Or like buying the few cars which needed the engine to be removed to replace the spark plugs. It's simply a bad design choice.

- dhughes 14y agoA woman in Halifax bought a SMART car she was the second owner, the engine failed and she was told it was unserviceable since the engine had to be replaced entirely it was a single unit. The replacement engine was $14,000 for a $5,000 car! http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/74442-smart-car-not-so-smart http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/74442-smart-car-not-so...
- pivo 14y agoWow, thanks! I very nearly bought one of those.
- sliverstorm 14y agoGod, those SMART cars, I used to think they were neat. Then I learned that the ONE THING you would think they could do well - fuel economy - isn't even that impressive. Something like 40mpg for the base model?
- stephengillie 14y agoThey get as good MPG as my 13 year old Sentra.
- lurker14 14y agoSMART car is $12-$25K now, so that problem is solved.
