To the poster who mentioned leg and back strength, they're designed to take impacts pretty well from the crash tests I've seen the cockpit remains intact. I was under the impression they got better gas mileage than sub 40mpg...if that's the case what's the point

The smart fortwo is designed to achieve 33 city/41 highway mpg according to 2008 EPA standards, which involves measuring mpg while taking into account real-life driving conditions such as start/stop city traffic, air-conditioning, heating etc. According to information obtained on fueleconomy.gov, the smart fortwo is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid gasoline-powered vehicle in the USA today. The gas tank of the smart fortwo is 8.7 gallons
