I took this awhile ago and thought maybe someone would be amused by it. I miss that car.

I only test drove a Smart Car once many years ago and right away I felt like it was a very cheap build quality. Maybe it was just that car and I should have tried some others, but I was looking forward to trying it out and remember being disappointed by it. Ended up leasing a Scion IQ, almost identically sized, but felt way better to drive. Still funny to me recalling my friend's reaction when realizing his arm rest in the back seat was the rear wheel well. Such an efficient use of space and absurd turn radius. That's the car I miss.
