A Florida friend has 3 of them with 2 going to cannibalize parts to keep one going. They are glorified golf carts and other than running up to the convenience store I wouldn't be going down the turnpike/interstate in one of them. My friend is a big guy and he looks ridiculous driving the thing.

Two benefits you just pointed out:

1) smart cars are so cheap you can easily afford a second one for spare parts
2) fat asses can fit, just do not plan on having any passengers

Win, Win!!

A smart car does sound like a death trap.
A solid rear end event that pushes it into the vehicle in front, you aren't toast, you are a panini.
