Then get the ForFour.  The ForTwo is mostly for commuting to work and 
getting into tight parking spaces.  It is very popular in Europe for the 
size, as I expect, it will be in NYC, Boston, and the like.  It is not the

car for a family run from Yuma to Phoenix.

When I lived in Philly, I came home many a night and could not park close 
but had to pass spots that were just a little shorter than my full sized
or 
even compact car.  If I had a Smart, I'd just pull right in.  Where I live

now, I have 200 feet to park in at home and a spot at work that is 15 feet

from the door. .

Smart of Dumb?  Get back to me in a year or so after the consumer had made

their choice.
