The US is trying to bring in the Smart Cars here...or as I would say 'The Smaahhht Caaaah" It would make parking a hell of a lot easier because everyone with big fancy cars leave waaay too much space in front and in back of them  Parking is commodity in the city....don't waste space!I'm looking at smart cars too, but there's quite a wait list for them. I can get a used mini for quite a bit cheaper. I won't be ready to buy for at least another few months, but for the first time in my life I'm kind of excited about buying a car.  I had no idea that smart cars were not available in the US. That's a bit shocking. It seems to be the company car of choice here. They are everywhere. | |

they don't have the best reputation on mechanics huh ... That is what I hear, it also depends on the year, from what I have been told. It does not need to last us forever and we did not pay a lot for it. I am learning to drive in the UK in it so I did not want something too expensive in case I wreck it.  Alfa's like all Italian cars are extremely high maintenance. Usually in the U.S. people treated them like Fords or Chevys and they broke from not being maintained. Same with Fiats only the high end Italians like Ferrari and Lamborghini manage to get the attention they deserve Le prego di non toccare la macchina per favore! | |

We shall see. | |
