They're amazing if you suck at parking. The newer one almost let's you do a complete U turn on a only tiny german village two lane road.
Can be fun to drive if you get used to the fact that the turbo takes like 2-3 seconds of full throttle to make the car move.

Parking like that? No.

I've seen videos of how people park by Braille. Or even give the adjacent cars a shove just to make room. Your sheet metal will look like shit after the first day.

I would buy one if they have a little price tag to go with the little bit of car you get, but alas those things start at 16k, and my dad is a mechanic and he told me the engineers cut alot of corners to make the drive train as compact as it is.

>daimler's biggest mistake
Didn't they acquire Smart so they don't have to pay taxes for gas guzzling engines, since Smart will be considered as their fleet, thus, overall their whole lineup has better gas mileage?
