[Stress Puppy]

Smart Cars have 8 cubic feet of storage. Fits have 44.

Smart Cars get 33 city/41 highway mpg. Fits get 27 city/34 highway.

Well, that's what the websites say. I get on average 30 MPG in the city. My girlfriend gets significantly less, because she drives more aggressively.

A Smart Car is about $13K if you want A/C and music. Our Fit is costing us $16K with basically nothing added. (standard model, automatic trans, power windows, CD Player, A/C, power locks ... the basic package).

So, buy a SC and save $3K. You get 3-6 more MPG in the city and maybe 7 MPG more on the highway. You can carry some groceries or a gym bag or maybe a set of ultralight backpacking gear. In our Fit, we loaded that sucker completely full. So full we could barely see out of the back window. That's enough that when we moved, we didn't need much other than furniture. Clothing, books, movies, some lamps, etc.

I can't really stress enough how much I like our Fit.
