As a second car we're thinking of getting a smart car. The car will be used to travel to and from work 5 days a week, around 60 miles a day. These cars are known for being great city cars, but I'm unsure of how they'll cope doing around 45-50 motorway miles a day.....or how my girlfriend would cope in it.
Does anyone know about them, or have any experience of them on long journeys/motorways?
Thanks

I see them nearly every day on motorways, not keen on the looks myself, but to be fair as a car i think they would make a brilliant daily drive

they are great for commutes etc, my step dad uses his every day for work and thats a 50 mile round trip, only £20 to fill the tank and can easily do 200 miles to that and he has a heavy right foot.
TBH if i didnt need space for my son in a car aswell at the min i was considering selling up and getting one

not sure what older ones are like, missis has 59 plate for work and the upchange is awful takes half hour, best option would be test drive one
