You have to be "Crazy" to buy one of those "Smarts", imagine one of those Cayenne's (or anything else like a Ford Expedition!) out of warranty, going beserk and careening into you. Your trajectory should break all home run distance records.
Penny wise and pound foolish (imo) if you value your life. They serve a purpose in Europe for driving in Cities with very narrow streets..but not in the US.

In this age of 'bigger IS better', you can find larger cars even in SF 'tiny' streets (aren't you scared of looking at some of the attached pictures of our friends?), I hate it when someone's bumper is aiming at my forehead (they say it is some sort of basic survival instinct or something like that) why don't you get a mini cooper & a hefty life insurance ... they will still aim at forehead but probably if things happen you have a little better chance of living through it or making someone close very rich... driving in Europe & US are two very different animals.
I think Smart car is probably a good choice (in US) when shopping at IKEA.
Unlike my original habit , I wore my seat belts since day 1...long time ago...
Good luck!
