Debate Yaris vs. Smart Car Please help! - Toyota Yaris Forums

One issue that comes to mind is driver fatigue. The Smart 1.0 liter engine has to work harder to maintain highway speed. While OK for city/surburban driving the drone of the Smart's engine would take it's toll on longer trips. Even the Yaris is hard on longer trips.

Back in my younger days I had a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle. I drove that thing all over the Northeast. It was excellent no frills driving and it was rust not mechanical problems that did it in. It was very tiring at times. The Yaris is much more comfortable that the Bettle was. Still I probably wouldn't want to make those same trips today. Maybe I'm getting older <VBG>.
