Wow! The Smart Car wheel base is only 73.5 inch (186.7 cm) compared to the Yaris 3-door LB at 96.9 inch (246.1 cm)!
Must be horrible in snow... wheel base and weight combined?

Atleast the Smart Car is rear wheel drive. Too bad the Yaris can't say the same.

Actually, the car in the photo would have a wheelbase of 71.3 inches. The 3rd gen model which made it into the US is longer at 73.5

no, i drove one out east, the acceleration is pretty horrible if you need to get moving.....moreso because of the transmission which always granny shifts gear-gear
much better economy with the diesel, though
