smart fortwo 2014

I rented this Smart car thinking I’d get good gas mileage and a quiet ride. What I got was a monster-truck-meets-go-kart fever dream. This thing is lifted like it’s trying to pick a fight with Jeeps twice its size. I had to climb into it. I’m a big ol boy and felt like I was entering a clown car with self-esteem issues. And the exhaust pipes? Racing pipes on a Smart car is like giving a hamster a megaphone. Every time I hit the gas, it sounded like a bumblebee was drag racing a chainsaw. Heads turned. Children pointed. A Prius cried. Handling? Shockingly good. I could park on a dime—and with that lift, I could probably park on a dime. I drove over a curb just because I could. No regrets (not really Eric don’t fine me🤣🤣) 10/10 would rent again. Not because it made sense… but because it didn’t.

Personally the smart car wasn’t the best to take to Temecula due to wind noise because of the convertible top but I just needed something cheap for a work trip. Did it save me gas? Yes. Was it cheap to fill? Yes . That’s all I needed. I wouldn’t mind renting the smart car for around town plus I never driven one so it was a good experience. Definitely gonna rent another car from Josh’s lot this summer
