Since Chrysler is no longer part of Diamler...does anyone know if this is going to happen????

My husband took our Yaris on a highway trip this last weekend. When I filled up the tank today, he had gotten 37 mpg. The car only has about 300 miles on it so it can only get better, I bet. What a wonderful little car.

maryinredding · 08-08-2007, 01:17 AM

The Smartcar has come to the United States as of last year, I believe. It could not be sold in California yet because of our strict smog laws, BUT it is going to be sold next year here. It is only a 2 seater car and that is why I chose the Yaris instead of getting one of these.

maryinredding · 08-08-2007, 01:20 AM

Chrysler will not be selling these cars. They blew their opportunity to do this a long time ago when they decided not to bring the 4 people Smartcar to the US. Then they "restructured" if you want to call it that, and that sealed the deal. I have read that the Smartcar ForTwo (that's the name it will be sold by) will be sold at independent dealers around the country. I believe they are asking $13,000 to $14,000 for them.

Nigal · 08-08-2007, 05:11 AM

The Smart Car is part of the Mercedes Car Group which I assumed was part of the whole Daimler/Chrysler juggernaut. They will be sold here in the US the first quarter of 2008 and will sell from $12K-@17K for the fortwo Passion Cabrio. The listed mileage is 40+.

All this translates into...not close to a Yaris. :)

marcus · 08-08-2007, 11:09 AM

the smart car is limited to i think 130 km/hr.....max!! our goes to 200km/hr

daq421 · 08-08-2007, 07:10 PM

I've got 20k on my 07' and I'm averaging 34.5 miles per gallon (US).. I love this little car..

My mileage is 39 MPG (6 Liter/100km) averaged over the first 4000 Miles. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so lots of stop and go. I never go over 65 Miles (105 km/h) and I turn off the engine at the 5 minute red lights we have here. Modest use of AC.

I wish I could have gotten the Yaris with the 70 hp engine Toyota sells in Europe. I don't understand why somebody wants a car which tops 120 Miles/h in a country where the speed limit is 70. I must be very naive.

Interesting! Though I can certainly use some spare power for emergency, should any happen, I would welcome a more fuel efficient model too. I am hoping that the diesel version will eventually become available here. We in BC can see more diesel cars around than our fellow members in CA. We already have the diesel smart-for-two here

i know its been really hot and humid here this week and i used the a/c almost all of the time but i dropped 5mpg from my last tank. i even filled up at the same station the same pump-i think i must have driven differently this tank but i try to drive conservatively-i wanna hit 40mpg!!!!

sherryberry · 08-11-2007, 07:23 PM

i still have yet to reach 40mpg. always 35 or higher.

In the absence of more details, I would like to think that most likely the one time low number is not your fault. It is actually not too low. Too many factors can affect the outcome of one tank. Please keep a long term record and look at the average numbers. You will be more pleased by that.

My average us up to 37 empeegee's...with no effort...guess I got a good "friday" car

Bredayaris · 08-12-2007, 05:57 AM

42,7 MPG and it didn't take much effort.
My right foot is very heavy, it doesn''t has to be hard to get 47 MPG with my car :)

Diesel versions enjoy really good fuel economy!

zyovka · 08-12-2007, 06:36 PM

Well, I'm very excited here, since break-in period is behind ( I've gotten 1600 miles on the odometer), my mpg increased remarkably since I had passed 1000 miles. I'm getting 36.9 mpg, and it's entirely city driving. Awesome! I just can't get enough of my Yaris. Next week I'm planning a big trip to Michigan, which will be mostly highway driving, so we'll see what it will look like....
