Is the price of a Smart car justified?

I’m thinking of buying one and can’t determine how much of the cost is due to its uniqueness, compared to its qualities as a car. Some say you pay a lot for what you get. Do size, gas mileage, and quality account for the cost? How will the resell value be over the coming years?

The consensus is that you have to be willing live with a lot of trade offs. The Smart car is small, in a collision with another vehicle that is bigger than it (which is every other car on the road) the laws of physics dictate the the Smart will get the worse end of the encounter. Smart likes to tout their safety cage, but you cannot engineer your way out of the laws of physics. The Smart is also quite slow. The transmission has been widely criticized. Consumer Reports, who normally champion small economical cars was not impressed with the Smart in the least.

What you do get is good fuel mileage (though not much better than more substantial cars like the Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris. You get good room for two, and you get great maneuverability and easy parking.

IMHO it’s not worth the trade-offs. I would go with the Honda Fit/Jazz before I would have a Smart.
