Um... A/C, automatic soft top and a bunch of electrical doodahs make it sportier than I wish. Take off 3-400 pounds and the we would get into serious sport car territory.

2 seats, manual gearbox, your ass 12 inches off the ground and no roof = sports car.
No a/c, no radio or electrical doodahs and 400 lbs less, with roll cage, etc = race car.
I prefer the former...

I guess that makes a Smart a sports car...

P.S.: I did not mention roll cages or radios... Just look at the Miata, it had (dunno about new model, but it's supposed to be light too) all that was needed in a "sports" car including a radio, except the engine, yet was several hundred pounds lighter than our S. Wishful thinking on my part I guess, but our car is too heavy IMO.

Glad to hear the 2006 model is reliable! Not a small feat considering how many miles have been put on those 2006's already!
They're referring to Predicted Reliability . Their data comes from surveys sent to subscribers last year (I was one of them).
