A few weeks back. .Tiny car, HUGE interior. .anyone remember?
There was a link to a couple of really really big guys getting into an itty bitty car, and having plenty of room in there. Can anyone remember what car that was?

6. so for $25,000, I could buy a used, tiny car that gets 40 miles to the gallon?
I don't see the benefit. It's not cheap; it's not fuel efficient. I guess it is easy to park. :shrug:

9. The 2005 models available on the site are about $25K
http://asmartcar.com/smarts.html

$12K would make more sense, although I think one could get a Yaris for that and get better MPG.

11. The Scion Xb is also spacious.

I'm a big guy (6'4" and nearly 400 lbs, yes I know I need to lose weight) and I fit very comfortably in the front and....


.... in the back seat too....

...even with the front seat all the way back.

Its amazingly spacious for people on the interior.

Gas mileage is ok. 28-30 in city.
