How reliable is a Smart Car?
I’ve loved Smart Cars ever since I drove my friend’s for a week last year. They’re so easy to park! I’m thinking about buying one, but I need more info first. Are they reliable? Will it last me a long time?

The
Smart Car
company has a good reliability score, making it pretty average when compared to other car brands on the market. They will typically last for 150,000 to 200,000 miles before breaking down, meaning you can own one for 10 to 13 years before you need to replace it or make major repairs.While maintenance costs are a little high for the Smart Car, you’ll also save on fuel since Smart Cars are so small and lightweight. The actual cost of repairs will vary based on the model you own, but drivers average a little over $800 per year in maintenance costs.
