This is my preferred alternative to the Smart. The Smart is toylike, very useful for a single person or couple to get around the very heart of the city. I wouldn&#8217;t like to travel a couple of hundred miles in one. Mercedes, the builders of the Smart, have another model series, the A Series, which is small on the outside and big on the inside. Really. That&#8217;s because they put the flat engine under the passenger compartment. Inside the car is at least as big as an E Series Mercedes sedan. Outside, it&#8217;s smaller than a VW Golf. Its ride is sedan-like, even luxurious, not choppy. It&#8217;s peppy, even. I&#8217;m sure others will have their favorite candidates of great cars you can&#8217;t get, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Louis Rosetto<\/p>\n<p>**************<\/p>\n<p>I have to give proper respect where due: Mayor Bloomberg&#8217;s New York City communication system 311 works and works well.  So many of our needs from the government are simply needs for information and this handles it beautifully.  I&#8217;ve used it several times and have always been satisfied.  So simple and so effective: talking to someone who knows the city infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Stephen Turbek<\/p>\n<p>**************<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-Benz Here is one of several great cars you can&#8217;t get in the U.S &#8211; the Mercedes A series.
