The Smart Car, and it’s tiny in size and price.

At 106 inches long, the Smart Car is smaller than a mini cooper. Popular in Europe, it’s now being sold in the U.S. It costs between $13,500 and $16,500 for the convertible.

Most people who saw it for the first time loved it. Tommy Payne was one of them, so he purchased the 2008 Smart Car.

It seats two people, and with a 71 horsepower, three-cylinder engine it could be the next big thing.

Payne said he gets attention everywhere he drives.

“You stop at a traffic light and people are honking and rolling their windows down to asking questions,” he said.

The smart car doesn’t stop TXA 21 auto analyst Jerry Reynolds in his tracks. He’s not impressed with the gas mileage, and worries about driving it on the highway.

“If you actually look at the car, drive it, compare it to what else is out there, I don’t think you’ll buy this car,” he said.
