Anyone got an details about the construction of the CDI engine and trans. in the Smartcar? Any one know anything about the longevity about them or weakneses or strengths. I'm just not finding amything about them much on the net except that they're cute and the usual diesel remarks(should last forever etc.)
Thanks
David

 

Speaking of the smart car... Imagine hitting one of these things in a head-on collision with one of our big CTD's... Be like swatting off a bug!

 

Apparently they do better than lots of the Mercedes like the one that I'm driving
