It’s great to see a car like this for sale and you can buy one at Riverdale Auto Sales<\/a> (South Boston, VA)!<\/p>\n

Here’s some views of the Smart car.<\/p>\n

According to Bunny Propst (owner of Riverside Auto Sales)…<\/p>\n

I drove it around last Wednesday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing the driver needs to be aware of is that, altho it has an automatic transmission, it shifts like a manual. You start off and the motor revs, then slows as it would if you had engaged the clutch and shifted to second. Repeat for four gears. But it has great acceleration and you could easily get a speeding ticket.<\/p>\n

It is so easy to get in to, and once seated, there is plenty of room. You forget you are in a really small car. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hopefully this car will sell fast and they’ll be getting some more. We strongly encourage our readers to head to Riverdale Auto Sales and take a test-drive. You just might drive home with a car that gets an estimated MPG of 41 on the highway and 38 in the city. That’s the way to help the environment and your wallet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
