its rear engined, rear wheel drive, and 1,900 lbs. if you stomp the throttle and throw it into a corner, it hunkers down pretty good. lots of torque! the only thing is, because of the short wheel base, they made the traction control very intrusive... so if you get too crazy, it cuts the fun. you can turn it off, but its a procedure you have to do before you drive the car.
but yes, people don't realize the relief a smart car provides with literally parking it anywhere, not caring about door dings, speed bumps, or going up driveways at 45* so you don't scrape. i just mob that thing up driveways and over speed bumps. lol
its governed at 83 mph, and i have it pegged on the highway and it doesn't have any problem keeping up or passing.
