Come on I think that you are a girl after my own heart.
There is no comparison.Most Mercs will go on forever, where as how long will the smart car last even though its newer?

Depends how much driving you do and what it is like for parking where you are, as a farmers wife we are pretty remote and I drive a 4x4, no probs parking at home or locally, but if I had to drive and park in a city I would have a smart car!

If you have the money the A class is a fantastic little car, and deceptively roomy. Just remember that the long term maintenance costs will be higher.

To be honest I'd pick almost anything over a smart car, except a mini of course.

The Mercedes will cost more than a regular car when it comes to maintenance and repairs. I would opt for a car which is reliable, fuel efficient, and fairly low maintenance.
