At the risk of sounding insulting or condicending or something. . . My only contribution to 'talking you out of it would be':
Dude. It's a smart car.

I had a car that looked like that once....
It was made by Matchbox.
But seriously, nice car.

It's okay, I don't mind.
Just remember, big car = small dick ... you do the math.

The latter doesn't work as well as you might think.

Smart car tipping is a growing problem in parts of Europe.
Except Amsterdam. There they've been picking them up and tossing them in the canals.
There's a reason I elected for a very small deductible on my comprehensive coverage. Just in case.
Collision, though, I have a big deductible. I figure I wouldn't survive anyway and wouldn't need to worry about it.

Or big scary guard dog tied to the bumper!
I guess we need to scale it down though... so maybe just an ill tempered Chihuahua.

Exactly. I think a medium-large dog could drag it off.

Drive the Hyundai til the wheels fall off. By then the new smart cars will make this one look dumb.
In any case everyone I talk to has gotten pimped on trading cars in. Better off selling it outright if you must.
In marriage there is always one person right. And the other one is the husband.

Yeah, I kept the Hyundai, 'cause they only offered $1200. I may keep it for a couple of weeks, and then decide what to do with it. Maybe private sale, maybe just find someone worthy who needs it and give it to them. No telling yet.

From the top ofthe world's tallest monument column my car doesn't look so tiny. Well, it does, but no more so than any other car would.

I always thought the Washington Monument was tallest. And Perry's Monument was second tallest.
Someone, somewhere told me that.
