Absolutely, and I haven't driven one but the reviews suggest the motor labors even with that weight so you end up in the upper range of the powerband all the time eating up your gas milage. I really dug the Smarts I saw in Europe but at that price point I'd have to go w/ the Fit, it gets better gas milage, more room and it's fun to drive plus you have Honda's proven track record.
