If you're car recommends premium, put premium in it. Even with the sensors, you're not going to go broke spending another $4-6 per fill to put the gas your engine was designed for especially forced induction engines as they do tend to be more picky then NA engines on what octane they are burning. Considering cars these days that use premium are sports cars and luxury vehicles, if you can afford the $50K sticker for the car, you should be able to pay for the gas.
It is indeed a Smart, but unfortunately they no longer make this model. Mine was built in 2004 shortly before they stopped making them in 2005. More info on Wikipedia.
Ok, so the reason I went for a Q7 is that I have a large family and I needed 7 seats. Also, I live in the country (as you so rightly pointed out) so 4wd is often useful and sometimes necessary. If I lived in London I would never consider such a car.
For people with larger families and children there is very little choice when it comes to cars. I'm guessing you don't have small children because if you did you would see things differently.
As others have said, it is a bit off to criticize someones choice of car without knowing the circumstances in which it was chosen.
I don't drive a car, only bicycles and tractors 
Am I allowed to post one of the tractors I use ?
Am I allowed to post one of the tractors I use ?I'm a Chevy person myself, but damn that this is HOT. The Mustangs (new ones that is) keep calling my name louder and louder each day.
My car, stickered up for the trip to Le Mans
I like to see the Citroens in action!

Very nice! I'm keen to start doing track days - how did you get started? And what kind of mods have you put on your Beemer?
So do i! it has aged a little bit but i still love it
the silver one which is my street car has a full custom exhaust. Cat-less headers into custom piping, projector headlights with 6k HID bulbs, clear corners, sidemarkers, LED tails, m3 auto folding mirrors, CSL carbon fiber trunk, euro camshafts, custom intake, 19" staggered CSL wheels, bmw performance short shift kit...Since that picture i've also put a new front bumper on and put an alcantara wheel out of a later model 3 series in the car.
Best way to get started is signing up for some driving schools and getting your scca or nasa license. It really depends how far you want to get into tracking your car. If you just want to do it for some weekend fun every once and awhile the drivers schools are great. You get an in-car instructor and they help you with everything. You can still do the drivers schools without instructors as well though.
What kind of car are you thinking about tracking?
My Car is a 2001 Mercedes Benz ML 320,
nothing special besides how it loves gas, low gas milage, and takes octane 91 only.

^^^ Wow! Those all really yours? Mind asking what you do for a living?
I've never been a big Supra fan... let alone an import fan. Honestly, I've always found them too boring or too riced-out. But that's a gorgeous car you have there.

Drill holes in the gulf of Thailand; yep you got it I am in the oil business, I just wish I could afford to put gas in the Supra everyday
Another one with the roof off;
