Advantages: heated seats, small size for parking,nippy,good towcar,easy to switch to auto.still stylish Disadvantages: fuel consumption could b better, need bigger fuel tank for long trips
This car is my second smart, have had it for nearly 7 years, and am looking to change to a new diesel one, cabrio of course. This is purely for an improved fuel consumption. otherwise the car i all i could want.
It handles well , the only time it can get hairy is if you are burning it on the mway.
Mod cons, the air con and heated seats are good, driving is well positioned , but sometimes you look for somewhere to put your arm in the passenger seat.
The carrying capacity has never been an issue , from a full family shop to a full size carpet or christmas tree stood out of the top.
The fuel consumption is not brilliant for a small car, the other diesel one I had was better , hence the change.
All in all the good points outweigh the bad and the car is really fun to drive even off road.we also tow it behind a camper van. ...
Advantages: cheap to run,nippy,easy to park,fun Disadvantages: only 84mph speed
For those of you who doubt the Smart Car (work collegues), it really is a little Jem.
First off the look:
Small, Sturdy and Rock Solid.
Ive driven bigger cars (who hasnt), and this little car is like a Scottie dogs, something small that wants to be big.
The room in the front for the Passenger and Driver is second to none. Im a good 6ft and a average width and there is loads of space all around me, including above my head.
The passenger has excellent space as well, better legroom as the chair moves back to allow more space.
The Ride:
The Smarts all come with either semi-automatic or semi-automatic and fully automatic gear boxes, effectivly meaning there is no clutch (well not one that you need to keep pressing to change gear).
Changing gear is a case of pushing up or down and keeping the foot on the gas. At first it seams to ...

production of the Roadster and forfour.
My first smart car was a Roadster Brabus, best described as a skateboard on wheels, but this review if for my latest smart car, a smartfortwo Brabus.
THE SPECIFICATION
The car has a 998cc turbo engine, at the rear of the car under the boot. The Brabus version delivers 98bhp, compared to the 74bhp of the standard fortwo. I have the hardtop version with a panoramic glass roof. The car is also available as a soft top where the roof retracts at the touch of a button, and the roof bars can also be detached and stored in the boot.
We have a CD radio with 6 CD slots, and 2 extra speakers. The sound is crystal clear in the car and delivers a great stereo surround sound.
