2004 smart fortwo - city coupe Pure 700cc turbo from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A little ball of german fun (how rare is that)
Faults:
Nothing so far. :)
General Comments:
Bought the little thing as my beetle drank fuel and was high on insurance.
The smart is fun to drive, economical and has plenty of people making parts to make it even better.
SmartRus have a massive selection of add-ons for my smart which I can't wait to get fitted.
Great purchase as long as you don't need more than 2 seats, but you won't be looking at this if you have that problem.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I used to own a 2001 Passion back in the day! I used to get some jokers pulling out on me as if as though I was only doing 10mph, but usually doing the legal speed of 30mph or 40mph. The car that just pulled out getting a shock when I am either, licking their tailgate, or over taking them (and ready to drop a gear if they try to accelerate me out and try to embarrass the Smart!)
Also other cars did get a shock when I used to accelerate them out at the lights. My main point being, non-Smart owners think it is a toy and does not accelerate, brake etc like a real car. To non-Smart owners it is NOT a toy, it is a REAL car, it will hurt you if step in front off it just like a real car!
(And I know a Smart car has written off a Merc, and the Smart was fine apart for some cosmetic damage! So watch out and been warned. Enough said, Over and Out)
