Smart for TWO Amazing !!

wowowox · 10-21-2005, 02:29 PM

I've been driving the smart for a while, i find it that this car is amazing !! What i mean is, it look small but the room inside is BIG !! I was suprised by how many compartment, pocket etc there are !! Compare to my S it has everything the S got and perhaps with more !! the car it self is less than 1/2 of the s2k length, but the it is roomy and comfortable. If u r looking for a beater's car this is the one !!! however i think it is over priced, many probably go with the echo or miata, corolla etc....

MB canceled plans to bring it to the US, last I heard. I think there is a niche for small, but high tech, cars.

The problem is that the niche is probably as a hood ornament on the 6000lb H2 that just T-boned you in an intersection

If it is anything like the Smart Roadster in handling you can forget about having "fun" even in the wet.

On a skidpan on a rainy day even ripping the handbrake on would not get it to oversteer.

Handling is poor at speed, but in UK, early lhd models are now down to ?2500, which is a steal, with the first rhd models around ?3750 to start.

Great city cars and dead easy to park.

Easy chip and remap to 80 bhp as well!
