Smart ForFour

[barrett]

Have any of you driven one? What are they like? Anyone know anyone
who owns one?

I am going to sell the focus soon, and I have been thinking about one of
these for my next car!

Cheap to run, good price, and imo they look fun. Plan to go and test
drive one at some point.

Opinions.

wish i could comment on it, had to learn in a Corsa instead, my tutor said he was going to get one but opted for Corsa instead. he did say he liked it though when he test drove it. not sure why he didn't buy one though

barrett the door is that way, please close it on your way out

thanks smileys/smiley17.gif

[pug_boe]

I agree G lol

However, it may be economical for barrett for going back and forth to the hospital etc

[Scott]

not pretty expensive for what you get mate?

[dannsax]

i think they look quite smart smileys/smiley9.gif

They seem pretty cheap for what you get, but not looked right into them
yet. I have glanced over autotrader and ebay, and they seem to be selling
for sensible money, low mileage, and they seem to have a decent spec.
Just a case of are they as slow as fcuk or are they ok?

[S9_DAN]

i really dont like them, the SMAT roadster is slow as fuck so i cant imagine them been that quick! personally i would go for something else.

LOL if you are going for a smart, get the Roadster Brabus, 100bhp, compares in performance and economy to a VTR (and before you say the economy of a VTR is shit I can easily get 40mpg out of kermit)
Either that or a C2 VTS, 0-60 in 8.1 secs, top speed 124mph (not that top speed matters on UK roads), aircon, and all the mod cons like anitlocking brakes. And you know what? Insurance group 8! 0.4 of a second slower than a Saxo VTS, and 6 insurance groups lower.

If you want economy + performance get a diesel, something like an Audi A3 or golf TDI. Then stick vegetable oil in your tank at £0.49p per litre smileys/smiley4.gif

A3

Not after seeing the difficulties oz had.

Was going to say that, after the problems Oz had i would stay well clear, how about something like the new ibiza cupra tdi??

[Clouds_mate]

Sorry for the Hijack but what was the problems Oz had with his A3?

[S9_DAN]

there was a lot wrong with that, the main one been it used to switch its self off when it likes and just shut down, i think it enjoyed doing it on the motorways the mostsmileys/smiley17.gif
