Smart ForTwo 2002
A smart car is exactly what it says on the tin - A SMART CAR - economical, comfy, and once you get used to its quirkyness very user friendly.

Smart ForTwo 2003
This car is a great car for my daily commute. It is very economical to run (costs me about £15 a week in petrol to do a 30 minute round trip each day) and is suprisingly nippy. I live in the welsh valleys and it seems to cope extremely well with the many steep hills in my locality. It can also be quite fun, pulling out of junctions because it is so nippy - a little too nippy sometimes. The downsides are, that on some occasions it can be slow to change gear, and also it does not handle adverse weather conditions very well i.e. ice, snow, rain etc. It also seems to go through a hell of alot of oil. I have to fill mine up once a month, and I belive that it is a common problem with these cars to run out of oil. It also has limited boot space but it is surprising how much you can cram in. The interior is basic but comforrtable enough. It is also a dream to park, and you can feel quite smug on occasion after parking it in incredibly small spaces.

Smart ForTwo Cabrio Passion 2005
After years of hating all Smart cars, I finally bought myself a Smart ForTwo Cabrio Passion last week. It’s 4 years old and in immaculate condition. Every time I drive it I find that I’m grinning from ear to ear like some mad woman!! It looks so cute, drives really well (the automatic gearbox takes a bit of getting used to) and is econimical on all fronts. It’s more spacious than the front of my previous car (Ford Focus) and feels safer! I can honestly say that I have fallen head over heels in love with my little Sammy Smart Car ;o)

Smart ForTwo Cabrio 2002
I’ve found my Smart car to be economical on fuel, tax, insurance and reliable. I couldn’t fault it except one major recent problem. After 6 years of happy driving and virtually no problems, the softtop roof failed - through no fault of my own the top has buckled and the wires have snapped. Mercedes tell me it can’t be repaired and have quoted me nearly £3,000 for a new roof! A staggering amount of money given that the car is mechanically sound. They have offered no goodwill, they say due to the age of the vehicle (despite being only 6 years with low mileage). My argument that the roof should last the lifetime of the vehicle has been ignored and I am left with a hefty bill or a car I can only drive on hot days! When I asked if they would at least waive the labour cost (£500 so goodness knows how much they pay their mechanics) they told me and I quote "Why would we do that?" Unbelievable. My advice is think very carefully before buying a soft top from Mercedes. And remember that a Smart is a specialist car and only Mercedes have the parts so I can’t go elsewhere to get it done cheaper. Just remember when you go in their flash showroom and waiting area, the fresh coffee, tea and cakes is paid for by the customer who pay inflated rates for repairs and servicing. They couldn’t care less about their customers.

Smart ForTwo 0.7 Passion 2004
We bought this as a second car, a run around for when we really needed 2 cars. Boy, what a great thing it is. In the 5 years we had it, we did not have a single issue, except for an aircon-leak that was repaired under warranty. It’s a real joy to own, even more joy to park. Fuel economy is not entirely what you would expect, with only around 50 MPG, but we push the car really hard in every occasion, as in the city you’re faster around than in a Ferrari. Took it to the continent, Paris, Brussels, Provence, if you take enough time to rest during the ride (which can be hard for your back, and noise reduction is not the car’s best quality). Motorway is fine as long as there’s little wind. If you’re looking for a problem less, really cheap to run second car and don’t necessarily need 4 seats, have one of these!

Smart ForTwo Passion 2004
Interesting to drive with amazing room inside for two chunky adults and a Springer spaniel. Gears changes require a degree of skill to smooth them out, both auto and manual. Not perfect but once mastered acceptable in town and country with smooth changes the order of the day. Low excise duty, lots of miles per gallon, although insurance not as low as I expected. Still cheap motoring with the added bonus of fun with little risk to your licence.

Smart ForTwo Pulse 2000
We’ve had our Smart for 8 years now (80,000 miles) with no serious problems. It’s a cheap car to own and run and just so much fun to drive and safe as well! It is surprisingly BIG inside and it’s amazing just how much you can get in it. Performance is also good when you know how to use the car. We will definitely buy another when this one gets tired but no sign of that yet.

Smart ForTwo Passion 2008
New car that is excellent in every respect. Gear change is much smoother and noise level considerably reduced. Running costs make this the ideal every day car for most people.

Smart ForTwo Cabrio 0.7 Pulse Cabrio 2dr 2006
Just bought this used (hardly) beautiful fortwo car and I have to say it’s just a brilliant little car to drive. It does take a little getting used to (it’s so dinky) but feels very safe and solid and just looks gorgeous!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!

Smart Roadster 80 [RHD] Auto 2dr 2004
Just bought this two weeks ago with less that 7,000 on the clock and in pristine condition. It’s a fabulous car and I’ve had many people admiring it and asking me about it. I love the fact it’s not a car you see everywhere you go. Lovely to drive and I can’t wait for warmer weather to get the top down. Roll on summer!

Smart ForTwo Cabrio Passion 70 2dr 2007
I’ve had my Passion Cabrio for two weeks now and I just find myself looking for excuses to go out in it at every opportunity, I love it that much. I really liked the look of the fortwo smart car and hadn’t even considered the Cabrio until I spotted it in the showroom and before I knew it I’d test driven and bought it! The semi automatic gear box took some getting used to but once you have the drive is very smooth. Very nippy around town and of course parking is a breeze. I’ve only done one long distance journey s far and although it’s not the quietest car on the motorway, I had no problems at all. Brilliant bit of engineering and yes it is cute!

Smart ForFour 95bhp 1.5 CDI Pulse 2006
The Smart ForFour is slightly more expensive than other superminis out there but I think it’s one of those cars you just fall in love with. Looks wise there’s nothing else like it, which is exactly what I wanted. This car has personality which a LOT of cars these days are sadly lacking. Great fun to drive and should keep its value well. I think this is a really great little car.

Smart ForTwo 0.7 Passion 2007
60mpg! Can’t argue with that. Safety features are good, EPS, brake assist and ABS as standard. Improved drive and performance on the older models. This is my second smart and I would definately go for it again.

Smart ForTwo Coupe CDi 2dr
Extremely light on fuel, fun to drive and can park on a sixpence! I love my Smart car, it is perfect for city living. I really do highly recommend this car to anyone.
