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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
