Smart car.
Anyone on here had a Smart?
Looking at a Smart Four Two as a runabout. Don't need anything fancy as won't be doing long journeys in it, dirt cheap to run and easy to find a parking space. Any experience of them? |

I had 1 for 6 months last year, strange to drive at 1st but great fun once you're used to it not rolling over, parking is great

Bit of a left-field choice isn't it? What makes you want one of those?
I have a little Ford Puma for shopping and generally-leave-everywhere duties, it's ace and only cost a grand. I even treated it to some Pilot Sport 3s!

Parking can be a nightmare at times. Live in a area with cottages built around 1840 with road widths to suit and the thing with a Smart is the flexibility with parking with it being so small. Have a garage but Cesil lives in there and we don't have a drive. That's why the GP had to go. It was a liability parked on a narrow road and forever trying to find a safe spot. |
