Smart Fortwo Coupe (2004 - 2007) Pure 2d Auto (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not really bothered!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it's cute

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably would. The only downside is the dreadful service from Mercedes - very expensive and sloppy. So long as you can find an independent garage who doesn't mind coping with the car's eccentricities, or, better still, service it yourself, this needn't be a problem.

What are you likely to buy next?

Either another Smart car or a fifty year-old Austin A35, if I can find a decent one.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£6,000

When did you buy the car?

November 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. Car was an unwanted prize so £1300 off the new dealer price

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Easy to park. Very cheap to run. A bit different from anything else on the road. Low CO2.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Choppy ride. Doesn't like sidewinds, but nippy.

What's it like to park?

Absurdly easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Doddle to park anywhere.
