    Great fun without losing your license.

    A real head turner! I have never got such a response in any car before.

    Comfort

    Have an aftermarket alarm fitted.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Unfortunately the service from smart is terrible. The service centre seem to blame the manufacturer and vice versa. It took 8 months to replace the spare key and the car still leaks after 8 trips to the service centre.
