Overview
The Smart Roadster puts the fun back into driving – and you don’t need to risk your licence to get your kicks. This is one of two versions – it swaps the rear glass of the Roadster Coupé for a small boot and convertible roof. Despite its sporty looks, it’s not actually very quick – but that’s not the appeal. It’s light, handles superbly and is fun to chuck around corners; the low-slung driving position gives you a feeling of being in the thick of the action – just like a true sports car should.
