Value
New price £13,500 a bit pricey, the dealer wont budge on that, however Smarts used car section on their official website has plenty of ex demo's, i got mine at £10,000, it had 11,000 miles on it after 6 months of being registered, also has leather seats
Costs
Low tax,55 miles to gallon, I pay £40ppm insurance.

On the road
Driving
Love it, even though your not going that fast, due to the low driving position it feels that you are. Great cornering a real plus point.
Performance
Auto gears sluggish, but you get used to them or use semi auto gears. Great on country roads, ok on motoways too.

Living with it
Reliability
After 6 months of ownership (12 months old) no problems
Image
Looks really smart, had lots of comments from all ages, it turns heads & opens jaws. Love it. the electric soft top roof reclines what ever speed your at 50,70,100mph & looks ultra cool!
Comfort
Recommend leather heated seats, they are fantastic early in the morning or in winter or if you have aches & pains-very relaxing. Seats hug you nicley too. Great driving position.
