Ok...competition entered..despite the fact I just bought one of these!!!
I think it's a great car....magazine reports have said that it's extra weight dulls the performance...(well clearly, it's no sports car)...but I got the diesel version...and it's at least as quick as a normal smart, plus is returning over 50mpg on round-town driving (I'm hoping this will get to over 60 out of town and once it's run in a bit!)
The doors are ace....and such a pose, as you open then with the remote as you walk towards the car...(Scares the s**t out of people near the car!hahaha)....
....and I've just found out, if you need extra power...a chip is available which gives an extra 30bhp & 60ft/lbs torque....for about £450.:winker:
Interestingly enough, my father-in-law recently bought one of the 1007s (we kindly took his Smart ("Coup") off his hands). He loves the 1007, (his is a petrol and in a metallic electric blue sporty version as far as I can remember) He especially loves the sliding doors and loads of hidey holes for knick-knacks...Bearing in mind he's in his 70s he was finding getting in and out of the Smart in the garage a bit tight, hence the purchase of the sliding doored 1007!
