Design changes

[AndyM]

What design changes should or you would like to see be made to our Smarts in the light of the years of experience we now have?(Sensible ones that could be implemented by DC)

[Leomobile]

there is one already whether it will make producton is anyones guess but i would like a quicker gear box

[Darkstar]

Yeah, a quicker gear box would be a good idea.

wider tyres as standard!!! 185 all round minimum!!

[Guest]

[Guest]

200bhp engine???

[Guest]

200? round it up to an even 300

[Guest]

Sod the mods, I would just like decent back up service that isn't toooo expensive and a decent dealership where somebody knows what they are talking about and what they are doing.......<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
200bhp sounds good but don't legislate for it to last very long.........<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Some way to adjust the height of the seat belt, other than slipping it out of the guide on the seat (which doesn't really do the trick).

How about

UK Wiper Mod, i.e. adjust the sweep to give best coverage on drivers side

heated washer jets to defrost them in the winter

heated front windscreen

a heater that is worthy of the name

side impact airbags as standard

[Guest]

oh yes, heated front screen - i miss that from my old focus, only thing i do miss from it though!! as smarts does mist up easily with 2 peeps in it.

I agree with the wider wheels thing, and deffinately heated front windscreen.

A larger network of garages would be good save trekking up to Manchester.

Totally agree with the heated screen,I believe that there is a problem in that Ford seem to have all the Patents etc and rights to use said screen.The scrren wash jets also need to be revamped dont know why they changed the design from being on the wiper arm a la citroen?An ajustable backrest on the passengers side would help and a quick look at a new rear view mirror would help.And the horn well thats on my to do list for this year!!!!
