The smart is an odd little car, it has only 2 seats, only 600cc's and it's pretty much half the length of your average car. It's not really my thing, I'm into my fast cars, but I do get the point of the little smart. It's so easy to park, I've reversed it straight into spaces I otherwise would have parallel parked into, it's a great ...  Read the complete review

A family member recently bought a Smart Passion which so far is his best car he has bought new .His previous car a Citroen Saxo 1.1 Forte, has been defeated in every way by his new Smart but ...  Read the complete review

The Smart is a 'Micro Car' or 'Road Legal Go-Kart' if you like. It's produced by MCC (the Micro Car Company), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Daimler-Chrysler group. It's a marmite car; you will either love it or hate it! I personally love it. I have really liked these for a good while now, and ...  Read the complete review

Availability: I bought a Mark V Smart Passion. This is the very latest model, at the time of ordering there was a bit of a wait. The impression of the showroom was that you can have one in two-to-three weeks, but I ended up waiting several weeks with little or no news. This was because, although the specification of my car was not unusual, there ...  Read the complete review

MARCH 2007 REVISION. I haven't made any major revisions to what I had previously written, as my wife and I are still much in love with our dear little Smarty, but I have added a few afterthoughts as a last paragraph, based on what is now more than 5 years ownership. The good news is that there’s little to report that’s ...  Read the complete review

We were amongst the first buyers of a Smart Car officially imported by Smart Car UK through the Birmingham dealership. Though many people have either imported privately or bought through a dealer who has privately imported. See www.thesmartclub.co.uk for a map of ownership (registered owners). We have a 2001 Passion model purchased just before ...  Read the complete review

The first time I saw the smart it made me laugh. I then decided to test drive this strange little car - amazing - I NEEDED one! Now I own a smart car and everytime I drive it (even after one and a half months) it makes me smile. It has a feel good factor about it. Everything about the car is unusual, even the rev counter is positioned in a ...  Read the complete review

Hi there, just a brief note to anyone slighty interested in the SMART. I am an Owner of the SMART Passion, I have been since April 2000. And what do I think ? Well I think it's a great car. I used to have a Vauxhall Corsa, and was originally thinking of getting a Vauxhall Omega, that was till the price of running it suddenly occured ...  Read the complete review

Samrt cars, what a cracking idea. I'm sick and tired of seeing the usual four seat boxes on the road, it's good to see a car that is a little different and vert practical as well. How many people drive their cars every day on their own? Most cars have at least four seats and the back seats are almost never used, what a waste. It ...  Read the complete review

When I recently took up my new position I was offered a company car. When my managing director discribed it as a smart car with a mercedes engine. I hadn't heard of or seen the car. I asumed that he meant a smart car meaning a cool, impressive vehicle! Little did I know that this was what he was offering. As soon as I saw photos in ...  Read the complete review

Designed by Swatch and built by Mercedes (now Daimler-Chrysler), these little cars are a really good idea. When they were first released in the UK, you could only buy them in lefthand drive so they were slightly difficult to insure, but this has now changed and right hand drive vehicles are available (although they are still quite few and far ...  Read the complete review
