Smarts are cool looking cars. The coupe/roadster especially. They serve their purpose and do it well. If I lived in a city like San Francisco I would buy a smar in a heartbeat. Good choice for your first car, will give you lots of experience. Getting an expensive luxury car as your first car is never a "smart" dicision...LOL |

I'm soon ready to make my call and get a SMART  I have just found out that I will get these rims for the car..  My car will actually stay original cause I found a car I want much more.. But I can't afford it right now.  I will hopefully test the SMART later this week..  Photo's and driving impressions then! Finally My own car... Can't wait!! |

I have bad memories of the Smart Roadster I drove - then again I've heard other people praise the handling so maybe there was something wrong with the car I drove (steering wise). But the jerky transmission still seems to be a problem in terms of refinment. Either way it's an ok first car. Nice color choice, will look good on your Smart and the rims too!  |

Don't forget that Smart is a Mercedes and I have heard people say that they have seen Smart cars with Mercedes badge! All cars have their faults but I think this is one of the better cars to have faults with. | |

Looking sharp Julius. The car suits you to a tee. Now both of us have roadsters. Right on.  |

All what smart is about is style/fashion and they practicity (sp?) of driving a very small car.... No one said that Smart makes phat cat cruisers nor M3s. PS. I know that they make lousy auto trannys from first hand though... It is an undeniable fact... | |

The engines aren't powerful, but Smart's aren't heavy either. In fact the Smart Roadster I drove had the turbo engine and it was fast as hell! |
