2002 smart fortwo - city coupe Pulse review from UK and Ireland
"To get FUN back into your commute then drive this car - and wave to all the other owners please!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with my car (fingers crossed - touch wood!).
General comments?
Such amazingly great fun! I've been driving over 10 years now and this is the only car that still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it!!
It's prone to drifting in light wind on M-ways, and understeers on tight corners - still it adds to the fun and challenge!
The cabin is innovative (if short of storage space that is closed from prying eyes) and massive inside - a constant comment from new passengers is the huge amount of legroom on their side and how wide the cabin is. They can sit cross-legged and still not intrude in my area.
Beware of rear-view mirror - can't se much out of it, and it creates a new blind spot for me when going round corners (out the front screen).
Have consistently got 55MPG from it - mainly 16 mile a day town commute, but also the odd Costco or IKEA dash down the M1 (from Luton).
