2004 smart fortwo - city coupe Pulse Cabrio review from UK and Ireland
"Very safe nice little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The button for operating the roof fell off.
If not shut exactly right the boot used to leak slightly.
General comments?
The car was very nice to drive, and even though I was running it in I would say it was sprightly and even though it had a 700cc engine it was more than fast enough since it had 61bhp.
The operation of the roof was fast, and useful when it rained as it only slides along roof and then folds down it can be operated while driving.
Fit and finish of the car was very good, but then is to be expected on a £9k half a car for only 2 people..
And on to the last point I can personally vouch on the brilliant crash worthiness of the smart as mine was crashed into on the third day after I had just bought it brand new. so I can say that in a crash be in a smart and no other small car, because it's a seriously strong car.
