2005 smart roadster review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant handling, gorgeous looking sieve!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car suddenly jumped out of gear repeatedly, engine would not rev and you would have to come to a complete stop, switch off engine and take key out and then start over again! Very unfortunate when it happened to me in the middle of the M4!
The roof leaks sporadically, seat-belts are very wet most of the time!
General comments?
Fabulous handling and fun car, only gripe is that it would be more than perfect with a standard gearbox and not the semi-automatic rubbish that smart insist on!
I have never had so many stares when driving this car! it really stands out in shine yellow!
It's so low than many people have difficulty getting in and out of it!
