    why would you want a Smart?

    I'm getting a 5 as a second car - they are great fun & soooo cheap to tune 8)

    I got a quote as one as a second car - really cheap 8)

    smart car every time. safer in a bash, newer design, ac & pas. cheaper running costs, better parking ability, reliable tuning options, better security.

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzz boring! the Smart will be slower than the 5 even if you tune it surely you want a fun car as a second car & are not really bothered about ac & pas!!!

    The 5 is really cheap to maintain - just visit the owners club website & you can get whatever parts you need for next to nothing 8) - they really are great fun 8)

    NeilC - i know what ure saying bro, i dunno which one to go for, weekend car or everyday car? thing is i like all 3 cars, r5, Gt and the smart.

    this is my plan for now: i wanna buy a cheap R5 GT to kick the f*ck out of it, have my fun and pass it on(won't keep it for too long), and buy a smart.

    i dont know, might sell my punto and keep the R5 and the smart car

    aaarrrrgggghhhh im getting confused, i hate making decisions like this

    GT for weekend warrior missions in the SEB4 setup with SMARTwith Brabus tuning for a daily runner.

    I thought this cars were 600kg and with 110hp that makes them 180hp per tonne.

    Not too bad then.

    so what is smarts 0-60?? one with 110bhp id guess under 9 seconds coz it has really low ratio gears and takes ages (about 1sec) between gear changes? can u hit 60 on 3rd?

    top speed of 86mph, evilution can they do anymore?
