I would even keep it if I won the lottery. It's fun it's funky super to drive , no problem doing 80mph . Like you say , a bit wobbly in the wind but apart from that it is just great. I managed to get my sister to buy one a couple of years ago and she just adores it. As you say it's like driving with your friend and you want to speak to it and thank it for bring a pleasure to drive.

I love big hills - always have since I was a kid. We had two fab ones near where I grew up in Yorkshire and our old Land Rover really struggled to get up them - it was always an event. My Smart has a 700cc engine, but since the car is so light I reckon it's the equivalent of at least a 1.1 in a small four seater. I used to have a 'top of the range' Rover Metro 1.3 (tongue very firmly in cheek), and driving the Smart is not dissimilar. I loved my Metro and I love my Smart even more. It just has so much personality and folk are always surprised how fast it'll go. I bomb up and down the motorway, zip around town, nip into parking spaces that won't fit any other car - it's just fab! Plus it's just sooo cute. Are you thinking of getting one? Jo Hi Michelle

Its been a really interesting and enjoyable read, but just wondered what engine size your little zebra has, and don't spose you've ever done Wynnats Pass (Castleton, Peak District) in it have you?
