Howaythelads 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well I've got a Toyata Avensis that I want to flog if you're interested. 4 years old, just <30000 miles. Very sound car and will run and run. I'm after a Smart Car for commuting short distances to work. 102926[/snapback] I'll never be able to take you seriously again! 102937[/snapback] Something wrong with this car 103025[/snapback] From now, take a good look at every SMART car you see and then check out the driver, its a big big fave car among a certain group of the population, not sure how to put this but well ermmmm lets just say Meenzer wouldnt feel out of place driving one 103026[/snapback] Hmmm, food for thought. Perhaps I should stick with Toyota or walk, can't get public transport because it's crap as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Wot aboot this one then............ Car2 103036[/snapback] Now that's a beast, the kind of car that commands respect, so you don't have to. It says brandy in the board room, cheap flings with Brazilian lingerie models and skiing in St Moritz with Chuck Norris; just a shame it doesn't come in hot pink.

That means you haven't got to spend the £5 on the weekly car wash, just let the car get dorty and change the panels every 6 months or so., although pink would suit Graeme pretty well. Looks ok in black, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 60mpg ( real mpg ) on short trips, lower emissions and all that stuff. If everybody drove these cars think of how much better it would be for future generations. This is important stuff, Graeme. Much more important than you covering your unfortunate lack of a proper nob with some kind of statement you're making with the car you're driving. Suppose with a ginga nut and acne, as well as the other thing, you've got to try everything. Mind you, the flip side is that we'd all end up paying more income tax. The twáts running the country would see revenue drop with less tax coming in from car drivers, less tax from smokers etc etc. They've got to line their thieving pockets somehow.........

chester mag 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 From what I hear them Smart cars are in big trouble they have 1000s lieing in fields that no one wants.

It's right that the company is struggling as it made heavy losses in recent years (their head quarters are close to where I live, a friend got sacked as they had to cut jobs). So they stopped the production of the roadster as it wasn't selling very well. No wonder because the car looks shite and isn't very handy (and if you want a small roadster you are in fact better of with a Mazda). If I was going to buy a Smart it would only be the "normal" one.

My sister has a Smart Roadster which ive driven and i think that it is different to the 5, but its got amazing roadholding and is more like driving a go kart than anything else. Its much lower to the ground than the 5. Downside to the Smart is that it has lots of problems with leaking seals and the auto gearbox is too slow.
