Great Car for the West Coast; Never a parking problem. Always able to fit in somewhere. Easy in & out. Non-electric maint., I bought it Nine years ago from the original owner. Love this car. It is a convert. Brabus 2009. UPDATE; 2017, Yes I still have the car. It is not my daily driver. I have a 3/4 ton truck for my daily work. I still enjoy this little guy after all of these years. If I decide to sell it? It's not b/c I don't like it. I might just want to try something else. Going out to dinner downtown. We take the Smart and leave the BMW at home. Why? So easy to PARK and get in & out of. When you are inside, it feels much bigger than it looks like from the outside.Update; 1/7/18 Yes, I still have and am Happy with it. Sorry I don't see more of them around. Much better than an electric or hybrid car. Update: 1/8/20 So, now I here that the Smart car in the US is no longer sold here. Will the value of my Brabus go up? Will M-B still service it? I have only 33,000 miles on it. I just took it into M-B for the 40k service. Cost $500. wow! But, they did find my problem with the OEM alarm going off. It was a bad FOB Battery. I know pretty weird but it work fine now. No problems with the car, interior or convt top. Still Happy 8/15/21 I retired, sold my Smart car and moved out of Calif. I got a good price $6,500 and had a few phone calls about it. Really sorry to let it go, it was a good 10 yrs with it. 1/18/24 I still miss this car. But, now I have an electric C40 volvo so much more fun and great tech

We had to wait a very long year after placing our reservation for our smart - her name is Daphne. The only way you know you're driving a tiny car is when you get ready to park it. It has wonderful pep; great head-turning quotient - makes everybody smile; and is such fun to drive. We got caught in a heavy snow squall about a week ago and in no time we were driving in a couple of inches of snow (no snow tires) on curvy, hilly country roads. The car performed beautifully. We have ordered the aftermarket exhaust system and are considering replacing the red body panels with yellow ones. Guess we could sell the red ones on eBay.

Let me be the first to sing praises of the BRABUS model. As a fairly fickle person when it comes to cars, I never had purchased the same make/model of car twice (let alone in a row). It all started with a very early delivery of my 2008 SMART Passion which I enjoyed for 20K miles plus. While debating to extend the warranty or trade to a different vehicle, I decided to take a BRABUS for a spin. The bigger rims, heated leather seats, the well sculpted body and the better suspension made it an easy decision and now my Black BRABUS hatch looks gorgeous in my driveway and it gets a lot of looks. For those who doubt the BRABUS magic need to test drive this car. Its a truly a SMART for the guys.
Most fun car ever, take it everywhere

This car is solid, fun to drive and great in the snow - with engine over the driven wheels and traction control. It's so much fun to drive that I have sold my BMW motorcycle in favor of this car. My wife and I take the car everywhere and can ALWAYS find a parking spot that nobody else can get in! The transmission in full auto mode does take a little getting used to, but the paddle shifters are available to give you what you want when you want it if you don't like the auto shift program.
Good things come in small packages!

Anaylze the situation: 3 cylinders, 5ft. x 8ft., 2 seats...O.K...now continue: This is the best thing since the telephone!!! The reviews that say no power, or no room, or whatever...GO buy a GAS burning, giant SUV and SHUT UP! This little cutie-pie is great for what you get! I have power steering, leather heated seats, remote keyless entry, alarm, etc. Some of the bigger/money cars don't come with that. Sold by Mercedes Benz, how civilized is that. I drive a Harley Road Glide, as well, and both are a blast! How dare those people to complain! The turning radius and parking ablity cannot be touched by GAS gusslers! Oh, and for the size, it is the safest by far!!
