Smart Roadster

And baby it is, with a tiny 700cc engine, it is bigger than the Cappuccino it replaced but only just!

Shame then that it simply wasn't in the same league, where Suzuki went for simple fun with the Cappuccino, Smart instead decied on technology and gimicks.

Wheels far too big produced a harsh uncomfortable ride, not enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding, but they still put in traction control. And which brain dead moron decided to put the ignition key just where the passenger can accidentally turn the engine off with thier elbow? Very scary at motorway speeds (downhill).

But not as scary as the gearbox which was very clunky and so slow that you often found yourself pulling out into the oncomming traffic with your foot on the floor and nothing happening...
