Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not really bothered!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it's cute
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably would. The only downside is the dreadful service from Mercedes - very expensive and sloppy. So long as you can find an independent garage who doesn't mind coping with the car's eccentricities, or, better still, service it yourself, this needn't be a problem.
What are you likely to buy next?
Either another Smart car or a fifty year-old Austin A35, if I can find a decent one.
