Has never broken down, but has been to the garage 8 times in the 8 months I have had the car. A lot of leaking unfortunately.

A real head turner! I have never got such a response in any car before.

Very comfortable once you are in the car. Getting in is another story!

Security and Service
Security
Have an aftermarket alarm fitted.
Service
Unfortunately the service from smart is terrible. The service centre seem to blame the manufacturer and vice versa. It took 8 months to replace the spare key and the car still leaks after 8 trips to the service centre.
