Quite what the smart is doing at number three I don't know. I sold mine today as it was far from safe - a car with an engine that continually shuts off with no warning, whether braking or accelerating, driving up hill or down, is not really safe.
I'm glad to say and so is my son that his Smart Fortwo is nothing like this, plus its the 451 the newer revised models, out since2007, so maybe the earlier models specifically that one had the major problems
but now we all have relatively economical small cars, my 107, adams fortwo, and my husbands 09 newer shape agila
