Smart City Coupe CDI Pure

It's dangerously attractive for its handling (yes, it's true you don't need a parking space with it, but you'll find one!) and enviably smart at the same time. Smart is not a "half-car", as some call it - during the time spent together, it turned out to be one and a half cars!
For example, if I (God forgive me!) have ever waited for a woman to turn green (read: you've repaired lipstick or polished a nail) or took advantage of such a moment to breathe something pleasant into someone's phone, and, of course, confusingly forgot to go to the first one, I didn't hear the hysterical symphony of trumpets behind me! ? The car has an automatic transmission and the technician took care of it for me - I was driving smoothly.
But even though the Smart is fragile for two, it's been hammered into its head from birth - that it's just a slightly larger motorized shopping cart, an amusement park car, or a pocket car so tiny that I'd rather carry it watchmaker. than an auto repair mechanic.…
But, they say, the poison is in small bottles. Perhaps it's true that Smart is even more suitable for two people - or even for one - especially if, like me, he has a strange and incurable (?) deformity that, for every trip from home, is "just in case" take 7 suitcases). In short, not too tight! I, for one, squeezed into it very comfortably with my two meters of feet and all the rubbish that came with it... And then this funny car became my little big "Billy's Sport" bag.
The Smart is almost half the size of a regular car – the birds (for some male comforters) are already chirping that women “fall” not in size but in good technique… And Smart has it – a sophisticated technique to conquer women – with a fragile appearance, but behind which hides a determined nature (100 suspensions for a joke, so you know!) and that steely charm of a man who realizes that a woman wants to be proud of him.
And, ladies, if you haven't had time to treat yourself yet, Smart is what you always need in life. Since a loving (and beloved) person can help us become who we want to be, you will also learn in his shell that in addition to feeling safe, you will receive confirmation that you are not only beautiful and admirable as a woman, but also terribly smart. and an experienced driver who never has trouble parking in reverse.
Oh yes, my Brihtko… We, as well-coordinated amateurs, indulged in the excitement of a fast and very reliable ride. And at the same time, ah and ah! , experienced asphalt peaks at frenzied accelerations, with which we lost the urban jungle ... If someone claims that today the car is a status symbol, then Smart is and much more - it is a sexual symbol.
However, when I took it almost as my fetish object, it suddenly seemed to me that my eroticization of a pretty pile of thoughtful and aesthetically arranged sheets of metal was already slightly perverted. At the time, I thought that… well… I could shift my libido to some, albeit a little softer (but not always only in hardness () but, therefore, a more alive being. A little acrobatic skills, a little savvy and agility and... hmm.. I'm just telling you - the Smart has great suspension. More on that another time.

Overall rating (253/420)
In richer countries, where the Smart is the third car in the family, it has an easier life as it is exclusively for the city and great: thanks to its agility and unpretentiousness when it comes to parking. But already as a second machine, it does not succeed, since its usability (spatially and in terms of performance) is too limited. Disappointing with the choice of materials and the ease of use of the interior!
Exterior (14/15)
The body is precise in Swiss style and the exterior is unique, attractive and popular with the majority.
Interior (79/140)
The toddler has plenty of room for two and is also meticulously crafted inside, with below average materials, ease of use and instrumentation.
Engine, transmission (30
/ 40)The engine is very good, lively and smooth, there are no comments on the gear ratios in the gearbox, only the efficiency is below average: it slows down and creaks.
Driving performance (51
/ 95)It is driver friendly, especially the gear lever with excellent movement. Position on the road, stability and handling are very below average. Otherwise, it fluctuates around the average.
Performance (16/35)
Even taking into account the city's destination, the acceleration is noticeably weak, even much worse than promised.
Security (33/45)
It has only two airbags and has very poor braking and very restless braking. Active security is very good.
Economy
It can use very little fuel, has a decent warranty, and keeps the used price well, but is generally very expensive.
