I quite like a car that has a 4 out of 5 star safety rating which most cars at its price dont have.

isnt a smart car like THE most dangerous thing to have a crash in ever? I swear fifth gear did some test on it involving instant death.

They tested it at 88mph and crashed it into a 4 ton wall. Even if you were in a bus or a top of the range merc you would have died as your body connot handle going from 88mph to stationary in one second. Whats important is how well the car stood up to the opel corsa that they also crashed. Smart is german. And i trust german engineering. Mike

this thread sucks balls,

08micsta, fair play for sticking up for your mums car and how envolved you are in it and this forum, but you should learn when to quit!

Its reserved for the MK2 calender as there probably aint more than 12 MK2's still running to be on a calendar.  :wink:

team grumpy's response? well, the response was so harsh i had to mod my own post.

team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post
