Little CDI

Yes, we got the Smart 800cc CDI version now in Canada. Most people are claiming they are able to achieve fuel mileage of 4.5Ltr./100Km.

3-lug wheels, you don't see that everyday. It looks pretty fun.

There a really fun to drive. In fact, I have been addicted to driving our Smart and leaving the C55 as a garage queen for now.

Here's our Smart Passion coupe with a lot of Brabus components thrown in.

How safe are they?

Looks like if you got hit it would just start to roll and cartwheel and keep on rolling!


Looks like a great car for pure urban use. Just watch out for the SUV's and taxi cabs! WEAR A HELMET!



Is the AMG on the license plate just a conincidence, or is 787cc the size of the motor?
