Seems when you leave a Maybach and GTC unattended you end up with this little baby Brabus Smart car. I know I know your asking me Katie why did you get a Smart car. Well the husband has this plan when he soon retires to buy a Semi tractor and a big fifth wheel and travel in it. The smart car will sit on the back of the Semi tractor rite behind the cab.

So whats it like to get in a Smart car after driving one of the other cars? Well I can say one this it does not take very long to forget your driving this tiny car since the cab is pretty roomy, perhaps more so than my GTC. This is the last version of the Smart before they stopped selling them and it has a dual clutch transmission which is sooo much better than the horrid trans of the previous generation. All in all its not that bad a car if your going to carry it on back of a semi tractor. Smiles.

So thought you all would find it kind of funny that this girl with these two really nice cars also owns a Smart car.

Looks great. Was the Brabus treatment a factory option, or was it done by you or a previous owner? Cool stuff!

The Brabus was a factory option. It did not entail very much. You got a trans with a sport shifting just for the Brabus. A slightly lower suspension, and bigger wheels. Thats about all that It included as far as I have learned.

Glad they improved the transmission. I drove a couple of them and the lag between first and second would send you into the steering wheel.

Is it zippy. Well its not the Maybach and certainly NOT the GTC but with that said it does pretty well. In many ways its better driving and more agreeable car than the GLA crap loners I have gotten in the past.
