The GF has one and as gay as they maybe there actually quite fun to drive and there really good on juice.

The only drawback is they're hitty missy with the roofs and some leak quite badly.

The gearbox is a bit jerky in auto but in sequential semi auto mode its pretty good.

Shes had hers from new (06) and done 26k without any mechanical issues at all and she drives like a loon.

:agree: Spot on. ive sold these things when i worked at merc. almost ALL the roofs leak so look out for that. otherwise, they are a good drive. yep, its a chain. they drive better semi auto than auto - you have the choice.

(i resent the comment they are an estate agents car though ;):laugh: )

all parts still available through merc/smart.

i wouldnt buy one without a full merc/smart history.
