something... different.
Discussion
My daughter had one, although she's now moved onto a Z3
My wife has a soft top one on a 06 plate, they are amazing fun to drive around town, very economical, and on one occasion I even did a service call to Southampton (from Worcester) in it.
Definately a town car, which is what it was designed for.
Just keep an eye on the oil level, they are meant to use some, and only hold about two and a half litres when full !
The only other problem we've had was the abs rings on the rear of my daughters, everyone (garages) said that they couldn't be changed, and you'd need new driveshafts @ £750 each, but I'd seen the rings for sale on fleabay, at £6.50 each, and it cost £150 to have a machanic fit them.
Some possibly useful sites for you, Good luck

the abs needs checking and will keep a eye on the oil.
it is just something to go to work every now and then and for my wife to use when she needs.

A guy i used to work with had a Brabus Smart with tinted windows
he used to take it on long journey and being a bit of a tit arse used to bring a sleeping bag and sleep in the back of it.
was a bit of a running joke in the office
I am quite small but even so i have to ask... how? he used to take it on long journey and being a bit of a tit arse used to bring a sleeping bag and sleep in the back of it.
was a bit of a running joke in the office

There is no 'back'.
There is actually, you'd be surprised at how much it can carry ...... I was.There is no 'back'.
My wife can do a monthly shop for us (family of five), without an issue.
I wouldn't however suggest using it as a tent !
My one major complaint is the height of the drivers seat, it is too high, and due to the construction cannot be lowered.
I drove an all options ticked, turbo one(quite rare as I understand) from London to Cork. Felt like an occasion everytime i drove it. People looked at me like i was an absolute tit(they wouldn't be too wrong), but i still enjoyed it. The three cyclinders do sound half alright, especially at full chat.
