How is that a manufacturer can make many improvements to their latest incarnation of the Smart Car yet screw up on not retaining the better bits from the earlier design.
Overall the new Brabus is a much better drive over the old. In truth if I had to use the new car daily I could live with it...

The wife got a "smart repair" done on the rear bumper, to remove a couple of scratches.
Went to wash the car today, to find this :-
Looks like a complete lack of pigments in places, looked ok on the day the work was done (Wednesday).
Spread over a 2' area on the rear bumper.

Does anyone know how to set the clock on a 05 Smart fourfour ?
There's no little knob/dial thingys on the dashboard to do it.....
I've had one as loan (Warrenty re-spray) - and it's really surprised me. It handles, it goes, it dosen't use fuel. And it only has the 1.1 hair-dryer engine...
First of all a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you all.
Kerry's Smart 4 2 is 4 years old and has racked up 48,000 miles. I've ordered a new Fiat 500 for her, due Feb or March time but we are undecided what to do with the Smart.
