Choose either from
Pure - bottom of range
Pulse - Sporty range
Passion - Luxury range

All have 600cc turbo'd engine. Old models (00-01) had 50-60 bhp. (02-03) models had around 61+ bhp. More than your average 1.2 8v

Ride is ok, but you can really hear the engine.

>>some mods available for Smart>>

Been out in one (as a passenger), feels like you're in a bus or something, feels really dodgy when cornering fast!

84bhp would be alright, considering it weighs fuck all! Presumably getting it chipped means it will be de-limited speed wise too?

a mate of mine is involved in the smart club...ive driven his bottom of the range one... it feels really weird @ 1st coz they dont have power steering, but once you get used to it they are a good laugh. Nice and nippy but all are restricted to 87mph as standard. Fun to have a go in but i wouldnt want one.

NeilsC 1.4 ???
