After having to sell our Motorhome and looking round for used/nearly new Smart cars have decided to push the boat out and buy a new one. got local Merc dealer near enough to a broker price and bought a new Prime Premium plus with all the toys...Its a lovely drive far nicer then earlier models. power steering, better suspension from Merc C Compact latest 6 speed gertag auto real nice so much better then earlier, navigation, leather, cruise etc...etc.. fully loaded. pick it up Friday:)

The idea is if I can buy another van in the future I'll tow this on a folding trailer....

No way! I've bought/sold enough in the last couple of months to last me a life time! I like the old style.

Who me or the car???? :LOL:

Eddie's new toy is quite heavy compared to the previous model so I think he should call it 'pudding' ... aka 'black pudding' ... ek-e-thump! :D

U.S. photo as they have no legal towing capacity in UK/EU . In the U.S it also has no towing capacity ,or installed points to fit a tow bar, but they just fit their own. Obviously not illegal to do it.

The 450 models and earlier versions (model range to the end of 2007) were not built to tow however I believe the 451 models can tow light weight trailers up to 450kg, not sure about the new 453 versions.

Ordered a Smart Fourfor automatic to replace wife's IQ in January, delivery not until June as there is a limited supply of automatic gearboxes. Had a demo over 2 days and was quite impressed with the build quality and reasonably quick with the turbo engined version.

I was going to get turbo but reviews not as good as non turbo. This definitely more then enough punch.... in sport setting it shifts believe you me:)
