My landlord has one of these smart cars that he uses in the city. 6ft 4 but he fits in it somehow and uses it daily, mainly because of fuel consumption and that he can squeeze into any parking spot
Your videos are great. Really enjoy watching them. One comment/suggestion: the voice quality is fine, but the car noises (engine, road, etc) are very distorted until 13:26. Thereafter the car noises are clearly audible. So for future videos, can you please consider using whatever mic/camera/phone you used after 13:26 ? Thanks and keep the content coming!
Thanks for watching and thank you for the feedback. In this (and the previous two videos) we have been using new mics that seem to be ok but ambient sounds aren’t great particularly if the car is fairly noisy. In hindsight I think that in this video I should have just used the iPhones mic and not the Bluetooth ones, like I did in the last portion of the video. Bella was close enough 😂
Interesting and fun video. Its actually fine for a city car if one compares to the likes of todays modern small cars like Picanto etc. Certainly safer if not as driveable. Problem is the pricing would be way higher than those cars if it was still on the market.
Fun, yes. Short wheel base adds to the bumpiness. Obviously, in a firstxworld city, as a virtue-signalling little plaything, it had a place. The automotive equivalent of a paper plate : light and readily disposable. :-) Thanks for the video. _PS: I suspect your W123 200D outperforms this. Certainly outlasts it.
These little cars liven up nicely with a Suzuki Hayabusa conversion
😂 I’m sure they do. Must be scarier than trying to brake an Uno Turbo from 180km/h though…
Hey Tim, such a great report on the little Smart car. A real good demo too. thank you so much for sharing with the world.
Hey Boris, I’m Keyan. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
@@oldmercguy Thank you 😊 for your video 📹 always.
I have owned two city coupes and two roadster coupes wonderful cars !

I drove one it is a comfortable drive.

That was the biggest problem when they were new, there were much better, more usable options out there at the same price. Thank you for watching!
SMART: Swatch Mercedes ART
Yes, I did eventually get it right.
This was let down click bait😂😂😂
😂 😂, to be fair it is a turbo charged 90’s Merc….

I think you’re right, it will. In a lot more comfort too.
When they were launched, I was living in the UK and they presented designs of multistory Smart parking towers they had planned for busy city centres
Nee sies !!!
