The MB dealer gave me one when I had my E55 in for service. What a total piece of crap. You drive the car with the throttle in either on or off position. The automatic transmission actual gets off the power completly when shifting gears. It does this so slowly that it feels like you are driving with someone that just learned how to drive a stick shift. Handling??? If you even want to call it that. :lol:

i drove a smart fortwo once. good idea for a car but a horrible car to live with. its a great urban commuter especially for parking. but dont expect too much from the car because it wont bring it. almost better than walking. and the fuel mileage isnt ground breaking.

that car is a total bummer

That's an expensive mod for just 3 seconds off the 1/4 mile time and slightly higher trap speed.

Hang on, let me get this straight: You bring in your merc for some service and as a loaner they give you a Smart???!!!

Dude, that's just plain mean.

Edmunds Inside Line was nice enough to post a follow-up test with the electric Smart Car with a "Raptor tow" mod:

At the time of day I brought the car in that's all they had left on loaners. At first I bitched than figured what the hell.
