    car advice

    I'm looking to buy a new car and my bloke is trying to persuade me to get a 4-door SMART car.
    Does anyone have one ??, or know whether they are any good ??

    I want a small funky 4-door which has enough room to accomodate my little girl and all the associated paraphernalia. Any recommendations ??

    i wouldn't fancy being in a smart car if it had a crash at anything more than 30mph, there just doesn't seem to be enough space between you and the impact object for comfort

    So the diesel SMART car i was thinking of buying wouldn't be your first choice then ???:D

    The 4-door version is a normal size though, it's not one of the daft tiny ones ... but seeing as i'm not hearing anything good i might go for something else .....

    2 door matchbox like - even if it was a VW...
