I caught this Smart Brabus when I was in Paris last year.

Love the wheels.

I dont think you can really see from my pic's but its badged as Brabus in several places.

Reasons I bought my smart:
- mpg savings for my 20-mile commute
- novelty (first year US model)
- and like you, an "around town" car (shopping, movies, fast-food).

As Buell mentioned, there are certain connotations and assumptions that go with "SMALL" cars. The safety and MPG are the biggest.

I say that some people may be disappointed if they expect much more from a smart than what it really is. A small, fun, gas-saving, novelty car.
So to all the naysayers, about it being "too small, not enough HP, not enough people/cargo room" and all that other stuff, they are basically barking up the wrong tree, and this is not the car for them.

I think they're comparing the smart too much to a MATRIX or FIT or something that caters to a whole different mind-set.

That's all.
I think we (you, I, Buell) are all on the same sheet of music.

Thanks for your explanation. As you've said, I'm on the same page. This is a 3rd car for me, and purely a toy car. I just think it's a cool car

hallo,
sorry I did not reply to your post sooner. I have moved to Stuttgart, Germany and have not posted much on this forum since last November.

I am not too sure I understand your question. I do not have the GARMIN smart Navi. The picture was given to me by Mr. Wiedermann. He lives in Austria. I need to go to the smart Center in Böblingen, and see if these are available. The problem now, is that I live in Germany, but my smart car is back in the USA. I would love to find the GARMIN Navi that has the smart logo on it, and if compatible with the new US version smart, take it back with me, when I return to the USA in a few years.

I don't know what the model number is, but hopefully the smart Center in Böblingen can help me.

Hi there.....fellow smart owner HERE!

Am I the only one that finds it interesting that so many 'non-smart' car owners comment on the 'safety' of the smart with statements such as 'I wouldn't be caught dead in one' and 'doesn't look very safe at 70 mph' yet they have no problem jumping on a motorcycle and traveling at least that fast and maybe faster with NO protection what so ever?
