Was it at least the current gen? Supposedly they suck slightly less donkey dick.

>>14609519
Yea it was a new one. I'm moving from an 2012 Audi S5, so it's going to be a massive change.

I've just moved 5 mins away from work and park in a packed car park, sick of coming back to lines on the side of my car where people have walked passed. and really don't have the chance to appreicate the S5 anymore, so I thought I'll try this on for size.

The new one has a much better DSG and the ride is actually pretty good.

Dumbass. Should've gotten an electric car or just ride a bike.
>>
>>14609715
I live in the UK where it pisses down with rain pretty much every day.

Getting an electric car is ties my hands as it then means I can't do the occasional longer trip.

You're not very smart are you?

>>14609731
No it doesn't. With the money you save on gas you can just rent a car.
>>
>>14609851
That's no hassle at all. Don't you ever do something spontanious, do you expect OP to plan ahead and rent a car just because you think having an electric car is better? Stop being so autistic.

IMO I'd rather have a petrol car over electric.

OP, I don't agree with what you've done. But then again you're posting on a car enthusiasts board so what did you expect.

And the cars you can rent will be much better suited for long travel than a smart.

Are you so broke that 10 miles of gas a day was hurting? Ffs

>>14609989
No, but I got pissed off than I didn't really get a chance to open up with my S5, especially in the summer when I work a lot more. It became frustrating so I decided that I'd redirect the money I was spending on the car elsewhere.

I hadn't considered a smaller car until I saw the new Smart fortwo, it looks pretty quirky so I took the plunge.

Will I regret it? That's yet to be seen. Delivery in April.

I'm defintely not getting an electric car. Going to a car rental place when I need one for long journeys is rediculous.

Why even bother with electric? Also, I didn't get the Smart for it's efficiency, I got it for it's quirkyness.

I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like to live with.

You bought the best but still overpriced mini car, also it's a renault basically.

It's much smaller and gets worse gas mileage than a Honda Fit...

The Honda Jazz doesn't look as good.

I think the smart has an uggo monster face tbqh pham

>>14610158
Yes you'll regret it. It's a terrible shitbox on the highway. Everyone will say "look at that faggot in his tiny car". You're going to ruin the engine too. It'll never get to operating temperature and since you'll never open it up carbon will get caked on the valves because direct injection.

It's the worst choice you could've made.

>>14609512

So you came out of the closet.

Don't even have to import, cappuccinos and copens were sold new in the UK.

Modern smart car isn't RR anymore, so you can't even do that
