      I know someone who had one with the Toyota badge on it - never gave her a moments bother, and suited her down to the ground for commuting etc. Wee bit light and underpowered for motorway work (part of the reason she traded up was that she moved to a new area and her commute then took in motorway driving), but other than that a cracking wee car, and cheap to run too.

      Hope you have many happy miles in yours :)

        New car is automatic, prefer them to manual, better if you have to stop on a hill!! :heehee: Sold the Smart car as only being able to take one passenger became unpractical. At the moment I have a Suzuki splash, but the new car is smaller and even cheaper to run. A friend of mine said that I have owned more cars than the Top Gear team!!! :rofllol:
