Smart Brabus roadster!!! 
Mate is thinking of buying one so we went over and have a drive.He has already had a go and was raving about the thing 
So i did the decent thing and went over for a blast..
699cc turbo engine at 1.4 bar of boost 0-60 in 9.8secs..101bhp..BUT
This car is a BLAST!!!! So low to the ground and has manuel,automatic AND paddle shift.The manuel is like a rally car shift too.Feels really quick on the road! ESC and ABS.Handles like a dream.
Drawback is the car is 16K new  He might get the demonstrator for 14.5K though which is nice

I think they are rather shit
Girl at work has one - build quality not up to much and they are nothing sepcial for that price tag
As said the handling is pretty good but the roof leaks all the time and she has had loads of trouble with it

Pure sex that. Been in love with it for quite some time. Now just need to do a bank job to get the 16k for it 
Wonder how much insurance will be with a .6 CC

Yeah insurance is well steep  They said he had to be 25 at first (he's 24)but seeing as he was an existing customer they would let him off.
Looks nice BTW Mav
You can chip the normal roadster from 80 bhp to 101 for £300! Nice

I used to sell them
Love them, one of the best handling cars most people will have the benefit to drive, very very easily tuned. I think i was one of the first people in the uk to blow the turbo on one
red one in the picture was the one i broke

My mate has the Brabus upright convertible one, chipped to some stupid levels of boost. It sticks with a lot of stuff and sounds awesome on full tilt. Xenons, heated leather and nav to. Nice little car.
