Smart Roadster

Mighty Midget sets the pulse racing

Look out Lotus - you're about to be out-Smarted! If our first drive of next year's MCC Smart Roadster is anything to go by, the Norfolk-based manufacturer should sit up and take notice, for here's a real Elise rival for less than half the price.

FIRST OPINION

    If future Smart models are as good as the Roadster, the marque could become a major budget brand. Yet despite low prices, the Mercedes parentage still remains, with great engineering and build quality. This two-seater is lots of fun and cool as well, so it's set to become a roaring success.
