the "park anywhere" master....

first bought a SMART companion car when i got rid of my first cayenne for an Ariel Atom and needed something when it rained.. and have had one ever since..

Parks:
-Can park it anywhere
-can drive on sidewalks
-40-50mpg
-old ones top out at 92, new chassis 98mph
-more space than you would expect for luggage and groceries
-entirely covered in "molded in color" plastic that doesn't dent, and scratches the color of the car.
-insurance is 56$ a year
-new chassis has a 11ft turning circle, yes... 11feet!


best of all, the new 2016MY 453 chassis comes turbo and even manual trans if desired, with BRABUS performance chip it add's another 28% horsepower.


Downsides:
-2 seats
-people laugh at your incessantly
-doesnt travel offroad well

As mentioned in my other thread, my i3 lease is up later this year. It's been a fun DD. It's remarkably quick from 0-30. Not sure what will be next but so far I'm looking at a M235i, S3, Mini Cooper Clubman, and maybe a Golf R or Focus RS. I have a reservation for a Model 3 but who knows if and when they will go on sale.

My commuter is a company car. As a result, my DD is a 2006 Toyota Tundra with 32,000 miles.

3 dailies but no beaters....Cooper S, Macan Turbo, C4 GTS Cab. All fun and all chosen on different days depending on mood, weather , etc. GT3 stays in the garage for the weekends.

Very nice!! Tell us more about the Cooper S. Ride, handling, fun, etc. It's on my short list for a city car...

My daily is a 16 WRX 6MT. It's fast enough for public roads and fun, and AWD so perfect for NE winters. I have 2 small kids (1 and 4) so I don't care if they eat snacks or make a mess of the seats and rugs.Attachment 1068655

Thanks. Simple build. 2010 Silverado. CST 4.5" lift spindles, 17" Method Race Wheels, 35" Nitto Grappler tires, replaced all the chrome parts with black.

My old C class is my "beater". I keep wanting to pickup one of the AMG's but then I remind myself that it's going to lose 50% of it's value in 3 years and my current beater only has 25K miles on it... I'm going to hold out as long as I can...

Mines a 2011 Wangler Rubi cause I don't know how to take the doors off of my C4S.. LOL

The beater status alternates between the Touareg TDI and the M235i.
