I noticed on here the other day a comment about Smart cars not being up to motorway driving. I hired one a couple of months ago to go to an event in Rugby from London and I was quite satisfied with it's ability to go up the motorway (as long as you're happy sticking at 70-80!). Anyroadup; it got me thinking about possibly getting one for the commute round the NCR to work (34 miles a day, at all times of the day) as a replacement for the bike, as it's not a bad little car once you get used to those funny gears it has. Does the FOAK have any idea of the long term longevity of these things? Being me, I wouldn't want to buy a new one and I don't want to get one with 60k on the clock to find that they all fall apart at 60001. There seem to be quite a few early ones about, which suggest it's not that bad, but then it might just be girlies doing a couple of miles a week.
