I purchased my Smart ForTwo Passion convertible in September 2009 and I haven't stopped grinning yet! I've gone from being a Smart car hater to a Smart car lover. Yes it has it's quirks (no power steering, poor acceleration in automatic mode, interior mists up quickly) but it's so much fun to drive. The only thing I would say, is if you're thinking of buying a convertible, make sure you get a suitable roof cover as once the fabric gets wet the interior windows remain almost constantly wet!
I love my little car and couldn't recommend it highly enough if you're not too worried about speed and want something different and funky!

I own a Smart Pulse on an 02 plate and it is undoubtedly the best car I have owned to date.
Fuel economy: I commute about 40 miles a day, so 200 miles a week and I have cut my fuel bill in half. I fill the car up with about £16 of unleaded fuel (at time of writing petrol = 89.9p/litre) and that is enough to cover those 200 miles. So a monthly bill on fuel of between £60-70! which is fantastic.
Reliability: no real problems in six months, one thing was a split fuel filter which I do not really want to count as that is general wear and tear.
I find the drive to be good in general. However, I am a little apprehensive in windy conditions as you can really feel cross-winds in the car.
Services are expensive - around £300 for a B service with Smart. Managed to get a B service with an independent for about £230 and that was with K&N air filter fitted instead of the standard, so it would be cheaper still if a standard filter had been used.
