I’m very happy with how the process went from my initial inquiry to after my car was delivered. Once I had made my selection online, I received a friendly phone call from Rory Turner, who was extremely knowledgeable about my car and the whole process, and he talked me through the necessary documents for the finance, etc. Rory sent regular updates on the progress of my application. It was an easy and pleasant experience. Great to deal with a real person!

Smart’s transition from city car creators to premium electric vehicle proponents is more or less complete, with the #1 and #5 receiving solid reviews. But the #3 is a slightly tougher sell, with its coupe-esque shape and rounded, friendly design cues that make it something of a niche within a niche. Nevertheless, Mercedes-Benz-backed Smart is bullish about the car’s prospects, and hopes it can compete with the best in its class.
It’s a tough job for any car, with rivals from the likes of Volvo, Kia and Genesis all in the mix, along with other big names such as Lexus and Alfa Romeo. But Smart reckons it can compete, and the evidence of the #1 and #5 suggests there are good reasons for that. The #1 shows great promise, and the #5 is a really strong electric SUV, so it stands to reason that the #3 will have many of the same qualities. But is that how things pan out, or will the Smart feel like a bit-part or an oddball in such elevated company?
