Hi to all!
Having recently been fortunate enough to take advantage of the new purchase contract deals from Smart, I have now acquired a black Brabus For Four. I have to say I am delighted with the car….the best I have ever owned. I had originally dismissed them, (altho I thought they looked cool) as a plastic ‘toy’, but after my girlfriend bought a roadster, I had the opportunity to look at them up close. My interest was sufficiently aroused to organise a test drive, after which I was hooked. I tried the 1.5 petrol & diesel models which were great handlers & surprisingly nippy. However, my g/f convinced me to go for a Brabus…..u only live once!!!!
Initial impressions are of general solidity, superb handling & build quality, let down by a few minor quirks: eg positioning of the electric window switches, LCD display & unclear dials,. One guy on the forum complained about his seat kept lowering……I discovered why……the weight in the seat causes the foam to compress which catches the height adjustment lever pushing it down. I took mine off & ground about ¼” off so it misses now!
One thing I would like to do is fit some air horns. The current horn is pathetic & embarrassing, & not in keeping with the rest of the car. Unfortunately, the front has to be removed to get to it, & I cant for the life of me figure it out! If anyone knows how to do this, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
