So… I drove one of these for 2 years. It was legitimately the worst car I’ve ever driven BY FAR. why you ask?

Maybe it’s the ridiculously slow transmission that takes a few SECONDS to shift. Turning at a light when traffic is coming? Just wait a while as it shifts down for you.

Maybe it’s the fucking rough as hell ride. I drove my wife’s dad in my smart car on the highway once. He thought something was wrong with the car because every time you hit a tiny bump, it feels like the car is going up break apart.

Maybe it’s the horrible build quality. The entire outside of the car is made of plastic panels supposedly making it easier to repair, but guess what? They’re so shitty and cheap the when I was driving on the highway, the hood came flying off (which, by the way is held on by a canvas strap. Think I’m joking? Google it) so this shitty plastic hood still attached to the body by a piece of fabric was blocking my view and I had to slam on the brakes to avoid driving into oncoming traffic and fucking dying.

Maybe it’s because of the horrendous inconvenience of having the 3 cylinder engine in the back. Oh, it’s on the back, so there’s a trunk on the front? NO, THERE’S NOT! THAT WOULD MAKE TOO MUCH SENSE. The trunk is in the back above the engine. Ok, so how do you get to the engine? You take everything out of the trunk, lift up a carpet panel, take your hex screw driver and remove 4 screws. You then realize the battery is not there… So what’s that you say? It’s under the passengers floorboard? So you ask your passenger to get out, move his seat back, remove the floor mat, lift up the carpet, pull up a panel, remove the styrofoam pieces holding the Jack and tire iron (for the spare tire that does not exist in this car) and then you can finally boost the car. What’s that? You need to add wiper fluid? You go to the front, pop 2 clips open, lift up the plastic hood, but if course you can’t remove it, that would be ridiculous because as stated before, it’s attached with a piece of canvas, so you try to rest it on the windshield only to have it fall on your hands while you’re filling the fluids.

Maybe it’s the super shitty wheels that for some fucked up reason will freeze in the winter so you have 3 wheels moving, but the 4th won’t. You have to hit it with someone so it will move. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to get it towed to some place warm for it to thaw.

Maybe it’s the fact that despite claiming to be an economic option, the engine REQUIRES premium. So you’re sacrificing your dignity to save some gas money and you have yo use premium?? That makes a lot of fucking sense. Did I mention it’s a Mercedes? So you’ll have to get it repaired every month anyways, so it’s not very economical, is it??

FUCK THIS CAR.
