The following is a road test extract

From inside, you don't feel that you're driving a dinky little 8ft-long car. The passenger sits a few inches behind the driver and the cabin spaciousness makes it seem more like a mini MPV than a two-seater sportscar. It doesn't pitch forwards and backwards anything like as much as you would expect, and even the ride quality is better than the average hot hatch.

Come to a corner and, after last year's front suspension improvements, the handling is noticeably better than the early LHD Smarts. Eventually, though, you do encounter serious understeer and a sort of hopping effect, which is hardly surprising with 145/65 tyres on the front and 175/55s on the back. Amazingly, the wheels are a full 15 inches in diameter.
