Oh yeah. The Ford Street Ka. What a long lived classic that turned out to be.

Michele Newman, the reporter, was on Top Gear from 1993 to 1998. She also presented ITV car program 'Pulling Power'. For that reason I don't think it's Top Gear, also at around 4:05 when she says later in the program there's a brief glimpse of a rotating logo which is not Top Gear but does look like two 'P's rotating and could be Puling Power's badge?

+Ali Grant It is Pulling Power indeed. Aired in early 2003, just after the car was presented to the international press in Algarve, Portugal.

Love the Smart Roadster. A great driving experience for the price of a cheap family hatchback...

Tengo uno de 82 Cv y quizás para correr habrá muchos coches mejores. Pero para disfrute y sensaciones. No hay nada igual. Lo mejor son esas sensaciones que ofrece de que pones el coche a 80/90 y te sientes como en un superdeportivo de alta gama al doble de lo que circulas .

Atrocious gear change. There's a place reserved in hell for whoever designed that gearbox.

Yimello I drove a citroen c1 or whatever it was. Similar 1 clutch auto gear system, but felt alot worse.

Which model? Cause the 61hp is quicker than the fourtwo gearbox,the 82 even quicker than that,brabus version even better,not to mention that the company handed out an electronic update to further improve the shifting responsiveness.

I think that is really nice. I wish it was brought to the US. I would have bought one. I am hoping there is a new one and brought to the US. I think the Michalak C7 could be a replacement for the roadster. It would be neat to be able to buy the kit and turn my Smart Fortwo Passion into the sporty little vehicle.

+Jørgen Fløan (Crikaxs) As a roadster owner, i can say no. It's expensive to insure (was the same price as a 1.8 litre coupe to insure) and it is a bit prone to electrical problems and leaks. Ideal 2nd car I think.

everybody is complaining about the gearbox...Not even the Top Gear guys got an lesson how to drive it...Its semi/half automatic gearbox which means you drive it like a clutch car but without it...so think like you drive an manual car and you will get fast gearchanging.
