Light and lively to drive, it delivers a distinctive sports car feel in a small package – all while promising low running costs and top-down fun. Produced from 2003 to 2007, the Smart Roadster is designed to put the joy of driving within easy reach. Popular for its playful handling and low-slung design, it has a big personality among small convertibles. It shares much of its engineering with the original Smart city car, swapping city practicality for open-top thrills with a dash of sports car essence. Focused on rear-wheel drive, lightweight construction and a three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine, it is lighter and more eager in corners compared to rivals like the Mazda MX-5 and Daihatsu Copen. Today, it is defined by its frugal nature, easy parking, and unmistakable style.
