Love em or hate em I own a Brabus Smart forfour...177+ bhp (fitted performance filter to cure its breathing problems)and like many other brabus owners am awaiting some clever dick to crack the ECU for more insanity...It is immence fun to drive and I have no chicken lines on my tyres, It also has a 440watt Mutant audio system fitted...And if I win the lottery again I would buy the new SBR @216 BHP version.

I find myself thinking that's quite a cool car; different, probably shifts quite well etc...
But then im drawn to the 'interesting' sticker on the front! (and the back for that matter) and I cant help but think it looks bloody daft. Sorry

sorry, all due respect and each to there own but...
brabus or not mate its a girls car, even the tv ad had girls tripping over their shopping etc, and the manufacturers website (the brabus section aswell) has a bright pink background to it.
if you enjoy driving it, then good on ya. Its just not where my 10k would have gone thats all...

i think for such a small car with well over 150bhp should be fun to drive.interior looks pretty cool to.incedently you dont mention your age..you may wonder why i ask.but if you of younger years or new driver i reckon you chose well ..much prefer it to usual choice of corsa.saxo etc..dont reckon its a car someone of a more senior age would look right in..if you are of the higher age....for gods sake part ex for sl 600 brabus..

Wonder what the depreciation is like on these ?
Horride, you could really push a dealer into a great deal but still a year later be screwed on depreciation

I had the mis-fortune one time of being given one of those as a rental car (not a Brabus, a regular for-Four). Nasty cheap interior does not descibe how nasty and cheap the interior is.
The revised interior and power does make the brabus feel very different to a bog std model, but the only issue i would have is the low 20's mpg you get in these things!!!
As others have said i personally would loose the stickers but i do like the brabus, even if its not a proper smart
