Having been bitten by the Smart bug, i fancy moving up to a ForTwo Brabus.
If anyone owns one here, is the power difference noticeable? Unless i've read it wrong there is only 27 bhp between the 2008 1.0 i have and the turbocharged Brabus.
Also are the later gearboxes any better? It's the worst aspect of this car bar none, incredibly slow and hesitant, although i am trying a transmission oil change this week to see if it helps at all.
Oh one last thing, are seat covers to fit this car available anywhere? I tried some universals and they were a terrible fit.
