They appeal to uber-yuppies trolling places like say...Kiara... influencing chicks with their cute-looking panda cars.

Hahaha.... good one, I like this statement of yours. :wink: hahaha...

Sorry funfer_fahrer, but I would even disagree with E46F that it's heavily weighted on reliability. It's not heavily weighted towards, it's ENTIRELY about reliability and problems and fixability. Witness astroboy's post above Perhaps you should rephrase the 'notes' to get the criteria you want polled, eg happiness with one's ride.

Happiness to some is being problem-free, but happiness to others is other things about the car. Eg, a car being problem-free is not high on my scale of happiness...and that's why I haven't voted.

No harm done bro. Thanks for your input.

I rode in JPB's Smartfour4 and, it's quite fun for a while, as its zippy and cute. But then it gets tiring, and its also noisy and harsh and will get on your nerves in an extended drive. In fact even the Jazz is more complaint and more insulated compared to the Smart.

You're gonna miss your E90 325i sport for sure hehe.

I have a Smart ForFour at home, 1.5L version. I've been using it for more than a year. The first time I drove it when I was in Italy. Very impressed with the fuel consumption. I promised myself to get one when I reached KL. So, I am now a proud owner of the 1.5L version. Thinking of upgrading to Brabus soon. Even if with the stock standard 1.5 version I managed to chase a very "lansi" E200 W211 driver on the North south highway. Mind you, the 0 to century figure is sub 10 secs. It can clock 200km/hr with ease. I don't think Honda Jazz can do this. Managed to scare the sh*t out of the Merc driver. Despite its size and some cabin noise, the ForFour handling was damn good. Can take corners at high speed. It has a proper 6 speed transmission unlike some Japs car that claimed it has 7 speed but in actual fact it was just some CVT stuff. When I get my Brabus conversion in place, to all the Merc drivers, be scared, be very very scared.

I can bet u will hit climax when u r alone with your E90 on KL-Cyberjaya highway after mid-night yah..

Same here.. that's why I put "satisfy" despite having a leaky power steering pump for a 4 months old car.. :stupid:

Look at keeekeee's vote lagi best. His 4 month old E60 stall in the middle of the road and need to tow back to SC, and took couple of days to fix without a courtesy car, yet he still put "somewhat satisfy". If its from a Camry owner, he would have picked "extremely unsatisfied"..

Like doing it with a stranger without your rubber... very exciting! Do know if you r the next to kena and masuk workshop or not.. syiok !! :top:

"New car no need to masuk workshop ah?" Seems BMW owner has accepted this FACT of BMW ownership..

i put somewhat becoz i thought it was a minor problem and can be solved. but it wasnt and it happend again later on. i did mention if it happen again then i will vote very unsatisfied. Unfortunately it really damn happen again. Now I want my money back and go for other brands. already done what i have to ... now only waiting for the result. hopefully i dun need to waste my time to fight it over the court.

Yeah the Jazz will struggle to even hit 200 Km/h but even after 170 it feels pretty scary as the car floats. Definitely a city car instead of a highway cruiser. However, the 0-60 mp/h sprint leveraging the CVT is impressive (~8+ sec performance).

Had a few stop light drags and it's held on pretty well even against BMWs
