I don't know whether some of you already told her but YOU CAN REMOVE THE TWO PARTS ABOVE THE WINDOWS an put them into the parts-holder in the hatch door (at least in the original German version of the car). So they are gone too! And after lowering the sidewindows you actually have a full convertible car.
Google for smart convertible and you'll see it.
Plus it has an amazing MPG ratio and a 5 star crash rating in NCAP.
I've also had a Brabus coupe for the past two and a half years, and also love it. Don't really think she has a complete understanding of the transmission though, otherwise it probably wouldn't be that much of an issue. It's called an automated manual transmission because it IS a manual transmission. Benefits of a manual transmission, coupled with the ease of use of an automatic.
I just wish some people would get over the view of Smart's being death traps. Hearing that gets old real fast.
Thats the coolest kitchen ive ever seen!

The best personal review on the Smart i have ever seen.

Blimey according to this video the Toyota Prius starts at $22,000.
Well here in the Uk the cheapest Prius is just over £20,000 almost double the price of the Smart.
Comparing the Prius with the Smart in the Uk is not fair due to the massive price difference compared to the Us.

Its not a computer that operates the gearbox but a very complex electrically operated gearbox.
The gearbox actually looks like a normal manual box but all the gears are operated by an electrical motor.
This is why in automatic mode the gearchanges can be a bit ponderous at times.

@lilchuber18 Well no, it's not a true manual. But it has a clutch (Automatics don't have those).
That's why it's called an "Automated Manual" - It's a manual transmission that has a computer do the shifting.
It's a hybrid in a way. You can't call it an Automatic but you can't call it a manual!
