  • Smart Roadsters also have 55MPG

    not so mini now are you lol

  • Most smart roadster have an electric roof that comes off at any speed.

  • check other tubes comparing both on a road course

    the BASE MINI WALKED IT

  • its the only Cabrio that is a mini. Learn your history m8 lol its not the original mini cabrio lmao what about the original minis

  • thanks man for that fuckin idiot

  • I agree 100%, it may be a bit slow, but still fun to drive with.

    Too bad US smarts don't have factory turbo, but I guess aftermarket has that covered.

  • even when the gearbox is that slow, i'd never replace it with a manual. the car has so much torque thanks the turbocharger, and even more when it goes in overboost, that's 100% fun and the ferrari-style sequential transmission makes it the perfect toy, remaining one of the cheapest cars in the market. Everyone that was in a roadster thinks it has minimum a 2liter engine.

  • I got 8 seconds from an UK owner with a stock one. He must have really pushed it.

    Realistically if the smart (fortwo & roadster) had a quicker tranny then it might just get to 60 in 8 seconds. But that shift (it's just a tad faster in the fortwos that had the free tranny flash upgrade) takes nearly a second, times that by 4 and yeah, there goes the 12.8 seconds.

    But an automatic would weigh it down and kill the mileage, but a true manual would be a disadvantage to those seeking convenience

  • the timings are officially from 10,7-11,x, but this belongs to a stock 82/101 2003 roadster. the reason why it takes so much, is that they really messed it up with the gears. Imagine, changing a gear can take up near a second and to reach 60, yo have to change 4 gears. Now there are some updates that makes this much faster, but still...i think 8 second is a reality when the car is chip-tuned up to 115hp

  • Okay, I checked it out. All same size engines, yet more power.

    Still, the 101hp would do 060 in about 8 seconds.
