There's one in the Exeter Smart Centre. Personally I think that they are £7k overpriced, and the used market will see that. They can't shift then new ones, so to sell a used one would mean discounting it and there went your residuals.

Order the roadster (£500 deposit, launch in summer and £1-3k less than the 'blade depending who you talk to); I nearly did, but decided I'd only end up using the thing if I had it coming, when I'd really have been doing it to speculate.

Having had both a coupe and a cabrio I'd say the 'blade will be slow and handle badly, although it looks amazing and would feel fast.

Evo reckoned the roadster was like a mini 911, which can't be bad.

Utterly fantastic to look at, and utterly awful to use.

Did you not see the report Big Tom did on 5th Gear. I have never seen such a miserable exposed driving position outside of a motorcycle or an Arial Atom.

Complete pose mobile best left for the South of France.

You should try jumping in one and having a spin - an absolute blast - even if it is over-priced and impractical - a total grin machine

Smart Car, I didn't think much of them having seen a few around Aberdeen, but when I was in Rome they made a lot of sense, traffic parking etc, they same would apply in any big city. I looked at the Blade in a Rome showroom and it looked the biz, but the practicality even in a big city would be lost by the lack of security, and being open to the traffic fumes.

My opinion - A very expensive toy - if I buy an expensive toy it will be a Westfield thanks !

Too expensive and, to my mind, bloody useless. If you want a town car, buy a town car that you can use. If you want an open top sports car, buy an open top sports car that actually has some performance....
