Smart #1 Real World Review - what's smart and what's not about this family EV (+ Brabus version). In this episode Jonny Smith shares the facts and his opinions of the 273-mile Smart #1 electric family car after over 3000 miles driving. He also has a spin in the 3.9 second 0-62 Brabus version. It's now more Mercedes than quirky city car, but is that a bad thing?
