You'll love your smart: it handles a bit like the beetle, but much better; it requires the same attention as a motorbike, but you've got the roof, the AC, the heat, the comfort... And FUN IT IS!
Welcome.

For you I recomend the Cabrio. Open top like the Gold Wing but you dont have to pull under the overpass to put on your rain gear. The top opens and closes at any speed.
