The 1st of class: Sub-compact

[Pistoles]

This week i wrote many post about the choice of 1st of class from the Guide de l'Auto on the french forum. We ask us to do the samething in english. I try it... and excuses my english...

What is your choice between ?

[The General]

Pistoles, you are the man!

I chose the Echo, more specifically the H/B. Great fun to drive for very little money.

I also like the Accent. The fortwo was cool also. I will be driving it again in the next few weeks.

Ditto for the Echo, although I'd love to take a spin in a fortwo. I'm jealous, General!

Bienvenue, Pistoles! :)

[woohoo!]

I agree, the Echo is an excellent value and has bulletproof reliability. I'd take one with the leopard skin, like in the TV ads! haha

i love my echo hb. i test drove the accent a few times. it seems ok.

[woohoo!]

Having driven General's Fortwo test car, with it's riding mower acceleration and NVH, it's at the BOTTOM of this list in my opinion...!

Sorry General! ;-)

[AU6I]

i would pick the smart fourtwo... lovely car... they should have made it manual though....

Sorry General! ;-)

NVH? 'scuse my ignorance. :?

[AU6I]

yeah, what is that?

[Laspalmas]

Noise/Vibration/Harshness index :wink:

[woohoo!]

Noise, Vibration, Harshness, that's right! The Fortwo's got all that!! ;-)

[The General]

Dude, the smart was the most involving, although noisy and a little harsh, most fun I have ever had behind the wheel of any car. You certainly would not want to drive long distances in the smart but to and fro between work and home was a blast and CHEAP!!

I am dying to try it again.
