Post Phil, all the Phils! Yes, my car is named after Phil/Phil from the movie. Why? Because I’m probably going to be buying smarts until the end of time...until the day someone breaks me out of the cycle. ;)

I refuse to believe your car is named after anything but this:

Are you going to be like a crazy cat lady but with Smarts?

I cannot confirm nor deny this. ;)

I can tell you one thing though, my dream garage is so a retired airliner. :D

what kind of magic did Mercedes do to make this little Smart feel so open, please explain

Plane house/ garage would be epic.

And at least Smarts don’t take up too much space?

A number of little things that are easy to miss! Firstly, the car is tall-ish with a high-ish seat height (you actually sit level with some crossovers/vans). Add to that, the interior space is configured for maximum passenger volume first, cargo second. Pretty much 80% of the car’s length is for the two passengers.

The car was pretty much configured to have SUV-like passenger room (a high roof, steep slope windscreen, high seats, deep footwell, etc) amplified by either a clear roof or a convertible top.

Next time you see a smart, find one with a solid roof, it’s crazy how much a clear roof/convertible top makes a difference in how big a smart feels. :)

Despite my mixed bag of experiences with a 451, I still want to buy or lease a 453 someday.

A 453 seems like much of the same quirks, just with less stuff breaking. :) That said, mine’s spent more time being parked then driving, so I can’t tell you for sure!
