Finally its at "CASA"
Got it delivered yesterday, and what can I say....I'm very happy with this car, love the engine sound, LOVE the power of the engine, although I'm running in the engine (all I have went up to is 3.000rpm), GREAT F1 PADDLES GEARCHANGE feeling !!!, specially when you stop accelerating-then change gear with paddle-and return accelerating, doing this gearchanges are quite quick, that was a surprise for me !!! 
IMO, its vital ordering the pulse version, so like this it comes with the sport steering wheel(better look, ok, much better look, and more thick+f1 paddles)...the tyres are quite wide for such a car, therefore it handles quite good...
Today went to work with the Smart, and forgot how easily you get the car into small places, is just a pleasure going to work
Overall, right now I'm VERY happy with the new smart and this engine version, its a quick car, I would say is 4 times quicker than my previous smart with 45bhp....and untill 1.500kms more will not explore how the engine runs at high revvs, so go and figure how this little car will go !!!!
While I was driving it back home, I was just saying myself how FUN FACTOR this car is, with the f1 paddles feeling, this engine version+ sound+how it handles, its like a little go-kart, I can see myself every day returning with a smile, even more when I finish the running in phase !!!
Oh by the way, mine comes with a/c, 6cd charger (which I didnt knew), and mp3 compatible....quite important for me
I definately feel this engine is much better than the 71bhp (which was quite good when I test-drove it), you can feel the difference from the very first km you drive !!!...
Got the car with 7kms , now it has 50kms ....may be its time to change the engine for this high-mileage!!!
Here are some pics, definately will keep the car for a year - year and a half, or so,when our country exits this CRISIS!!!!!!.... and then see what good options I have, something in the line of a VW Golf R32, Civic Type R....
