Journalists like me constantly moan. Not enough money. Not enough time. Too many deadlines. Yada, yada, yada.

But sometimes life isn’t all bad – like when we go on trips. Such as this one to Barcelona last weekend. As I openly admit in this article I’m a bit of a smart car fan boy having owned one for the last 10 years. But I’ve got to say that the two new ones are superb, especially the forfour.

I definitely want to get one but will probably wait until the automatic comes out next summer because it’s easier for city driving. I quite like the goldy/green coloured one too and the bottom of this post. It’s very unusual.

(By the way look at how all these cars are all perfectly lined up at Barcelona’s wonderfully named El Prat Airport. It’s like someone’s been out there with a tape measure. That person was almost certainly German because if it was a Brit you would be lucky to find the cars facing the right way, let alone lined up!)
