I know looks wise there butt ugly and on par with a Citroen C15 van. I was out in a Brabus (sp?)yesterday and it didn't seem that bad although it felt slow as hell after been in an ML Brabus 4.8 or something like that, but then so would most things.

Are they actually any good?

They do 100mph as standard I think, the Brabus is 101bhp

I test drove one and loved it... Kinda wish I bought it too!

smart recon they made a loss on every roadster built due to the massive repairs carried out under warranty,hence they only make the fortwo and forfour now, tho saying that if you buy a used roadster now then all the problems should have been repaired.
