2008 smart fortwo passion cabrio
350 miles for about $22 and lots of looks. It has a lot of pick up and can go about 95 miles per hour but handleing is more like a shopping cart than a car. I just wish my family of 4 could all ride in it together. I like to drop the top at any speed.
Pros —
Gas Mileage and Fun Factor
Cons —
Capacity and Handling

| “Smart For Two”

2008 smart fortwo passion
I love this car! It's absolutely amazing and it makes me smile every time I see it. It's wonderful for scooting around town and definitely catches people's attention! :) I love it!!!!! :) It's in the lowest road tax bracket, number 2 for insurance and gets around 50mpg (at least) so it's easy on the wallet. The new model has been made much more sturdy than the previous one and has been given a bit more of a Mercedes look and feel in the interior. And you'd be surprised how spacious it is! It sounds silly but it is quite roomy inside. And the boot can actually fit one large and one small suitcase. Not bad for a super(super) mini! Can you tell I love it! ; -)
Pros —
Fun to drive, makes me smile, and easy on petrol
Cons —
Doesn't have the best pick up but I don't care! :)

| “Very Sleek And Easy On The Wallet!” Reviewing:
2008 smart fortwo passion
Extra small doesn't mean unsafe. $11,500 gets you into the most fuel efficient gas only car on the market. I have driven this car 3 times and am now in line for it. Very nice. This is not a sports car. This is a city commuter. Its a bit slow to start, but is fast enough for highway use. Rated 35-40mpg, but some have reported 50+mpg. Great for anyone. Im 5ft 8 inches 150lbs, and fit nicely with my large girlfriend. There are videos of taller and larger people fitting nicely. The transmission is an automated manual. That means no clutch for stop and go traffic. It also has a sequential shifter, so you don't have to worry about which gear it is in, just up or down. It has a light on the gauge that tells you when to shift for maximum mpg. This is a lovely car, so dont knock it before you try it
Pros —
Unexpectedly roomy interior, Maneuverability, Turning circle, Iconic styling, Slick convertible-top operation
Cons —
High-speed stability, Limited cargo capacity, Rock-hard brakes, Unrefined auto-manual transmission, No cheaper than other small cars, Premium fuel recommended

| “Amazing Car Compared To What It Looks” Reviewing:
2008 smart fortwo passion cabrio
The smart fortwo is a very nice car. It's interior, unlike it's exterior, is quite roomy. It's amazingly fast for a 3 cylinder bike motor. It needs work in the transmission department, as shifting, in auto or manual, as both are available, is very drawn out, and clangy.
Pros —
Wicked acceleration, not terrible on the streets
Cons —
Shifting is awkward, not for high performance cornerring
|
| “Nice Car” nice car, cleverly built, stylish, and customizable
Pros —
gas mileage
Cons —
shifts slow
