2008 smart fortwo pure Reviews

My grandpa recently got a Smart Car. I drive my grandparents to doctor appointments and on errands a lot so I driven it fairly often. I like that it is cute, unique, the style of the dash and, of course, the ease of parking! Oh, and the ability to easily turn around in a street without having to maneuver much. The gas mileage is also great I hear (40+ m/gal?). It's easier to run my grandparents around in because it's much easier for them to get in and out of ( compared to my grandpa's Chevy Silverado, which my grandma needs a step ladder to get into). I believe that the Smart Car may actually fit it the back of the truck! The Smart Car is also convenient when dropping them off in front of a building and then going to park. It has heated seats, and is just as spacious as many cars I've driven (in the front anyways). It isn't the best for shopping obviously, although I believe we fit at least 4 paper bags of groceries in the back along with 2-24 packs of pop. An interesting thing about this car is that you are able to drive automatic or manual. For manual, there are buttons on the steering wheel to shift. I don't know how to drive a manual, so I've only used automatic. I don't like how it shifts, and it takes a little longer than I'm used to to get up to speed. The brakes take a little getting used to also. At first it seems like everyone is 'riding your ass' because the back window is so close behind you. It's taken some getting used to. The car 'dings' if the passenger is not wearing their seat belt. It gets annoying but it's definitely effective in getting people to wear their seat belts! Other than that, my only complaint/suggestion would be the have a little more space between the seats. It's pretty fun to drive. I find a lot of people staring, so if you drive one make sure you're not picking your nose!

Smart is the best car for town ever!!!
