2002 smart fortwo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

For a small car she is very nippy around town. Great for parking in small spaces. fuel cost is low, can last just over a week on £10. Lots of fun to drive, every time you go out in it people look and smile! just put some eyelashes on mine now so we get loooked at even more!! The interior of the smart car is alot bigger than you think when you look at it from the outside, seats are really comfy and you are a little higher up so you have a good view of the road.

Ofcourse, not much can be expected from a 600cc 3cyl engine in a car, but the turbo makes it suprisingly rapid. The tiny stock front tires make it understear horribly in high speed corners, but i fitted the smart with 215/ZR Pirelli sport tires so thats no problem. Its still the funniest car i've ever driven, not the best, but at least its not boring :).Jul 13, 2009

I got my car last year. It is honestly the most fun car i have ever owned! The acceleration is great, with its 600cc turbo engine. When driven carfully i can get about 70mpg. The 6-speed semi-auto gearbox is a bit slow, which affects performance. Its electroniclly limited to 85mph, for saftey. It handle's quite good when its dry but not too good in the wet. The ABS cuts in a bit too soon and you can't turn off the ESP.Jul 20, 2008

Never underestimate the smart. Although they are small on the outside, they have plenty of room inside with plenty of legroom for a six footer. The boot is usable too with enough room for a reasonable shop. Performance isn't brilliant but then again they aren't designed for that however there are plenty of things to tweak to get a bit more power from the 599cc engine. One of the best things about the smart and smart ownership is the sense of community. Much like with Beetles and Minis, there are numerous clubs for smarts all round the country. Feb 06, 2008
