2005 smart fortwo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Performance: 0.7 Turbo not exactly fast but feels it. Brakes feel a bit wooden but work efficently, handles ok, front tires run out of grip qite quickly. Build Quality: 0.7 better than the 0.6 but engine wise not as reliable as it should be. The rest of it is all good. Appearance: Very nice, especially with the top down. Cost of Ownership: Very good on Fuel and cheap insurence. Fun Factor: Brilliant fun, one of the best cars I have owned.Oct 10, 2010

The perfect commuter car or first car for a teenager, this car is small, fuel economical, and easy to park. The interior's surprisingly spacious for a car only 8 feet long, with luggage space for lots of groceries-- or your golf clubs. It's loaded with safety features, rates similar to a Mercedes C-class (it's made by Mercedes), uses a different approach than most cars (ie doesn't rely on crumple zones!). It's rather fun to drive, particularly with the top down (I have a cabrio). It's engine is tiny, and horsepower is low by modern standards, but don't let the numbers fool you-- while it won't win any drag races, it's perfectly happy on urban streets or major highways. And many "smarties" get as high as 100 mpg (or as low as 3.4 L/100 km). While not for everyone, it's something more people should consider. After all, why drive more car than you need? Jan 04, 2008
