For a vehicle intended to be a city car, the low speed shifts as everybody would mention are painfully slow and ill-timed. That being said, in the current car market, finding something with heat and A/C that works for under 4000 dollars and it gets OK fuel mileage. Cargo area is easy to access with the lift gate and tailgate, and itll hold a surprising amount. Feb 05, 2022

I really like this car. I am 90 years old & have to learn how to drive the smart but it’s really worth it. The seat is high which makes it easy to get in and out. The hatchback also Is much handier & easier on your back. It’s a cool little car especially for seniors Aug 25, 2021

This smart is a great deal for the mileage it had on it. Not to mention the price is great. The reason I want to go from an SUV to a 2 seater like the smart car is because of the gas Id save. 39 mpg on the highway is awesome. Plus when I got into a smart fortwo I couldnt believe how roomy it is. And cute. Also made by Benz so the paint job is wonderful. I love love this one. Second choice was the fiat pop car. But the smarties is my favorite. Top off in summer and warm cozy in winter. Has so many great features I cant list them all. Try for yourself.Oct 09, 2020

The convertible top allows you to carry long items. I never worry about moving the car from a parking spot since I know I will always find another one. Freedom of moving around without the hassle. Super low gas usage.Sep 27, 2014

Horse power sucks and transmission sucks! Very very very basic car for very very basic functions. Good car for a teen's first/starter car. Not meant for moderate driving and i do not advise highway or bridge driving normal cars passing you by will blow you into the next lane if not careful.Sep 10, 2014

I wanted a small car. I wanted a car that is easy on gas. I wanted a car that I would like looking at in my driveway.I wanted a car that other people would like looking at. My 2009 Smart fortwo is all of the above. Car gurus .com was a great help when looking for a car.Aug 09, 2014

Never let me down and always ready for fun. Easy to maintain and great on gas. Surprising on just how much you can fit inside, especially with passenger side fold down seat. The car also did better then most front wheel drive cars in the snow.Nov 15, 2013

perfect car for NYC, great alt to taking cabs/subway, always can find parking. If you can get over the horrible transmission and don't do too much highway driving (max 2 hours) it's a great little city car. If you shift it manually you get a much smoother experience, not sure what they were thinking when they produced the transmission!!Oct 25, 2013

After 37,500 miles, I have to say this car has been one of my biggest surprises. I bought it because I'm cheap and I liked the fuel economy, but hated to give up all the creature comforts. But this little car had legroom, and lots of options. I thought I'd probably not like the little car, but I was willing to make the sacrifice. But the car has won me over. It's surprisingly roomy, easy to own, even fun to drive. I love the power-convertible roof, the heated seats, the sound system. I've owned 25 or 30 cars, from M3's to Grand Wagonners, Sentras to 300D's. This is the only car that has surprised me, other than the M3. Both were a lot better than I thought they could be.Dec 12, 2011

I don't even know where to start with this car. When I tested this car all I
wanted to do was to see what all of the hype was. Everyone that I talked to
that owned one of these cars said that they were the best things they've ever
been in. All I can say is I don't know what's wrong with them because this was
the worst car i have ever drove in my life. If we were in a large crowded city
then this interview would be totally different, but where I drove this car most
of the roads i was on was motor ways. The car that I drove was a Pure model
which is a nice way of saying it cheap with nothing in it. When they were
building this car they stripped everything unnecessary to keep it cheap and
lightweight, but i think that they went a little to far with this. With a car these
days there are just things that should be standard on a car and power steering
is one of them, and i don't think Mercedes-Benz got the memo on that one.
When accelerating in this car the only way to star relatively comfortable is by
hardly touching the gas pedal because when you do go hard on the pedal the
shifting is absolutely horrid. Using the clutch-less manual transmission shifting is
supposed to be made smoother but in the Fourtwo you go flying forward and
then flying backwards every time. Another thing that is horrible in this car is the
top speed. 144 km/h is higher than any speed limit that I have seen but still we
all know people dont go the speed limit. And if your in a hurry or trying to
overtake someone this car just wont cut it. The interior on this car was just
hideous. Although one good thing about this car is that there is a lot of room in
the cabin as the result of no boot. But the color choices are ugly and
everything was made from cheap products. The exterior styling of the Fourtwo
isn't much better than the interior. It's ugly, made from cheap materials, and
the panels just fall off. Feb 09, 2011

Pros:
Economical
Great for daily commutes
A zippy little car
Does well in the highway
Great gas mileage
Automated Manual Transmission
Computer does the clutching in manual mode. The computer does the
gearshifting and clutching in automated mode)
Easy to maintain
Well built, extremely solid cabin
Dent resistant exterior
Double rollcage (There are two pipes one inside the other for
durability)
Extremely small parking spaces are not a problem
Bumper-to-bumper traffic are not a problem
Very small turning radius
Does well with sharp turns
Low center of gravity
Many performance upgrades are available via aftermarket
Turbo upgrade is available for it
Cons:
Needs more POWER! Even after that..needs more!
Scared to drive it at first, but once you are used to it, the fear goes
away.

smart fortwo BRABUS - pretty good performance for a
city car. And small enough to fit in every gap. Always
park right in front of the place you want to go to.
Consumption of Gas is another plus - it is so cheap to
drive oneMar 21, 2010

Perfect for getting around even if there is only two seats.Reliable up to date with gadget.Best car for a first time buyer. Exellant mileage. If you get a dent all you do it quickly and easily change the panel at the nearest garage. It is great for those small space so you can laugh at your friend who had to park up the road because the space was to small. I would highly recommend this to anybody be it a first time buyer or a parent.Aug 19, 2009

Broke down a ton! Used the smart for marketing purposes for work. 3 cylinders just arent enough. At one point, I had to smash the shifter as hard as i could to put it into drive! At least it was a convertible!Aug 06, 2009

Fun and functional, surprisingly spacious and safe, affordable and economical, colorful and customizable, easy to park in small spaces, good gas mileage, standard features are impressive, and additional options like heated leather seats are under a thousand dollars extra, plus loads of smart accessories to choose from, great deal!Jun 19, 2009

Just picked up the car yesterday. Unfortunately, I did not test drive. Reserved, came in and purchased. Have 90 miles and it is the worst car I have ever driven. Been driving since 1976. Transmission is awful. The suspension is even worse. With options and PA sales tax paid $19,500. Worst vehicle investment I ever made. You feel like you just got beat up after driving this car. Ever drive a go-cart? If so, this is exactly how the ride feels. Only the go-cart feels better because you are on a smooth track. I sure hope I can sell this in the spring. Seems like many purchasers are trying to sell. Jan 19, 2009

My 2009 smart 4/2 Passion is starting to sag in the rear like the coil springs are collapsing. Does anyone make air bags for this car so I can inflate them enough to make the tires level again.
Is there an adjustment to get the tires flat on the road service again?
