2005 smart fortwo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

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?

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.

nice and reliable vehicle. great in the winter and super on ice. cool after market accessories such as rear push bars front push bars and internal butons. the only isue is it has a slow Acceleration. but with a mod chip isnt so bad. perfect car for some one who drives alot. it gets 450k to a 20l tank.

Get 50 mile per gallon in Town

Very good seating, rough over bumps, nice city car
