Love my smart fortwo

This vehicle fits anywhere yet feels like a regular size car on the inside. The 5 speed manual turbo charged powertrain is quick and fun to drive! This car is a work of art and a conversation piece everywhere you go in it. Perfect for everyday use. Looking forward to many journeys in my new smart for two!

Big improvement

We owned a Smart Fortwo for 10 years, and decided we wanted another one when it was time. The 2016 is lightyears ahead of the 2008 we had owned. Transmission is now powerful and seamlessly shifts gears, whereas the 2008 was clunky nad slow. The body redesign is sporty, and the interior is a bit more spacious. Our only critique would be the cup holders are awkwardly placed in front of the AC controls, and are too small to accommodate a good sized drink. This is probably due to its European origins.

Love My Car

I had a 2009 Smart Car for 8 years - definitely needed an upgrade. The 2016 is great. Power steering makes it so much easy to drive. Can't feel the road bumps as much as I did with my old car. The digital screen is a great look and easy to use. The radio is exceptional. Bluetooth is always a plus. As you can tell - I love my little car.

2014 Smart Car, Awesome in Every way

I've had my 2014 Smart Car for 2 weeks & I'm really enjoying it. On my first tank of gas I got 37.2 mpg. Very reliable & comfortable to drive...Driver sitting area feels like a full size car. I don't realize how small it is until I get out. So, I've very pleased with the car.

as for me, it really was a smart choice.

Fun, reliable, affordable, safe, I feel great when I'm driving this little car. It's as fun to drive as my 59 vw bug.

Funny-looking yet spacial, speedy auto

I bought the Mercedes Smart because she made me laugh; I learned that she is spacious on the inside, speedy and solid on the highway, and a whiz to park.

Quality kept me coming back

I've been a Smart owner since 2009. I still drive my original Smart and it is still the same after all these years. This is what led me to get a 2nd Smart. Everything has improved and the car still turns heads after all these years. I've driven Acuras, Fords, and Hondas... They have all broken down in quality after 3 years. Smart is the only vehicle that has stood the test of time. Quality has kept me coming back and if the new vehicle does the same, I'll keep getting Smart cars.
