Smiling in my Smart

Review

Although we had some reservations about buying a Smart car, now that we have owned it for 3 months there are no regrets. It is fun to drive, comfortable for two large people, and provides a reason for all of those who see it on the road a reason to smile. We can fit groceries for a week for two in the back compartment, as long as it isn't a Costco trip with large bundles of paper and cleaning supplies. The gas mileage is OK, 33-38 mpg with mostly in town driving, but it is so much fun to drive and pass the big land yachts that are so prevalent in Naples Florida.

Favorite Features

Easy in and out, good visibility, comfortable seats, good gas mileage.

Suggested Improvements

Make it electric.

Review

I received my Smart Cabriolet after a 12 mo. wait. It is worth every minute of the wait. Fun, fuel efficient and cute as a lady bug. The convertible feature is cool in that the top can be taken down or put up while driving at any speed. The stereo is great for such a small car. I put myself and a buddy, (both 200# plus) and accelerated 0 to 60 in two blocks, not bad for a care that gets 40 mpg in town and 50 hwy. If you have a chance to drive one, I recommend it and if you can buy one, do it. They are getting harder and harder to find.

Favorite Features

Cab.top, fuel efficiency, space, handling

Suggested Improvements

arm rest, reduce the blind spots

Passion ForTwo

2008 smart fortwo passion 2dr Hatchback (1.0L 3cyl 5AM)

Review

I'm on day three and am absolutely loving driving my passion coupe. I like that it's roomy, pretty comfortable and just a lot of fun. It turns head and sparks conversations all over the place and it's been great to meet people that would simply go about their business if I was in my Impala (another wonderful car!)

Favorite Features

1) $32 fill-up of Premium gas 2) Aux jack for my ipod, 3) turn signal lane change

Suggested Improvements

Power port that stays on when the car is off! cruise control, better basic radio (at least a couple of additional speakers), clock in radio instead of dash display

Review

Fun to drive. Suspension a little stiff on rough roads. Some road noise. Would like to see access door on rear floor panel to check oil more easily. Also a right side armrest, cruise control and tilt wheel. I really like this car and may buy another one.

Favorite Features

It's just a fun car.

Suggested Improvements

Review

I've had many cars but never one this fun. It's a hoot to drive, the build quality is excellent, and the mileage is unmatched. I've waited for this car since the mid-90's, and it was well worth the wait!

Favorite Features

Convertible top, the dashboard pods, the huge interior, unique and distinctive design

Suggested Improvements

Needs cruise control and a bit more storage room

Review

Great little car about town, no big deal on long journeys either. Real head turner. Superb economy with a mix of urban and open road driving. Lots of space for all the shopping. So much fun and easy to park it's an amazing little car. On the negative side - a little racy with the price

Review

We have been very impressed with this car, if there is a draw back we have not found it. Performing well in all conditions, Most driving is on the city streets of Daytona but it works well on highway as well. It will travel at 70 very nicely, seeing a truck that close behind you can be a bit unnerving at first!

Favorite Features

just zipping around town

Suggested Improvements

non so far it works as is.
