Our smart fortwo

2013 smart fortwo passion cabriolet 2dr Convertible (1.0L 3cyl 5AM)
I purchased this car to tow behind my Motorhome. It is really a hoot to drive. It handles very well and holds the road like glue. The brakes stop very well. And the steering is nice and firm.
2013 Smart Fortwo 62kw Cabrio: The Best Car Ever

2013 smart fortwo passion cabriolet 2dr Convertible (1.0L 3cyl 5AM)
There is no car like my 2013 Smart Fortwo 62kw Cabrio 84hp; from engineering technology to comfort and performance. Owned from Mercedes 200 Sedan and Nissan Pathfinder to Hummer One and Chrysler long-wheel-base Voyager BUT my greatest joy has been with this 2013 Smart Fortwo 62kw Cabrio. The car is a breeze and immense pleasure to drive; especially, in automatic; best way to enjoy it. … Accelerates and leaves all cars behind, at traffic lights take-off, because of the Turbo. At 6.2ft tall, the comfort room is unbelievable with a passenger of same height and bigger. I don't get the advertised mileage; just 340kms for the 33-litre tank capacity; averaging 10kms per litre. But, who cares? Consumption is still comparatively low for the performance pleasure. These days, the Smart Fortwo [1st and 2nd Generation] are the ONLY cars, to my mind, that are easily identifiable. All other cars, except a few makes, look-alike, until you check the Logos. The 3rd Generation looks more like a Renault, until you check the Logo. Prefer the 1st and 2nd Generation. A wonderful car to own. Always looking for excuse to drive it. On the road, the other big cars [Adults] often wonder what this small car [Kid] is doing on the road, like the road is no place for it; until you leave them behind, at traffic lights take-off. Understand that the 52 kw 70hp has same performance, with aspirated engine; yet to drive one. Either way, the Smart Fortwo, is it. Easy to maintain. Change oil as much as possible for smoother engine sound and ride. When I start the car, in the mornings, I don't rev. I, just, let it get to the number ONE, on the idle-speed, indicator on the dash-board counter. It may take about two minutes; and, you will notice and hear the difference in engine sound from kick-start to idle-speed. Like all things in life, look after it and it will look after you. I don't plan on another car. The children can bring the long-wheel-base Chrysler Voyager if they want our family of seven to move in one go or block.. The Smart Fortwo is a Statement car, Impeccable taste and Attention grabber. The only car in a gathering that the ladies and children will remember and talk about when they get home; at the envy of the men folks with huge cars who expected to be the admired and attention-getters.. Better a small car and big brain than a big car with little or no brain, at all. Big is not always better. I can write about Smart Fortwo, ad infinitum, But take my word for it. A wonderfully engineered car. Love it or hate it. Forgive any typo errors.
Should have been flushed along time ago

Girls think its "cute" only because their boyfriends inform them that its really a pile of crap wrapped in a poorly snapped together plastic body [non-permissible content removed].This "CAR" makes you think it was the model car you snapped together in your youth. But trulley in comparison your plastic model was much better built than this the item your future wife plans on taking those … summer night cruises up to make out point in. Yes, I too was once fooled by the thoughts of cheap car insurance (ha ha ha $600 yr) ,great mpg (ha ha ha 25-28mpg) , no dents or scratches always a shiny exterior (ha ha ha plastic "MELTS" and scratches it does and you cant buff them out), most of all thoughts that my piers would be proud of me for making such an economical and responsible choice in my pick of go to a and b and back cars..... hummmmm now crying wishing I'ld got that VW bug insted :*( (my piers laugh at me every time I try to drive by but mostly while I'm waiting on the tow truck so I can get to my 2nd Job at the greasy burger shop (to pay this plastic turd off and flush it once and for all). Please I beage of you if your spouse is considering this mistake please just walk them down memory lane (yupperz the recycling center at the local dump) here you'll find most "DUMBAZZ KARZ" starting their new lives (or where they should had always been) as a Shiny new dash pad of a VW BUG!!!!!

I have a Smart 4/2 on a 58 plate, I have had this car for a year now, and apart from slight problems with the actuator this car has done me proud, I live in Somerset and have taken trips North and West, in fact in a year i have taken this car from 93000 miles to 97000 miles.
With a wife diagnosed with Dementia getting her out and about keeps her very happy, and the car having a nice … canvass roof, she can enjoy the sunshine in the summer without the drafts.
Today I am happy to say, that I have bought a newer car, but the same make, just a bit younger and with a lot less miles on the clock, the new car is a 2013 with echo drive and satnav, and we cannot wait until next week when we can pick up our car and enjoy its qualities.
These cars are very safe, I have driven in snow, no skids, i have taken corners a little too fast not knowing the road, and the car sticks to the road very well, no skids, no tipping over, but again with the safety cage, I know that in a bad situation, both the wife and I would be able to walk away with just a few bruises.
When it comes to a two person car I totally recommend the Smart Car. Yes you will find problems, but you will find problems with any car, its just a case of finding a good garage in your area that is happy to help, just make sure they know the Smart car, not like me who found a garage who said they would do a full service on my car then told me that they had only ever done one before and told me that my car needed 6 spark plugs.
Please don't be put off by the size of the Smart, inside it is great for two people with loads of room
I take the wife's walker trolly when we go out, and as for shopping, I can take a 6 pack of water, 5 bottles of milk, and 4 full shopping bags of shopping all in the boot without any problem. As for the roof, this can be pushed back by a switch and if it rains while driving, a touch of the switch will close the roof even at 70 miles an hour. A great car for winter and summer.
