Overview & Reviews

The Smart Fortwo is an all-new brand and model in the United States for 2008, sold at a select number of United Auto Group and Mercedes-Benz dealerships across the country.

• Sips fuel, can be parked almost anywhere, zippy around-town handling, surprisingly accommodating interior, attention-getting styling.

• Herky-jerky automanual transmission, pricey compared to larger subcompact cars, awkward floor-mounted brake pedal, not suited for highway travel.

  First review - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Slowpitcher - January 4 - 10:36 pm

  I brought a new 1959 Volkswagen back from Germany in 1959. This car reminds me of the 1959 Volkswagen. It performs better than you think it could and people wonder what it is. I cant believe how well it handles on the highway. I really like the way the transmission operates. I expected poor performance but if you know how to drive this car you will be happy with it. I had only 37 HP with the Volkswagen while this car has 70 or so. I was extremely pleased with the Smart dealership in Orlando.

  The Start of Smart - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Kliegmite - December 27 - 11:46 pm

  I first saw Smart in Rome. I was convinced that it would be hot in America. Now that I own the Americanized version, it is clear - this car will be Hot in the USA. Solid, Reliable, Convenient, comfortable, practical, attractive, interesting, and it keeps up with the rest in a respectable way. Smart is here. Finally. A truly innovative car in the US market. Once it starts marketing to the young crowd - look out. Its the next fad. Beyond the VW.

  Think Outside the Box - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Red Fred - November 1 - 12:13 pm

  Bought for our daughter who is 15 so that she can learn to drive and take it to college. I drive it now almost every day and will miss it when she gets her license. Solid, practical, great handling, efficient, peppy car to drive

  What a great car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Baldman - October 29 - 3:33 am

  This is the most fun I have had with a new car. It is extremely roomy and feels bigger than it really is. Super fun driving in the city. You get many waves and looks and be ready to spend a lot of time talking about it when you go out.

  Orphan Car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Beach Auto - October 26 - 2:43 pm

  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.

  This is a neat car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Dr Eric - October 21 - 7:13 pm

  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!

  What a great big little car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By JOHN - October 1 - 5:30 pm

  The Smart Fortwo, what a great (big) little car. I picked up my smart car and drove it from Michigan to Minnesota. What a delight! Putting some miles on the car on the first day was so much fun. This car handles well and is so spacious inside. I was really happy with my purchase.

  So Far SO Good - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By jimdboat - August 26 - 2:33 am

  Weve had the car for about a month so its hard to tell you how it will hold up with NYC driving conditions but from what Ive experienced so far, it is an incredibly well designed vehicle for what it was intended for, local and medium ranges driving. Ive had it up to 80mph on the HWY and it handles very well. I love the paddle shifters and the dealer has taken great care of us so far. Glad we purchased it.

  Little Red SmartCar (driving in MN) - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Pappy704 - July 19 - 10:43 am

  I had never touched a Smart before getting my little red convertible. I am 6 4" and was concerned about fitting in a little car. I was extremely pleased with the tremendous amount of room in the cabin. My knees comfortably fit under the dash. My wife had to laugh once she got in. The ride with the top open is fantastic. I was amazed with the headroom with the top closed. The mileage has been terrific in town where I regularly get 41 mpg. I had to chuckle with my first fill up of 3 gallons after my 1st 130 miles. The car drives well on the highway and over distances. My foot got a little heavy on a highway and I opened it up to 95. Its a great commuter car and a ball on the weekends
