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.

  Mercedes Should be embarrassed! - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By scott - September 6 - 1:43 am

  What a shame! Great concept - horrible car to drive. I have 5 drivers in my house and after the initial novelty period passed, no one wants to take this car. It drives so poorly. I wont drive it anymore as its jerky ride makes me wish I has an air sickness bag in the car. Gas mileage is disappointing, car is woefully underpowered and the silly transmission should cause me to get my money back under the lemon law, the dealer keeps saying that it is supposed to work the way it works. Shame on Mercedes. I feel bad that a company like them has to be affiliated with such a joke of an overpriced car. I cant wait to sell it to some hyped up fool who falls for this scam of a car!

  Great car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By jessebkaye - August 12 - 2:41 am

  I just downsized from a huge full size sedan to the fortwo and I couldnt be happier. It may be a bit utilitarian in its features but its worth saving $500 a month in gas, is easy to find a space and helps keep life simple. Well worth the purchase, despite the funny looks people give. Im 62 and its surprisingly spacious.

  Passion ForTwo - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Jonathon - August 1 - 9:33 am

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

  I love it!!! - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Rick3bears - July 25 - 10:40 am

  I drive 102 miles daily on my commute. Backroads and Interstate. My little bumblebee (yellow and black) takes it all in stride. I buzz along the interstate at 75+ with no problems and tootle down the backroads in fine style. I have talked to dozens of people about the car, given away a dozen brochures and extolled the virtues of Smart driving to anyone who would listen. Im a big guy 63" 250 and have plenty of room.

  Love my car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Jaq - July 11 - 4:03 pm

  The car is fun to drive, handles well in the corners and in traffic it is very nimble. Interior is comfortable and when you keep in mind what the car is designed for it meets all the criteria very well. Fuel economy is basically how well you control the right foot. Need to adjust to limited space.

  Gouged by dealer of love car - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Lexe Payne - June 4 - 12:10 am

  I find out after the fact that the dealer misrepresented the cost of accessories and pocketed a lot of extra money. The car is wonderful to drive and is extremely comfortable and easy to get in and out of. The quality of the car is extremely good considering the cost. It is the old VW bug mentality with a 20th century need for speed and room and comfort.

  This Much Fun Should Be Illegal - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Smart Enuf - May 31 - 9:23 pm

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

  smart fortwo passion - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Brutus Buckeye - May 24 - 8:30 am

  Driving this car is a lot of fun and you get lots of inquisitive looks! There are only about 20 in the whole state so far so it is turning a lot of heads. For such a small car it has a decent ride and a bit of pep!

  Ordering Number Two - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Smart in Indy - May 22 - 9:03 pm

  Gas mileage better than estimated 50 plus on highway. Good timing to cut gas expenses. Great fun! Easy to drive! Lots of attention and questions! Everyone comments that there is much more room than they thought! Makes me smile every day I drive! 33 SMART cars racing around the Indy 500 track!

  motor light up - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By roberto - May 17 - 6:13 pm

  The car is fun and economical but I have had the car for 38 days and I have to send five time to the dealer for problems about the motor light up all the time. It is economical and saves gas but you have to spend more time in the dealer. They have to put a record for that or the smart is not ready for U.S.A.
