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.

  better than you think it would be - 2008 Smart fortwo

  This car is amazing, my fuel cost is average $13.00 every two weeks and the maintenance is so minimal I keep thinking I am missing an oil change. Once a year service and oil change, quality construction and materials and a convertible with heated seats is a huge plus.

  What a fun car to drive & to own, people are always asking questions about it whenever we stop to fill up or to go shopping. And while driving there are folks waving and giving thumbs up and smiling at us. I cant think of any car that I have owned in the past that has drawn this much attention, its just so much fun and a ball to drive at that.

  Cant beat the fun - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Rmichael - August 27 - 7:13 pm

  This is a great car, fun to drive, a pleasure to fill up (once and a while) at the pump, and a pleasure to own. Its very roomy inside, it fits me perfectly. It drives like a manual trans even in automatic and I love it.

  My little red mobile - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By bbuddha - May 18 - 2:00 pm

  I almost got side swiped going 65. My smart dodged the other car without being out of control. Thats when I could sense Mercedes technology was in this car. For a micro car, it is superbly made. The car started to drive even better when I reached the 2,000 mile mark. My partner is 6 foot 4, and he rides comfortably in the passenger seat. I am more satisfied than I thought I would be.

  Comfort - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Kate - May 1 - 5:23 pm

  This was to be my husbands car. I have a Toyota Highlander because low passenger cars are difficult for me to get into because I have bad knees. But I drove it for a day until he sold his truck, then another day, then he wondered why the FOR SALE sign kept disappearing from his truck! I LOVE IT! We compared and the seat is almost as high as the Highlander! It is very easy to get in and out of for me. A review we read said that it was built higher than Hondas and Camrys. It will be a very sad parting after a week of zipping around the town with our big Golden Retriever "Cruzer" riding shotgun! He thinks everyone is looking at him so he is a proud guy too.

  Thought they would never get here! - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Hal - April 18 - 9:20 pm

  Started driving them in Europe over 7 years ago and they were a delight, cute , very maneuverable, and fit in all the very small places in Rome,Paris, and London. Tried immediately to buy one (they were 60,000 lire/$6000 US in Rome) when I first tried. They would not sell me stating that the U.S. would not allow me to import them. My wife and I ordered one each in late 2007 and they arrived in May and July 2008. They are a delight to drive and have plenty of pep, a delight to merge onto the freeway and can easily go 90 mph or higher if some SUV gets testy and aggressive. They are very safe & stable weighing in at more than a ton, have ABS and ESP, 4 airbags & a 5+ crash rating. Go for it!

  the little car that could and does - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By mcasdc - March 21 - 7:13 pm

  Wanna be really popular - get one! Its an automatic smile generator plus easy to park, good gas mileage for city use. It isnt a BMW so dont expect that type of performance. Quick starts and at one week ownership - gas mileage looking great. Beats the gas hog MBenz that I was driving and required $65 to fill up after giving me 20 miles per gal.

  Super Fun - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Super Smart - February 28 - 12:53 am

  Come on! People are comparing this car to a restored 85 civic for fuel economy. It may be true that the civic gets better mileage but how much fun is a 1985 civic to drive? I first saw this car in Italy and could not wait to get one. I have seen, studied, drove and read all the available info. This car is designed well and is fun! Sure, it could use better gas mileage, a smoother transmission and longer warranty , but what car is absolutely perfect at this price level? As stated: "The smile factor" is what makes this car a pleasure to own. This will be a second runabout vehicle for me in the city. Cant wait to get mine.

  My Smart Car Picachu - 2008 Smart fortwo
  By Kurt - February 23 - 12:03 pm

  I fell in love with the look in Rome, so as soon as I found it was coming to America I signed up for one. This is one of my best decisions ever. Actually I love to drive it in the Highway, the only thing this car lacks is cruise control. People love to look at it, and it certainly brings smiles to peoples faces. Love my Smart.
