Full Test: 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion
Smart's Fortwo is a tiny car in a big country where enormous SUVs rule the road. We find out how well it works, included fully instrumented test data. Go ahead, try not to smile.
I've driven in some older models (1999 or sth)
they don't really need more power
but def better interior...the old smart's interior was shabby and cheap
but I heard the new ones are better
That is a very interesting car. I think I need a bit more power
+1 I think it would be a good little city car, but I would NEVER take it on the freeway. It would be suicide with the way people drive and what they are driving.

it's really quick up to about 40 mph it'll beat most cars actually
btw Nick that's the old smart model the new one sold in the states now has an even higher Euro NCAP crash rating
it's so safe because of the patented Trition safety cell. A buddy of my dad once crashed with his 90s Golf convertible into a Smart at about 50 kph. Smart driver walked away with a scrath on the hand while the Golf driver was taken to Hospital with a severly fractured leg (broken 9 times)
but in the end the smart is of course not the safest car and I wouldn't want to drive it in the States where in a crash the "opponent" car will weigh about 3-4 times more
