1999 smart fortwo - city coupe Passion review from Sweden

"Fun, comfortable, economic, summer car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

General comments?

Very nice little car. A car to be in love with.

Spacious cabin, good ergonomics, high tech.

Good comfort, I have never come across a more comfortable seat in a car. Can be a little bit wiggly on bumpy roads. Surprisingly good on highways, take overs at 90km/h are no problems.

The only bad things I have to say about this car is that it's a bit noisy. And of course, it's lethal behavior on winter roads.

I was driving happily along a winter road near Christmas 2001 when the car went sideways because some wheel tracks in the road surface. It was - 24 degrees Celsius, a bit icy and I was driving at 90km/h when I skidded of the road.

Not a nice experience, rolled over about three times before the car stood still. Every glass surface was demolished even the glass roof shattered. But I was OK, the cars safety design worked as it was supposed to do. I shut off the engine, opened my safety belt, opened the door and stepped out shaken, but not stirred. I had a minor cut on my ear, that was it.

I've learned a good lesson, not jolly, but good. You are never as good a driver as you think you are. When a car looses it's grip you are a passenger on a journey to disaster.

Have a nice day :)
