smart fortwo - city coupe Reviews from Sweden

Nothing has broken so far, it has been working great!

The engine is really small, but it's a small car too, it has OK performance, works great in town and on the freeway with the six-geared tranny, really awesome fuel economy.

The suspension isn't really the best. That, combined with such short distance between the front and real wheels = bumpy ride on bumpy roads, but it's quite comfortable on good roads and on the freeway.

It can get a bit loud in the car on the freeway, you can hear the wind quite a bit, and the engine sounds a bit loud too, but it has OK speakers, so that's no problem really.

Nothing.

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 :)
