2008 smart fortwo - city coupe Passion review from North America
"2008 Smart Passion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A minor door rattle. Dealer tightened the door hinge in less than an hour.
Suggestion: Diesel for the U.S. market.
General comments?
The 1.0 liter 3 cylinder mid engine powertrain is quite peppy. Ergonomics are more for city driving, however the little Smart held the road quite well at 95 mph. See my video of the smart car on the test track www.autooracle.com
