CONS: attracts too much attention

REVIEW: Will not haul your full size American washing machine but then most places offer delivery. Have lived with the car for a year now and still love it. Nice to be able to get around in reaonable comfort and still not have to pay a lot for gas. Very Happy to have the choice to own ...

CONS: Not family friendly

REVIEW: My fortwo pure is fantastic. Mass transit is great, but there are groceries to buy and other stuff to carry...and let's face it: sometimes you just don't feel like waiting for the train/bus! This little guy is very manueverable. It can squeek in and of traffic - and park on a postage ...

CONS: Rough ride, weird transmission, too much attention.

REVIEW: Had mine 7K miles now. Rides rough, worry about damage on poor roads. Worst problem is transmission. The auto-manual just doesn't work. Car lugs way too much. Needs a new chip or something. I switch to manual but often forget and over rev gears. Otherwise, this car gets AWSOME MPG and ...

CONS: cruise would be nice, longer std warranty would be nice

REVIEW: 7000 miles in 7 months and it is still the most fun to drive vehicle I've owned in the past 30 years! 40+mpg on highway consistently. Short wheelbase is bumpy on some roads, just like a Jeep. Had to lube the shift knob at 10months: 2squirts of WD40 and smooth sailing ever since. Very ...

CONS: Slow transmission takes alot of getting used to, subject to wind buffeting

REVIEW: I'll start by admitting the smart fortwo has some quirks that require getting used to and that may turn some people off to the car immediately. It is not a car for everyone. The transmission is the largest of the issues. However, the actual driving experience once you know the hows and ...

CONS: Being mobbed in parking lots!!! Can not lower the seats

REVIEW: Handles well on the highway. After nearly one year - people are still asking about it. I never use the "Shift" option. ...

CONS: not at this time

REVIEW: I love the car and its economy. I had a dealer tell me to lift your foot off the gas to make a smoother shift. well that is completely untrue. what are you are buying is a manual transmission. that is why there is a delay. the trick to getting great gas mileage out of the car is to drive it in auto ...

CONS: Ride is too rough, gas mileage could be better, tranny is poor.

REVIEW: I've put nearly 9000 miles on my Smart. Thus far it's been an ok commuter. Overall, it's a good car packaged nicely by Mercedes to give you better than expected space inside. The Smart's small stature garners a lot of attention. It performs well, there's enough power for ...
