What Owners are Saying About the 2011 smart fortwo

"Fun car like no other"

"Fun well designed car. Great to look at. Very comfortable (I'm 6ft4). Excellent customer care, with lots of warranty repairs, recalls, bulletins in the beginning, most reliable after that. Count on 40mpg on PREMIUM gas, always. Very safe on the freeway. Got it up to 90 mph, when the rev limiter kicked in. Excellent to drive in bad weather. More fun to drive hard! Cheap interior. Lousy speakers. Atrocious transmission, stalls and heaves when shifting. Jiggly ride. But so fun to drive and own. Depreciates fast! Get a low mileage good used one, or negotiate! DO NOT EVER pay MSRP on a smart! I did and found myself 2 grand upside down on my loan when I traded it in."

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS CAR!"

"I bought it on line, on a whim! Had read it was easy to tow behind a motor home. We've had it 18 months, the hitch assembly is on, the electric on/off switch installed, but we have yet to tow it! In large part it's because I love to drive it daily. I have a Buick Enclave--a wonderful car--but "Marty" is my vehicle of choice, except on highway trips. There is nothing I don't like about it. It's peppy, easy on (premium) gas, so easy to park most anywhere I go, and carries 6 bags of groceries or our two schnauzers. It gets attention everywhere I go and opens conversations with strangers seeking to know more about it. I hope I never have to part with it."

"I purchased my smart new in 2008."

"My smart has been great and pretty much trouble free. The only issue was a blown head gasket which the dealership repaired. My smart has averaged between 40 and 45 MPG and it gets about 60,000 miles to a set of tires and I have replaced the wipers once and the battery once. The body panel look perfect and people always think it is a lot newer than it is. The only con I have is the crazing in the panoramic roof. My leather seats are great and they show no wear after 143,000 miles. Great little car!"
