Smart For Two Review
Previously a post was left for the smart for two ‘car parts store’ addition car, which is a stylish convertible about half the size of a normal car and enough power to take off. Well there is a review for the new cabriolet model on autoexpress which is summarized here.
First of all it seems looks wise the new smart for two is like the old smart for two, same design and parts. so whats changed?
Well firstly several car parts have been upgraded, for example new electric power steering, the body of the car is larger adding stability and extra storage for baggage and the passenger.
You can get a high liter diesel car engine version but the review is in the basic 1 liter petrol car engine. this may sound small however so is the car and it is enough umph to get places and has great fuel efficiency.
The cabriolet supports the obvious car parts from full length sunroof and collapsible rear section, all electronically operated of course, the improvement lies in the ability to do these functions at any speed, not just stationary. Another benefit is once the roof dropped you actually get improved cabin space.
Another major advancement in car parts is the plastics, which are now much superior quality giving extra charm and boost.
The car engines are all 999cc (1 liter) however they deliver impressive stats from 71bhp and 84bhp in turbocharged guise which means overtaking and getting up the nasty hill on the way to work is a breeze and with this you get about 60 MPG, which is incredible fuel efficiency.
The major flaw pointed out by autoexpress is the car gearbox since it is five speed and semi-automatic, this may sound good but the automatic is less responsive to the throttle and going through gears is difficult at the best of times.
The overall opinion on the cars is good, the new improvements out way the bad and the cosmetic upgrades to car parts and a increase in size means great things for the smart for two, whichever model you choose
