Smart Fortwo Coupe (2007 - 2014) CDI Passion 2d Auto (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

i would say it shows someone who wants to stand out, be individual, be economical, do their bit for the environment,. Be good, but still drive a good looking car unlike an ugly hybrid i can think of....

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

everyone seems to love it, my dad even said if he wanted a small car, didn't need the extra seats he would buy one, and he didn't like them before he had a good look with me at them, hes been converted :)

Would you buy this car again and why?

i definitely would buy this car again, and once again in diesel form as i feel i would miss the torque, and the mpg :)

What are you likely to buy next?

well it will be a while yet as i haven't had this one long but i hope it will be another smart, whatever they bring out when it comes to change time :)

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,500

When did you buy the car?

May 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I had looked at quite a few smarts on the internet at different garages and this one seemed the best value for money

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a car, that stands out from the crowd, good looking, good on fuel and tax, free tax :)also fit for purpose as theres only the 2 of us mainly in the car, the smart was all the car i need

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was extremely pleasant and we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere all the time from looking at the car to accepting delivery

What's it like to drive?

I had driven a toyota iq too before driving the diesel smart and the smart was every bit as good as the iq, which is its main competitor. The torque gives a very good feeling at junctions/roundabouts when you want to nip out quickly, it gives you quite a bit of extra confidence :)

What's it like to park?

not good, just joking its excellent of course it is , less than 3 metres long and a small turning circle makes it perfect for tight parking spots and gives you room to move in a car parking space , when the car only takes up half

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing so far, though i have had it less than a month

What's most practical about your car?

The fuel economy, and the smallness makes it great for parking

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

favourite option has to be heated seats , it wasn't standard on the model so they original buyer must have had them optioned on the car when new, a good thing to have, also air con is a boon
