With a bad back it is very easy to get into and out of the car. Very roomy when compared to other vehicles in the same class, whether two or four passenger. see full smart fortwo review |

Have driven on a number of 350 mile trips each way on the Interstae and found the ride comfortable. Around town it holds its own, except on very rough roads. see full smart fortwo review |

Me and hubby are big people both over 6 ft tall and we are both comfortable in the seats. I actually have to move the seat forward to reach pedals. see full smart fortwo review |

There is no rear seat. This is okay with me. But for someone looking for a family vehicle this could be a downside. I mostly see it as an excuse to not have to cart others around. see full smart fortwo review |

Well there is no rear seat to start with. But this could have been a better designed flip down tray design for groceries and other items. see full smart fortwo review |

Found that it preforms much better than the comments the talking heads have made in most of the car reviews. Not all of need to go 0to60 in 4.0 seconds. see full smart fortwo review |

3 cylinder engine does not provide adequate power and very DANGEROUS when you need the power to get out of the way in emergencies see full smart fortwo review |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD |
Not much power. This could and should be remedied by offering some of the turbo powered engines available in other markets. The transmission needs to be "tweaked" to reduce the lag when shifting gears on acceleration. see full smart fortwo review |

I am not a big fan of this "manual-matic" transmission. I prefer to have a clutch pedal as it complements the fun factor in driving. This is a personal preference and other smart owners love the current configuration. For me, the shifting is too slow. see full smart fortwo review |

Car is very capable and stable in snow or ice with correct winter tires, don't think it could handle anything over 6". see full smart fortwo review |
