2013 | 2dr Convertible 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD |
I'm 6'3'' 280 lbs, and this car has plenty of room. It is easier to get in and out of than any full size sedan I have driven. It sits upright like an SUV, but it is not so tall that you have to climb in. see full smart fortwo review |

Many complain about the automated manual transmission, but I think it makes the car feel very sporty. It is always better to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow. see full smart fortwo review |

2013 | 2dr Hatch 70-horsepower 1.0L I3 5-speed automated manual RWD |
1. It is a 70 hp car with a sub liter engine. It does not accelerate fast. if you are not ok with this you will be annoyed with the smart. It is still faster than my Jeep wrangler 4 cyl. 2. All early reviews of the smart complained about the transmission shifting which was apparently balky and slow. This remains a dominant piece of information about the smart but it is misleading in 2012 and 2013 models which have software and probably hardware updates that remove the balkiness and make shifting quite smooth. It is still an oddball transmission--manual but controlled by computer so there is a clutch but no clutch pedal--which has the advantage of a manual (no torque converter and manual shifting options) AND the one-foot-driving advantage of an auto. A test drive will determine whether you like or not. see full smart fortwo review |
