Smart Fortwo hatchback review - CarBuyer

If you're strictly a city driver, then the Smart ForTwo could be the perfect choice. The unusual looks make it a head-turner, while its minuscule dimensions mean it's incredibly easy to park. It's as wide as it is long, so you can even leave it parked at right angles to the kerb!

Well yeah, but I prefer Sköda Citigo
Had my little diesel for just shy of eight years, covered nearly 110,000 miles, been totally reliable, it gets me through my 75 mile daily commute, cheap to run, cheap servicing costs, insurance is a little hi, probably due to my job, it's not perfect, but it's a great little motor, I'll keep it till it dies or becomes uneconomical to keep
For everyone saying these cars aren't safe(as of mk2 and after) do some research. The Tridion safety cell, as well as the side head and thorax air bags make this vehicle as safe, if not safer than most cars in its class, as well as classes above it.

I don’t find 5th gear to be reliable. When they tried that stunt with a Tesla.
I own a smart car and have driven all over New South Wales, Australia at 110 km/h all day and have had no problems. Ok it's only 1 litre TURBO and runs on the smell of an oily rag. I owned a 6 cylinder Holden Calais and no one ever sat in the back and the wife only ever sat in the passenger seat on the odd occasion, she has her own car, and I thought why am I driving this 2 ton car? Get something smaller, now I fill up once a month for my normal drive to work. It's a great car for city and country driving

paggodiablo01 agree! I got it because I don't need much bigger. I'm in the US and about an hour from San Francisco, man it was so much fun driving it in San Fran, you can make your own parking spots! Haha
Love my smart. 4 yrs & 63,000 mi. Would do it all over again. Considering trading in for the Electric Drive Smart. All critics should drive one before commenting....you really don't know what you're talking about until u do :)
yeah,this will be my first car :D
nice best review so far! You seem much more confident and relaxed now, compared to your previous vids. Keep up the good work!
She sounds nervous. Must have been one of her first reviews.
Another great review from Rebecca. Keep it up!
I like how the reviewer mentions how you can get the best use out of the transmission. I own a Smart and use the car the way she mentioned anyway.
Damn, the UK gets it good. We don't even have a radio as standard in the base model here.
I find it incredible how comfortably I squeezed into the "trunk" of a friend's smart i think smart can attach some kind of seatbelt and enable a jump seat in the rear, not the safest thing to do but it takes you out of a situation
A wheel on each corner? Wow thanks for the insight.

Well done lady. Youre getting better everday. Great review.
amazing review
good review beautiful... not missing Matt that's for sure, keep up the good work.
I just bought one , mine is a 2009 ForTwo and it has 49K miles and I love it! This tiny car saves me alot of money in gas and has paid for itself lready. I got rid of my 2007 Chev Silverado Ext. Cab for it. Instead of paying $60.00+ in gas every few days , im only paying $25.00 bi-weekly. And I also have a 2010 Dodge Challenger and I drive the Smart Car more than it! Anybody who has negative things to say about the Smar,t arent very Smart at all!
Great little car!!!! Love it!!
Nice review :) keep it up!
This channel is so positive about the cars!
Hello Rebecca. Very good review.
The split boot door is there to make the boot look a lot bigger than it is when it is open
I'm quite happy with my fortwo, although it's not the only car I have access to it's certainly the one I use mostly
Exellent review!
I was at Mercedes today, got a test drive of the new SL65 AMG and it was amazing. Anyway, i also said to myself "Hey why not get in a smart car" So i did. Actually the Smart interior feels bigger than the interior of the Mercedes A, or even B-Class... Sure there are no rear seats, but i expected to be jammed in the steering wheel and in an uncomfortable position. I pulled the seat back and i felt sort of nice. Headroom is also very good. No idea how it drives... And i don't want to find out.
Nice cut down on the hand/arm movements :P BTW my sister loves your coat.
We keep seeing road tests going around mini roundabouts when its not allowed in the highway code
Please come back matt! :)
Great Review
I've just bought a 2017 cabriolet there is now road tax to pay £145 a year. The cars road holding is great the boot space is very limited. But it's fast and great on the motorway .
love this car
please make a review for the same Smart, but the Brabus model. Please
@anotherniki how will u drive if the drivers seat folds flat ?
Of what? Or do you mean OFF?
Since people haven't seen matt from a very long time, the previous matt videos are getting more and more Views!! Thumbs up if you have done something like this!
My Altima has a fuel range of 560 miles but is a 20 gallons fuel tank. The point is I don't stop by the gas station often maybe twice a month
does driver seat fall flat for more boot space , you didn't mention.
Passion or Pure? Mines a 2012 BRABUS, upgraded from a hot green Passion to a amazing blue BRABUS.
Good review
very cute car!
Thank you for this information :)
Does anyone know what year and model this smart is? I like it alot
can you do a review on the smart car brabus
@friendstiky when he cameback? really miss his review :D
if u can review the smart car micro then u can also please review the TATA nano ! so when can i expect to see the review ! ?
Ah, remember the days when a 1000cc engine was "tiny". In 2020, (in the UK), 1000cc is practically the standard for new cars (albeit with a turbo).
The most important thing is does the roof open?
Getting better
irony, you should use it sometime, it's fun!
could 2 dogs sit in the back/boot? or would it be safer in the passenger seats?

i think if you are looking for a type of small car like this that would be easy to drive for a new driver a toyota aygo would be better. although more general options for a first car would be the ford ka, vw polo, fiat punto, renault clio, nissan micra

i love this car since i watched pink panter.
How much is the price car delivery ?
it is a tongue in cheek, but it is also an ironic remark. Because in nearly all carbuyer reviews, they mention when the seats fall flat for more space. The irony is that you expect logically that the driver's seat cannot fold down, but the remark suggest that it does. But i may be wrong, this word is greek, which is my first language, here it is used in this way.

Nice car, nice review. Although I cannot get why Daimler insists on a jerky "manumatic" transmission instead of a CVT.
I often carry a larger load too
@Mp3Astra safer than a saxo... but this would probably be very unstable on a motorway or duall carriageway :P

Nice car, but as usual, what is smart about a city car with bugger all shopping room? :o)
Love this car ❤️👍
Cute and quirky car. But this is the same car me and my dad laugh at whenever we see one drive by because it's so small! X-D Still like it thou...
I want this car how buy

Cool car - good review - it just seems a bit unsafe because of it's size. Maybe in the future this car will become more appealing - but at the moment, every time I see one on the road, it looks a bit silly. Practical but a bit silly.
where is mat?
I wonder if it's small enough to drive in the kitchen
Xe quá đẹp tiện lợi đi trong thành phố tuyệt vời
@Mik5OO I like modern diesels... but a diesel engine in a car this small just seems weird...
Whats up with the gloves?
"It is really slow at changing gear". No, it isn't. That only happens if you rev the hell out of it. If you drive it normally its the same as any other automatic.
this is my favv car
You're getting better, congrats! :-)
2012 smart fortwo passion
I like the way she presents.
