The 2009 fortwo is a 2-door, 2-passenger family coupe, or convertible, available in 3 trims, ranging from.the pure to the passion cabriolet. This is a very fun car to drive. We have had the smart up to 90 mph on interstae 95 and 80 on a single lane country roads. Car handles very well for its weight. The car handles exceptional in the rain, even with ponding or pooling. Back cargo area is perfect for trips to the grocery. The down side is it is hard to make left hand turns because on coming traffic always slows down to look at the bright yellow SMART
Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 1.0-liter, I3, 71-horsepower engine that achieves 33-mpg in the city and 41-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.
I had purchased my car years ago, in Europe, and drove about 70K miles so far. This car is much safer, than many other (bigger) cars, as crash tests have shown. THis car is very strong built, has airbags, ABS, ESP, and so on. It looks trendy, and gets everybodies attention. The aircon is handling the hottest weather very well, as well as the heating makes a drive in the winter always a comfortable ride. The sound system is ok, and the panorama see through roof is just cool. You can see the stars at night, and even get a nice tan, by just driving at day time. This car actually offers much more place inside, than it seems from the outside. I'm 6'4 tall, and I always sit comfortable, with enough space for my legs and my head. THis car is perfect for a single person or a couple, but not for a family, since it has only two seats. It offers enough space for shoppings, or luggage. If you love to ski, there is an option (not standard, must be purchased seperatly) to fix your ski's outside on the back of the car. All the doors are operated with remote control, and in case the battery is down, just use the key to open. THis car is very well built, no wonder, since it's a product from mercedes
