Smart, Fortwo – The Energy saving car
The Smart is a Germany based compacted car, powered by a three – cylinder engine, weighing a small 1,600 pounds. The changeable body allows the owner, to change the look of the car and it can produce up to 69 miles/gallon.
The car measures less than 100 inches long, with a 60 inch width, which is great for parking because you can park side by side in a single parallel parking space, making the car extremely practical.
It has no clutch pedal, instead it has a shifter, which allows transmission to also operate as an automatic. Smart has been targeting C02 emissions of 90g/km, however the official testing came back to 88g/km, which makes it clean compared to other cars in the market. The fuel consumption target was 69.2mpg, but this increased in the official testing to 71.3mpg.
The Smart is great for city driving and not too bad for motorway driving, talking from experience, and it is relatively cheap, with efficient petrol consumption.
