2007 smart fortwo cabrio
Reviewed By:Norm Mort
Price:$22,945
Likes:Fun with generous space for two, hence name and luggage space that accommodates your Golden Retriever. Interesing all-in-one automatic, semi-automatic, or paddleshift tranny. Perfect for around town, par it anywhere. Or cruise at 85mph. An alternative to hybrids.
Gripes:Complicated combination, power, manual, and vintage elements to top. Overly noisy, rear-mounted 40-hp, 3-cylinder 799-cc, turbo-diesel engine requires planned acceleration. Impish size hurts ride. Eerything optional, including cup holder, with Brabus performance options very expensive.
Verdict:Like olives, the smart cabrio is an acquired tastes. Son to be replaces by a new smart(er) version, the fortwo has proven to be successful in Canada-3,023 units sold in 2006. No giant snowballs reported tumbling down the Canadian highways in winter; smart fortwo (always spelled in the lower case) has an impressive safety record.
