2018 Smart Fortwo EV – The Epitome of Cute Cars

One of the biggest car fads to come to America about 10 years ago, the latest Smart Fortwo forges its combustion engine for pure electric only propulsion. Its short 58 mile range will still limit its appeal to city dwellers but its surprising amount of interior room and comical ability to turn on a dime will surely keep its drivers entertained.

I had a 2013 smart ForTwo (Gas 1.0L, 3cyl, 70hp) and that car was a lot of fun. Drove it on I-5 @ 80 mph for 200+ miles, parked it next to a 9 ft. stretch of curb between two driveways (no other car could park there without blocking a driveway), did u-turns almost no other car could do, etc. I traded it in because I started carrying more passengers and needed a vehicle with a back seat. In the time I had it, zero problems; served me well. For my driving, I fueled it up about once a month.
Some people criticized my smart - many more paid it compliments. *What really matters is if **_YOU_** like the car, **_NOT_** others.*
Lastly, for those considering a new/used smart, *_TEST DRIVE & RESEARCH! KNOW_* what you are getting. (You should do this before purchasing any car.)

One thing I find interesting is how some people criticize this car's safety so much. The smart has 8 airbags, ABS, ESP, TC, Crosswind Assist, Tridion Safety Cell.
By comparison, my motorcycle has: *NO* airbags, *NO* ABS, *NO* ESP, *NO* Traction Control, *NO* seat belts. It does however, have one safety feature: BRAKES. Yet, very few people bash it for being "unsafe." Every vehicle has it's risks.

So strange to have a physical key ignition on an electric car instead of push button.

That intro music and circle driving had me dying LOL 😂

But I like the idea of using what is only needed. Driving a 5 seaters, you're carrying thousands of unneeded pound with you.

Don't be surprised it has a back up camera, as of 2018, all new cars in the us are required to have a backup camera.

Lol probably one of the most hilarious reviews you've done since the Nissan Versa sedan 5 speed manual.

[PotatosPotatoes]

The doors are plastic, so that's why they sound crappy and cheap. It's a weird car and I love it.

2:19 "Smart even offers a sport package..."
Who are you gonna race with those? Granny's electric scooter? Squirrels?

0:37 the Moment he started the background I was laughing like hell, this car felt like car for kids and growing up babies

Should have gone for 88MPH to see if you could go back in time....

When the Smart's front turn signals are on, it looks like it's blushing.

I had a smart car.
Went from Iowa City to Chicago in Snowy weather.
It was just fine

why will somone pay 29 Grand for a tiny car. Its cute, i get it but why more than 8 grand ?

It's perfect when you're not primarily highway driving, especially as a second car. If you have two cars for two people, those road trips can be handled by the car with a larger range. We are leasing one for 90.02 a month with 3000 down. Not bad, especially when you factor in the other savings (lack of fuel or oil, and only three fluids).

One thing to note: there is a radiator in the front. You can see the gaps where the grille lets air in. It is to cool the battery, because it is a liquid cooled battery, unlike the Nissan Leaf.

I once took this car on a 14-hour road trip! Everyone stares out you like you are out of your mind.

I first drove this car with Car2Go car sharing service and I fell in love with how fun and practical it was to drive!

"People out on the highway stare at you like you're crazy because they're like what in the heck are you doing out here." 🤣😂
