Smart FORTWO

A stylish city tool, designed by Germans which ensures longevity. It has few competitors with quite the same style quotient. It's questionable choosing the convertible in a city - too much risk of a slashed roof.

Everything about it is bijoux, two seats, micro boot and the tank which will give you a return of around 57 mpg. The greatest part about owning one of these Dinky toys is being able to park front on. The interior is very funky and there is an array of garish colours to choose from. Standard features are fairly frugal but, for performance, the Pulse version leads. The semi automatic gearbox lacks smoothness between gears but a few practice journeys will see you right. There are three versions of the tiny 698cc engine on offer.
