2008 Smart Fortwo Cabriolet

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Smart Fortwo Cabriolet

The Smart Fortwo Cabriolet is an egg-shaped two-seat convertible micro-car that counts, stylishness, maneuverability, and fuel efficiency among its primary virtues. It's sold on a special-order basis via a limited urban-oriented dealer network. A 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine produces just 70 horsepower, which means the Fortwo is slow but gets great mileage. A five-speed transmission that blends characteristics of manuals and automatics is the only available gearbox. The Smart Fortwo Cabriolet is larger on the inside than it looks, with ample room for two large adults, albeit without much cargo room. It certainly turns heads, but there are other cars in its price range that provide more power, a back seat, and a useable trunk for not much more money.
