Vehicle Summary: 2008 Smart Fortwo Coupe
The Smart Fortwo Coupe is an egg-shaped, two-seat micro-car that counts value, stylishness, 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 translates into a sluggish 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time over 12 seconds. A five-speed transmission that blends characteristics of manuals and automatics is the only available gearbox. The Smart Fortwo Coupe 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, although not with the Fortwo's fashion sense.
