Smart ForTwo

There’s no denying the Fortwo’s adorable persona. Next to “normal” size cars, its overall length of 106 inches truly makes it look like a toy. Or a go-cart for adults.

But styling is unquestionably European, which gives the Smart its sophisticated air. And there’s also a little bit of a sporting character here, coming from its accentuated wheel flares, a high shoulder line, and a bodyside design feature that can only be described as the automotive equivalent to sideburns.

Weighing in at 1,654 pounds, the ForTwo is by far, the lightest car on the road. Most sub-compacts outweigh it by anywhere from 600 to 900 pounds.

The ForTwo offers such exterior features as fifteen-inch wheels (quite sizeable for a vehicle this small), a panorama roof with sunscreen, projector beam headlights, and fog lamps. For fans of the open air, this Smart is also available in a Cabriolet model with a fully automatic convertible top.
