I just bought a passion coupe. I love this car. Once you learn how to use the transmission, its actually pretty peppy. I was spending over 400 a month in gas. The car payment and gas combined are less then the gas alone in the Jeep. Insurance does put the overall cost over the price of gas, but I am buying the car...its a literal investment over burning gas that, once used..is gone forever. I love this thing.

In manual mode, push the shift stick to + and hold it there for a second or two before shifting, then release the shift stick and your shift to the following gear will be smooth. You have to drive smart when you drive a Smart fortwo; at least that's how I drive my 2015 Smart fortwo pure car.

Tykenwil Ⓥ The Prius has everything it needs to be my favorite car, but it doesn’t use any of it. The hot-hatch is getting to be my favorite car form-factor, but no, Toyota has decided that it needs to be as ugly and as slow as possible so I won’t buy one.

In referring to the gas mileage, he says, "That's why you get a fortwo". I strongly disagree! There are a number of cars you can buy which get better fuel economy. I've been driving a smart fortwo for almost eight years. There were a number of factors in my purchase decision ... Safety! Yep, Likely the safest car I've owned in 45 years of driving. Fun! Absolutely a hoot. Like an underpowered sports car, handles curves GREAT! And last, but certainly not least, it's different! I've owned my share of vanilla, appliance cars. Boring cars like the Nissan Sentra. I wanted something DIFFERENT, and the smart fortwo fills that bill. I went nearly eight years without a serious problem. My cabrio roof needs replacement. The transmission: Never use Automated mode. Use manual with paddle shifters.
@nathanbarria79258 жыл бұрын
I wanna get a Fortwo but two things are stopping me, can you address them? One I hear it doesn't take bumps well, do you get used to it? Is it all that bad? Also it runs premium but is it cheap to run despite it running on premium gas?
@Vector_Ze8 жыл бұрын
As with other small cars, you feel the road. If your regular routes are bad/bumpy, that may be a concern for you. Premium fuel is recommended. A few people I know of don't go by that recommendation and use Regular. It'll run on Regular, but at the price of a performance hit and likely some decrease in range. I've always figured that for an extra dollar or two per tankfull, why not use the recommended fuel? If you drive 1,000 miles/month, buying premium will cost $6-7 more than buying Regular. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

High 30s for real world has mileage? Fuck, last tank on my 20 year old Geo Metro with 214,308.8 miles was 37 mpg and I work in as a delivery driver in an urban area. The longest trip I've taken this car on is about 50 miles of surface streets, so I don't have any real world highway mileage numbers, but I am guessing that with conservative driving I could get 55 mpg pretty easy, add in drafting I think I could probably push 70 mpg.
