Used Smart fortwo for Sale

I bought a Smart car to try to save money on gas, but I almost paid for it with my life! I was rear ended in my smart car by a VW Beetle, which is a small car, but it completely crushed the back of my car. I was pushed forward into the windshield and was in serious condition with major injuries. If I had been in a slightly larger car, I probably would have walked away with no harm. The smart car is so small and cramped, it offers little protection between you and an oncoming vehicle. In addition to safety concerns, the car does not perform well. It is terrible on ice and cannot handle towing even the smallest U-Haul trailer.

When I decided to get a new vehicle (because my previous vehicle became inoperable) I didn't have much money to expend on a new one. I decided to lease a 2013 Fortwo from Mercedes. This was due to the fact that the cost of doing so was so low and also because this car gets great gas mileage. I'm 5ft 10 inches tall. And I was surprised how much room it had inside for such a small car. It was very comfortable on the inside and it had an automatic transmission but, I also could change gears if I wanted as well. I prefer automatics myself. I love the car!

This vehicle has been great for me, especially since I am a college student that attends a commuter college 20 miles away. The gas mileage is exceptional and has yet to cost me over $30 to fill it up in the 3 years that I have had it. I chose to add heated seats in the car which have definitely come in handy in the winter! They provide just the right amount of heat and contain two different settings that adjust the heat intensity. The air conditioning is great as well, it cools very quickly and operates on an automatic setting based on the temperature. The "trunk" provides just enough storage space for small bags and is perfect for small shopping trips. Because of the size, the car is very easy to park and operate. The safety ratings are also very good, which makes you feel safe even though the car is so small. The few things that I dislike about the car is that the seats are a bit uncomfortable after driving or riding in it for a significant amount of time. The turning radius also isn't very good, which is surprising because it is so small. The air vents also aren't very well manipulated and only move down to a certain area (around your face). If you are a little bit shorter, the vents won't go down far enough to blow on other parts of your body. Overall, the car is a great transportation method for a young, single, college student who does some traveling but doesn't have a lot of luggage to transport from place to place. The gas mileage makes up for most of the small cons that the car posses.
