Used Smart fortwo for Sale

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!

Driving my Smart car is really fun! I love parking it, including parallel parking (because I just pull right in). It holds two people just perfectly. My husband is 6'5" and he fits! We have traveled a lot in my car; we can fit our two suitcases in the back. It’s not the most smooth ride; it’s pretty bumpy. I love the great gas mileage and don’t mind paying for premium because the mpg makes up for it. It is inconvenient when I need to take more than one person with me. That happens a lot. There are two bad things about the car. The first, it is expensive to fix and needs more repairs than I would like. I’ve had many problems with the A/C about 4 years after buying it. The tires are expensive and hard to get and cannot be rotated. The doors are so big and heavy, they started coming off their hinges. Also, almost no car repair ever wants to touch your car! It is made by Mercedes, but they won’t touch it either. It would be best if you lived by a dealership, they can help you. The second, is that it is so small that I have almost been run over by other vehicles many times. I would estimate that it happens at least once a week. You just have to pay really good attention and use the cute, loud horn that it comes with.

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.
