Key strengths: Plenty of power for the commute / great to park!
Areas for improvement: Seats
Really fun to drive. Most people I talked to beforehand seemed put off by the size, but after driving it I was hooked. The cabin feels at least as roomy as my Corolla, which isn't saying a lot, but at 5' 11'' I fit just fine. The diesel engine is quick, revs evenly, and the turbo puts out a fair bit of torque.
Seats are comfortable, but not meant for extremely long drives. My family lives in Scotland and I wouldn't want to drive it all the way there from Sussex.
Can't say enough about the engine. Plenty of power for the commute, decent speed on the highway and great fuel economy. I get looks every time I drive it, which might make some people uncomfortable, but I feel better knowing I can fit into any parking space.
I am told there is a way to convert this engine to biodiesel, which is cheaper to run on, so I plan to do that in the next year or so. This is just for my own conscience, not the cost. The running costs for Smart Fortwo 1.9 turbo diesel Automatic are low
