With the Camry starting to experience multiple system organ failure I have found my next car. There is a smart store in Venice. A scouting mission is on tomorrow's agenda.


2008 smart fortwo

The Facts

*1.0 L, 71 HP, 3 cylinder engine

*5-speed automated manual transmission with manual or automatic mode

*Air conditioning

*Protective "tridion safety cell"

*The top speed of the smart fortwo is 90 mph (Electronicly limited).

*The vehicle is designed to achieve 40 plus mpg under normal driving conditions and current standards. The gas tank of the smart fortwo is 8.7 gallons.

*The fortwo has 8 cubic feet of storage space – 12 feet if you load up to the roof line.

*The smart fortwo that will be available in the United States will be:
o 8.8 feet long (you can usually fit two smart fortwos in an average parking space!)
o 5.1 feet tall (the smart still has as much headroom as most luxury vehicles!)
o 5.1 feet wide (two six foot, five inch plus people can sit side by side with plenty of shoulder room to spare!)

***Note the leg is 6'5" (at least on my left side). Check out the Big Man commercial.
