Last sunday
I spotted my first smart fortwo in Manhattan on the Upper West Side while watching two doormen ask the owner about its fuel consumption. Since I go back to Germany on a regular basis I’ve been familiar with the innovative and cute design for years, but I still took a double take to see it here in New York City.
I’ve always loved the Swatch inspired look, but now I was curious to see how energy efficient this tiny vehicle really is. I learned through smartusa that the smart fortwo is only 8.8 feet long and 5.1 feet wide and has a low fuel consumption with 33 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. This is not surprising due to its small size. As the name suggests the smart fortwo is a two-seater and perfect for driving in a space-starved city like Manhattan. It is available in three different models, including this adorable little convertible.
