smart fortwo
Mercedes-Benz’s sweet mini, the Smart Fortwo, is back without much change for 2010. Except for some optional accessories or equipment groups, it’s the status quo. It is still fitted with a 70 horsepower 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine. The rear wheels are powered via a four-speed automatic transmission. And no, accelerations are still not very exciting, though some improvement has been made with time! And even if many buyers are worried by its winter qualities, the Smart can handle snow without any problem.
