The '''Fortwo''' is the original [[Smart]] model that was launched in 1998 throughout Europe as the City Coupe. The name Fortwo was introduced when Smart began to produce new models.
THIS IS THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD AND THIS CAR IS A CAR FOR THE FUTURE SO EVERY ONE SHOULD RESPECT THEM, NOT TAKE THE MICK BECAUSE IT IS A FUTURE INVESTMENT, AND PLUS U CANT AFFORD ONE. KEEP TO YOUR PEASANT FRENCH CITREON, PEUGUOT, RENUALT SH1T CARS

On June 28, 2006, [[DaimlerChrysler]] confirmed that retailer UnitedAuto Group "will be responsible for awarding potential dealerships and developing and maintaining a Smart vehicle dealership network throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico."

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[{{PAGENAME}} Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*A major redesign is in the works for the 2007 model year. While not yet released publicly, it is known that the car's length is being increased by some margin to meet US safety standards. However, it has been proven that the new European version is actually about as safe as a Mercedes-Benz.

*For 2008, both Coupe and Cabrio versions of the fortwo will be offered in two new [[Brabus]] trims, the basic '''Brabus''' and the '''Brabus Xclusive'''. Both are equipped with a turbocharged 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine developing 72 kW/98 bhp / 97 Hp at 5500 rpm, allowing the fortwo Brabus to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.9 sec and reach a governed top speed of 155 km/h. The '''Xclusive''' further boasts additional standard equipment like a front spoiler with enlarged air inlets, a special rear apron and heated, leather sport seats. Prices are estimated to be around UD$22,500 to US$30,600.

===Styles and Major Options===
Instead of trims or styles, fortwo has three 'lines': Pure, Passion Coupe & Passion Cabriolet.

The Pure is the basic model, providing a basic configuration and minimal extras. It is the least expensive of the three.

The Passion is considered the luxury line, with air conditioning, electric mirrors, and other specialty options including a cabriolet version.

===Gas Mileage===
US EPA rates the Smart Fortwo at 33 mpg city and 41 mpg highway according to 2008 testing procedures. 2007 estimates were 40 mpg city and 45 mpg highway. However, by European measures, the Smart is considered particularly fuel efficient, averaging 50 mpg for the gasoline model and 69 mpg for the Diesel.
IN ENGLAND THEY GET 60-70 MPG AND EVEN MORE ON THE MOTORWAY FOR 700CC PETROL MODELS. THE DIESEL MODELS GET 90 MPG, BEAT THAT!!

===Engine and Transmission===
Specifications, details, graphs, pictures and other information regarding the powertrain is placed in this section.

===Performance===
Please make sure to '''''write information of the vehicle's performance in a third-person point of view'''''. This section should include information about the car's '''acceleration figures''', '''handling''', '''braking''', etc.

If using information gathered from Road Test articles from a reputable automotive source, then '''''please make sure to cite the quote'''''.

===Reliability===
The fortwo's Mercedes Benz heritage comes through here, earning the car high marks for reliability in Europe, Japan, and Canada.

===Safety===
[[Image:tridon_safety_cell.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The fortwo's tridion safety shell makes all the difference.]]
[[Image:Smart fortwo ncap main01.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Probably the biggest concern about the smart car people express is the issue of safety. In the US, 'bigger is better' is the normal rule-of-thumb when it comes to deciding which vehicle is safest. With the fortwo, that rule fast becomes becomes roadkill.

The secret to this vehicles safety rating comes from its 'Tridion Safety Cell.' This cell is designed to retain its shape in a collision, transfering much of the impact force back to the other vehicle. Also, given its size, the likelihood of striking one of the tires in a collision is high, which means the suspension helps absorb the force of the impact.

To help avoid the crash, the all fortwos come with [[Stability_control|Electronic Stability Control]] and [[Anti-Lock_Brakes_ABS|Anti-lock brakes]] as standard features. Dual [[airbag|airbags]], self-tensioning seatbelts, knee impact cushions and a collapsible steering column also come standard. Side-impact airbags are available as an option.

US Safety ratings have not yet been set, but in European ratings[http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/ratings.php?id1=1], the fortwo gets a very respectable 3-stars.

===Colors===
Colors are one aspect of the Smart that is unique. While the vehicle has one primary color, the Tidion shell comes through at points, and has its own base color. In most instances, the shell is black, but in the Passion trim, the shell is also available in silver.

The rest of the vehicle is made up of interchangeable dent-resistant molded plastic panels. Much like the [[Saturn|Saturn]] lineup, these panels are solid colored, which means if they are scratched, the color remains unchanged. The best part is that you can purchase additional panels from the dealer, allowing you to change the color of your car at will.

In addition to the standard colors, smart is known for releasing limited edition colored vehicles, frequently themed to a partner. Some examples are Barbie Pink and iPod white. These limited edition vehicles often have a custom set of interior options, not available any other way.

===Main Competitors===
In the US, it is tough to define competitors, as there really is nothing specifically that matches up with the smart fortwo. The following are the closest vehicles in size and fuel efficiency.

* [[Toyota_Yaris|Toyota Yaris]]
* [[Honda_Fit|Honda Fit]]
* [[MINI_Cooper|MINI Cooper]]

The '''Fortwo''' is the original [[Smart]] model that was launched in 1998 throughout Europe as the City Coupe. The name Fortwo was introduced when Smart began to produce new models.
THIS IS THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD AND THIS CAR IS A CAR FOR THE FUTURE SO EVERY ONE SHOULD RESPECT THEM, NOT TAKE THE MICK BECAUSE IT IS A FUTURE INVESTMENT, AND PLUS U CANT AFFORD ONE. KEEP TO YOUR PEASANT FRENCH CITREON, PEUGUOT, RENUALT SH1T CARS

On June 28, 2006, [[DaimlerChrysler]] confirmed that retailer UnitedAuto Group "will be responsible for awarding potential dealerships and developing and maintaining a Smart vehicle dealership network throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico."

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[{{PAGENAME}} Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*A major redesign is in the works for the 2007 model year. While not yet released publicly, it is known that the car's length is being increased by some margin to meet US safety standards. However, it has been proven that the new European version is actually about as safe as a Mercedes-Benz.

*For 2008, both Coupe and Cabrio versions of the fortwo will be offered in two new [[Brabus]] trims, the basic '''Brabus''' and the '''Brabus Xclusive'''. Both are equipped with a turbocharged 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine developing 72 kW/98 bhp / 97 Hp at 5500 rpm, allowing the fortwo Brabus to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.9 sec and reach a governed top speed of 155 km/h. The '''Xclusive''' further boasts additional standard equipment like a front spoiler with enlarged air inlets, a special rear apron and heated, leather sport seats. Prices are estimated to be around UD$22,500 to US$30,600.

===Safety===
[[Image:tridon_safety_cell.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The fortwo's tridion safety shell makes all the difference.]]
[[Image:Smart fortwo ncap main01.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Probably the biggest concern about the smart car people express is the issue of safety. In the US, 'bigger is better' is the normal rule-of-thumb when it comes to deciding which vehicle is safest. With the fortwo, that rule fast becomes becomes roadkill.

The secret to this vehicles safety rating comes from its 'Tridion Safety Cell.' This cell is designed to retain its shape in a collision, transfering much of the impact force back to the other vehicle. Also, given its size, the likelihood of striking one of the tires in a collision is high, which means the suspension helps absorb the force of the impact.

To help avoid the crash, the all fortwos come with [[Stability_control|Electronic Stability Control]] and [[Anti-Lock_Brakes_ABS|Anti-lock brakes]] as standard features. Dual [[airbag|airbags]], self-tensioning seatbelts, knee impact cushions and a collapsible steering column also come standard. Side-impact airbags are available as an option.

US Safety ratings have not yet been set, but in European ratings[http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/ratings.php?id1=1], the fortwo gets a very respectable 3-stars.

===Colors===
Colors are one aspect of the Smart that is unique. While the vehicle has one primary color, the Tidion shell comes through at points, and has its own base color. In most instances, the shell is black, but in the Passion trim, the shell is also available in silver.

The rest of the vehicle is made up of interchangeable dent-resistant molded plastic panels. Much like the [[Saturn|Saturn]] lineup, these panels are solid colored, which means if they are scratched, the color remains unchanged. The best part is that you can purchase additional panels from the dealer, allowing you to change the color of your car at will.

In addition to the standard colors, smart is known for releasing limited edition colored vehicles, frequently themed to a partner. Some examples are Barbie Pink and iPod white. These limited edition vehicles often have a custom set of interior options, not available any other way.

===Main Competitors===
In the US, it is tough to define competitors, as there really is nothing specifically that matches up with the smart fortwo. The following are the closest vehicles in size and fuel efficiency.

The '''Fortwo''' is the original [[Smart]] model that was launched in 1998 throughout Europe as the City Coupe. The name Fortwo was introduced when Smart began to produce new models.
THIS IS THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD AND THIS CAR IS A CAR FOR THE FUTURE SO EVERY ONE SHOULD RESPECT THEM, NOT TAKE THE MICK BECAUSE IT IS A FUTURE INVESTMENT, AND PLUS U ANT AFFORD ONE. KEEP TO YOUR PEASANT FRENCH CITREON, PEUGUOT, RENUALT SH1T CARS

On June 28, 2006, [[DaimlerChrysler]] confirmed that retailer UnitedAuto Group "will be responsible for awarding potential dealerships and developing and maintaining a Smart vehicle dealership network throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico."

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[{{PAGENAME}} Review]]'''.

===Recent Changes===
*A major redesign is in the works for the 2007 model year. While not yet released publicly, it is known that the car's length is being increased by some margin to meet US safety standards. However, it has been proven that the new European version is actually about as safe as a Mercedes-Benz.

*For 2008, both Coupe and Cabrio versions of the fortwo will be offered in two new [[Brabus]] trims, the basic '''Brabus''' and the '''Brabus Xclusive'''. Both are equipped with a turbocharged 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine developing 72 kW/98 bhp / 97 Hp at 5500 rpm, allowing the fortwo Brabus to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.9 sec and reach a governed top speed of 155 km/h. The '''Xclusive''' further boasts additional standard equipment like a front spoiler with enlarged air inlets, a special rear apron and heated, leather sport seats. Prices are estimated to be around UD$22,500 to US$30,600.

===Styles and Major Options===
Instead of trims or styles, fortwo has three 'lines': Pure, Passion Coupe & Passion Cabriolet.

The Pure is the basic model, providing a basic configuration and minimal extras. It is the least expensive of the three.

The Passion is considered the luxury line, with air conditioning, electric mirrors, and other specialty options including a cabriolet version.

===Gas Mileage===
US EPA rates the Smart Fortwo at 33 mpg city and 41 mpg highway according to 2008 testing procedures. 2007 estimates were 40 mpg city and 45 mpg highway. However, by European measures, the Smart is considered particularly fuel efficient, averaging 50 mpg for the gasoline model and 69 mpg for the Diesel.

===Engine and Transmission===
Specifications, details, graphs, pictures and other information regarding the powertrain is placed in this section.

===Performance===
Please make sure to '''''write information of the vehicle's performance in a third-person point of view'''''. This section should include information about the car's '''acceleration figures''', '''handling''', '''braking''', etc.

If using information gathered from Road Test articles from a reputable automotive source, then '''''please make sure to cite the quote'''''.

===Reliability===
The fortwo's Mercedes Benz heritage comes through here, earning the car high marks for reliability in Europe, Japan, and Canada.

===Safety===
[[Image:tridon_safety_cell.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The fortwo's tridion safety shell makes all the difference.]]
[[Image:Smart fortwo ncap main01.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
Probably the biggest concern about the smart car people express is the issue of safety. In the US, 'bigger is better' is the normal rule-of-thumb when it comes to deciding which vehicle is safest. With the fortwo, that rule fast becomes becomes roadkill.

The secret to this vehicles safety rating comes from its 'Tridion Safety Cell.' This cell is designed to retain its shape in a collision, transfering much of the impact force back to the other vehicle. Also, given its size, the likelihood of striking one of the tires in a collision is high, which means the suspension helps absorb the force of the impact.

To help avoid the crash, the all fortwos come with [[Stability_control|Electronic Stability Control]] and [[Anti-Lock_Brakes_ABS|Anti-lock brakes]] as standard features. Dual [[airbag|airbags]], self-tensioning seatbelts, knee impact cushions and a collapsible steering column also come standard. Side-impact airbags are available as an option.

US Safety ratings have not yet been set, but in European ratings[http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/ratings.php?id1=1], the fortwo gets a very respectable 3-stars.

The larger '''formore''' was to be released worldwide (including the United States) in 2006. It was a small [[all wheel drive]] [[SUV]], riding on the same [[automobile platform|platform]] as the [[Mercedes-Benz C-Class]]. The architecture would be shared with the [[Mercedes-Benz MLK-Class]], a proposed SUV that would be smaller than the [[Mercedes-Benz M-Class|M-Class]]. Power would have ranged from a 1.8 L [[straight-4]] to a 3.0 L [[V6]], including Diesel versions. Production was to have been carried out at DaimlerChrysler's factory in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, rather than the French Smartville factory.

The formore was to be smart's first official entry in the United States market. However, [[DaimlerChrysler]] is considering a limited entry into the market, with just the fortwo, essentially in urban areas. Development of the formore has been halted since April 2005, due to DaimlerChrysler's monetary concerns (the smart brand had yet to make a profit after eight years in operation, and the formore was costing more money to develop than anticipated).

The larger '''formore''' was to be released worldwide (including the United States) in 2006. It was a small [[all wheel drive]] [[SUV]], riding on the same [[automobile platform|platform]] as the [[Mercedes-Benz C-Class]]. The architecture would be shared with the [[Mercedes-Benz MLK-Class]], a proposed SUV that would be smaller than the [[Mercedes-Benz M-Class|M-Class]]. Power would have ranged from a 1.8 L [[straight-4]] to a 3.0 L [[V6]], including Diesel versions. Production was to have been carried out at DaimlerChrysler's factory in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, rather than the French Smartville factory.

The formore was to be smart's first official shit entry in the United States market. However, [[DaimlerChrysler]] is considering a limited entry into the market, with just the fortwo, essentially in urban areas. Development of the formore has been halted since April 2005, due to DaimlerChrysler's monetary concerns (the smart brand had yet to make a profit after eight years in operation, and the formore was costing more money to develop than anticipated).
