9) If you’re angry at another driver, you’ll have to use hand signals. There is no anger to be found in the sound of the fortwo’s horn-- only cuteness.
10) The fortwo doesn’t feel tippy or unstable in most corners, even when driven hard. Most will find it surprisingly entertaining to drive on twisty roads. Steering tightens up nicely at speed for added directional stability and confidence.
11) Owners of brand new smart fortwos can expect wintertime mileage at or better than 6.8L/100km if they partake in plenty of highway cruising just over the speed limit. Expect that figure to improve once engine break-in is complete.
12) The fortwo requires premium fuel, to a maximum of 33 litres at a time.
13) The fortwo is sort of a chick magnet. Elderly women smile and point the smart fortwo out to one another, and female drive-thru staff can’t resist its charms, either. Most ladies call it ‘adorable’ or ‘cute’.
14) Parking the smart fortwo may cause drivers to re-visit parking garages just for fun. A tight turning circle, small footprint and unbeatable all-around visibility mean parking may become one of the most entertaining parts of a fortwo driver’s day.
15) Careful opening the fortwo’s doors. They’re nearly as long as the car, and could be accidentally smacked into the side of a neighboring vehicle.
16) The fortwo is magnificent to zip around in city traffic, and changing lanes on the highway is a piece of cake, too. It’s got near-bicycle levels of manoeuvrability.
17) Fellow motorists at stop-lights almost all check out the fortwo-- and its driver. Shy drivers may wish to tint the windows.
