With the credit crunch and rising fuel prices making it more expensive to keep a vehicle on the road, there has never been a more appropriate time to buy a more fuel efficient car to keep the costs down.
And for motorists unsure of which vehicle ideally suits their needs, Mercedes-Benz has the answer.
Step forward the smart fourtwo, a vehicle described as the most feature packed ever from the smart range.
Among the benefits of driving the vehicle are heated seats and a three-spoke steering wheel, gearknob and edging on the floor mats.
But as well as being pleasing on the eye, the vehicle could be pleasing in the pocket.
Buyers of the petrol model can benefit from 57.6 to 60.1 mpg while still experiencing 71 bhp.
In terms of the impact on the environment the smart four two is also impressive, with combined CO2 emissions of 112-116 g/km.
Most of the extras the vehicle has is automatically provided on the car, with the only added options including electric power-steering, a lockable glovebox and an upgraded sound system.
