The newest edition of the smart fortwo is a "vast improvement" on all of its predecessors, according to a review of the model in the Telegraph.
Among the features stated as improvements in the review, by Andrew English, are bigger door mirrors, a dashboard that has branched away from looking like a toy and a boot with a "proper external release".
Also Mr English states that the car is more stable at motorway speeds due to an improvement in handling.
When taken on a road test by the reporter, he stated that the car was highly capable of reaching good speeds and had no trouble in hitting its top speed of 84 miles per hour.
If driven conservatively, economically and kept away from motorway speeds, the article adds that the car is capable of achieving 116.4 miles per gallon of fuel, with an average speed of 30.45 miles per hour.
Thus, for those who want a little town run around the diesel smart fortwo is an ideal car.
Sales this year of the smart fortwo are up 82.4 per cent on the figures recorded for the same period last year.
