The 2011 smart fortwo for buyers

Before you sign for the fortwo
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 16 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and seat belts; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The 1.0L 3-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 6.6 L/100 km: about 20 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $115.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the fortwo
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Practical details
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the fortwo first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the fortwo on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
