What problems does a Smart Fortwo have?
Years 1998-2007

Answer

The problems with the Smart Fortwo come from how it is used; if we keep it in its place, which is the city, and use it as a Citycar, it doesn't have major problems, except for those of an aesthetic nature: it's impossible to please everyone there. But if we expect it to make long highway trips and regularly cover hundreds of kilometers, that's not its job. It will inevitably cause problems for us.
