Smart Fortwo Submodels
The Smart Fortwo originated as a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch to build an ideal city car. It first arrived in the US market in 2008 with the second-generation model (W451). At just 8.8 feet long, its rear-engine layout and distinctive Tridion safety cell offered a unique solution to urban congestion and parking challenges.
Collectors are drawn to the Fortwo's unmistakable design and its place as a modern microcar. While its fuel efficiency is a plus, the car's enthusiast appeal often centers on its limited editions. The convertible Cabriolet, sporty Brabus models, and the early Electric Drive versions are the most desirable variants for their added features and rarity.
Buying Tips
- The automated manual transmission in pre-2015 models is notoriously slow. Test drive one to ensure you're comfortable with its unique shifting character.
- Inspect the exposed Tridion safety cell for any cracks, corrosion, or signs of repair. It's the structural heart of the car.
- Demand a full service history. These small engines work hard, and proof of regular oil changes is critical, especially on turbocharged models.
- The plastic body panels can fade or crack. Check for uniform color and fit, as mismatched panels can indicate a cheap repair.
