11. Bright, airy feel inside

• Be at one with your surroundings as you travel through your neighbourhood, city streets or highways.
• The smart fortwo coupé features a transparent panorama roof, and the cabriolet model offers an electric tritop fabric soft top. Letting the sunshine in has never been easier.
• Controlling the fortwo's climate is quick and easy thanks to the optimized air conditioning/heating including temperature preset and 20% more power than the first-generation.
• How many other cars can you think of that can pull off so well the colourful upholstery choices in a smart fortwo?

12. The smart fortwo puts a smile on your face and turns your mundane commute into an urban adventure.

13. The smart warranty will make you feel even better about your smart fortwo

• New car warranty: 4 years or 80,000km, whichever comes first
• Adjustment period: 12 months or 20,000km, whichever comes first
• Emission warranty : 24 months or 40,000km, whichever comes first
• Certain emission parts: 96 months or 130,000km, whichever comes first
• Surface corrosion: 48 months or 80,000km, whichever comes first
• Perforation: 60 months unlimited kilometres.
• smartmove assistance: 24-hour breakdown assistance within Canada is free of charge for 4 years after the vehicle's initial registration
• The smart fortwo's steel body is fully zinc plated. As a further provision against corrosion, there is a coat of cataphoretic paint under the main powder-coat paint, and all body cavities are preserved by a special agent. Finally, the body panels and complete underbody are made of polypropylene, which are not prone to rust even if scratched.

14. Below average repair costs

In the unlikely event of a collision, the safety systems will protect the occupants, and the intelligently designed panels will protect the owner's wallet. Dent-resistant door panels and individual bodypanels can simply be replaced, which is quicker and much less expensive than conventional cars.

An IIHS bumper crash test study conducted on mini and microcars reported that the average damage/repair costs for 4 different tests on the smart fortwo added up to $899 compared to $1637 for the Mini Cooper, $1951 for the Toyota Yaris and $1960 for the Honda Fit. In addition, the smart fortwo is the only car in the micro/mini car segment to achieve the rating of "acceptable" in these 4 tests.

15. Ability to express yourself

Who knew your vehicle would double as an empty palette, ready to be painted for self-expression? The smart fortwo's two-colour design allows the ability to mix and match colours to customize the car's appearance. Over time, owner's can also decide to change the high quality, modular bodypanels for a completely different look.

No matter how you chose to customize your fortwo (or even if you don't), people take notice of the unmistakable compact car. One of the best parts of owning a smart is taking in the reception from drivers and pedestrians. Simply put, this car is cool.

The smart fortwo is the only automobile which is still in production to be displayed at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
