SMART ED - TWIZY FUN WITH DOORS AND A HEATER

EV Channels Review

The Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (ED) is presented as a quirky, yet practical urban EV, offering impressive maneuverability and surprisingly good interior space for its compact size. Reviewers highlight its zippy acceleration for city driving and its capability on country lanes, though its top speed is limited to around 70-75 mph. Real-world range is estimated at 80-85 miles, which is considered sufficient for daily commutes and school runs, especially given the low running costs (around 2p per mile). The car boasts a comfortable ride on good roads, though it can be firm and bumpy on uneven surfaces. Positives include a fantastic heater, effective air conditioning, heated seats, and a good stereo system. However, the steering is noted as being heavy, and the lack of rapid charging is a significant drawback. Despite these points, the reviewers found it to be a fun and enjoyable car to drive, particularly appreciating its small turning circle and ease of parking. It's recommended as an excellent second car for short-distance urban use.
