 The biggest key to high mileage in the Smart Fortwo is probably understanding
the transmission. A lot of people - and a lot of journalists who should
know better (and even some dealer reps!) - seem to think the Smart Fortwo has
an automatic transmission and it has a problem of being too slow
between gears. But that's not the case at all. The Smart Fortwo has a manual
transmission with an automatic cluch that shifts according to an
optimized high mileage program. It is marvelous and it works perfectly.
It even allows you to defeat the high mileage overlay with manual
shifting similar to a Tiptronic that you find in high end sports cars
and sports sedans.
