The Truth About Cars - 09 Carlsson fortwo review

This is about the worst review I've read. Full of all the stuff you hear from people who would rather drive an urban Ship.
Review: 2009 Carlsson Smart ForTwo | The Truth About Cars
The comments following the review are just as unenlightened. If reading bad reviews and ignorant comments doesn't interest you, move along.

As a glutton for punishment, i read the (poor) review, then scrolled down to read the comments. I wish i heeded your warning. Maw, get me my gun!

Hmm, I’m so curious about why people are so down on this car.
Because it and the Prius are on the opposite end of the automotive spectrum from the Ford Crown Victoria Police Package, which many enthusiasts consider to be the pinnacle of automobilia.



I must have missed the memo when a Crown Vic became a cool car.

Not sure where the extra hp came from unless the change in exhaust?

Other than that, the typical " don't confuse me with the facts" review.

Worst review ever. He probably looked at it and just made up conclusions. A mainly SUV site should never review small cars.

Glad to see many on the comments applauding the smart instead of bashing.

I read most of that biased POS and gave up. If their tiny little poor excuses for a mind is so already made up, no logic will ever change it. I wouldn't have one of those Supersized Urban Vehicles if you gave it away with a pound of coffee (and I love my coffee). I get really PO'd when I see those aircraft-carrier vehicles with ONE PERSON in them. What a waste of space and gas...

And they wouldn't know the "Truth about cars" if it crawled up their collective legs and bit them on the posteriors.

Okay, and do you want me to tell you how I REALLY feel?

This is insane. I bet none of the people who posted the comments never driven one, or have a escalade, or simply lost their common sese WAY back then!

If ignorance is bliss, then those that made comments supporting the review are very happy people.

If something happens to my 09 Passion, I will buy another in a NY minute.

Ignorance can be fixed, you can't fix stupid.
