Congratulations to Smart Car of America member micromachine for being our very first Smart Car of the Month! Micromachine's smart 450 was chosen for it's stylish customizations and it's great personality. This extreme smart fortwo stands out in the crowd in nearly with nearly every modification available and even some that aren't available. More picture of this beautiful smart fortwo after the jump!
Also, special thanks to all those that participated and we look foward to seeing the participants in the next Smart Car of the Month contest!
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.
Thanks to Phillip Wright and his friends from Kearns, Utah for sending this very ingenious and entertaining Smart car video.
Phillip told us "Recently my high school TV teacher purchased a Mercedes Smart Car. My friends and I took quite an interest in it when we found out he had the car. We were lucky enough to be allowed to take it for a test drive. During the drive we found it was a very comfortable and smooth ride; and the inside was much roomier than we ever imagined. Throughout our test drive, we especially enjoyed the many smiles and waves we received. We also found the different features of the car to be quite enjoyable. The ability to switch between manual and automatic, the sun roof, and the very quite engine.
After we tested the car and returned it to our teacher, my friends and I decided we would make a short film about the Smart Car. We considered the attractiveness of the Smart Car and decided to use it to "pick up girls," in our film. Our film was about a car service that provided amazing cars that guaranteed men to pick up girls. The car the boys received in the film was the Smart Car and they succeeded in their quest. The Smart Car is not only great to use in filming but a great ride. I give the Smart Car two thumbs up."
