Welcome to the world of smart!! I hope you enjoy your little car as much as I have enjoyed mine for the last 10 plus years.
Just bought myself a Fortwo
I have been following the smart car casually since their introduction into this country. I am a fan of small cars but have only owned a few. I more or less bought mine on impulse one rainy day last week. Carvana makes it too easy. A 2015 light blue metallic Fortwo Passion City beam edition with 31k miles. So far I like it far more than expected I would. Car experts have been highly cricical in their reviews. Owner reviews are mostly positive. Negative owner reviews are predominantly dealer service related. I was expecting the car to be under powered but discovered it is quite zippy and not at all under powered. The transmission is a marvel of technology once a person accepts that it is a manual that shifts automatically. The suspension is sporty. The car handles great. It is feature rich far beyond expectations. What a bonus. I love it.

@Flash443 Your 451 has 70 horsepower same as all 451's. In some other countries, the 451 was offered with a turbo. The base turbo was 84 horsepower and the Brabus offered 102 hp, if I remember correctly. The US spec 451 Brabus has the same 70 hp as the other models, Pure/Passion. It is a very peppy little car and since I am a big fan of small rear engine cars, it is just right for me.
You are correct....In Europe they rate it at 71 horsepower.
