2019 smart EQ fortwo Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

It drives well in the rain; the get up and go is pretty awesome. The air conditioner is top-notch, cooling easily after you first start it up. Thankfully the gas tank is 40 miles to the gallon, but I wouldn't take it on road trips for long distances because of the lack of storage, but it is a cute little town car to get you places.:).

The smart EQ is a great little electric car, and when used in the right environment it really is just fantastic; quick, nimble, fun, and very low cost to run. In the city, or urban areas is where the car really is at home. Long stretches of highway driving is not what this car is designed for, but it can be done, you just need to plan the route carefully for charging. The car has many high end features (Prime model + Climate Package + Sport Package) and is like driving a tiny electric Mercedes. There is surprisingly many storage and cargo tricks to this car. The front passenger seat folds flat and you can fit a golf bag in with no issues. The bar behind the seats that sections off the trunk and provides additional storage, and a cover for the trunk area is removable, so taller items work. For the right owner and environment this car makes so much sense, and is a pleasure to own, and drive.

The only downfall of this vehicle is the low mileage. One full charge can drive someone 60 miles. But it can be less if driver uses electrical things inside of the car. For example if the air conditioner is on, if the headlights are on, if you use the USB ports to charge your phone or if the radio is on. The car is spacious inside. Ideal for in town drives and small tasks.

It is good but the problem is that the range is not as good as I would like. The car is extremely small and can do a 360 turn with simplicity. The bar for the trunk behind the seats is frustrating as it does not allow for removal and taller things to be fit into the car.
