Smart Fortwo Cabriolet (07 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 17 September 2007 Last Updated: 20 September 2010 This is the convertible version of the car that most people know simply as the Smart car - although it looks very similar the normal coupe. The model's picked up a cult following since being launched in right-hand drive form in 2001 and is now an everyday sight in towns and cities up and down the country. It's easy to see why: it's fun, simple to park, cheap to run and well equipped for urban life. The cheeky cabriolet version injects an extra dose of fun and feel-good factor in the summer thanks to a fabric roof that quickly folds down. Unfortunately it shares the same sluggish gearbox as the coupe model and is not great on open roads. However, there is a Brabus version available which adds more power and a sporty bodykit. 3.5 out of 5 Other Smart reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £10,950 - £16,750 View all new prices Used price range: £3,681 - £13,689 View all used prices Get a Smart Fortwo Cabriolet (07 on) information pack Next steps Smart Fortwo Cabriolet cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
