The upgrade has been a long time coming, as it's been many years since the last change. Subtle changes include the wheels being situated slightly farther apart, giving the car more stability on rough surfaces. Color options are also extensive, with 40 different combinations available that are also customizable. Luckily for those thinking about buying this newer design, the pricing is going to be almost identical to the last model, making it an affordable and eco-friendly purchase. The Smart ForTwo model is ideal for zipping around cities.
