When you are looking for a hybrid car … I can tell you that the Smart ForTwo is definitely a car that I want to own.  This is a car that is not only going to look pretty chic and interesting but it is completely and totally electric.  That is one of the best things about it. Right now though — the Smart has a lot of issues that they are trying to resolve and that is what the Smart ForTwo is trying to resolve.

For example, the Smart right now can only get up to about 40 hp and it can only provide short bursts when the accelerator is pushed to the floor.  Most of the time, the horsepower is around 27 and honestly, that is not enough to really get you where you want to go.

However … if you are just running up to the store or even to work, this is certainly the car for you and it is cheap!
