BROOKLYN–Fans of the Smart ForTwo can buff up their enviro-image with an electric drive version of the minicar coming to the U.S. this fall.
Smart USA offered test rides of the ForTwo Electric Drive this week here, where I got a chance to get behind the wheel and take it for a spin on the streets of New York.
Overall, the ForTwo fits the bill as a clever citycar because its size makes it easy to maneuver through city traffic and park, provided that you don’t have much stuff to haul around. The ForTwo Electric Drive smooths out the gasoline version’s choppy transmission and lets minicar owners pull the plug on their oil habits.
