2011 Smart fortwo Base Automatic Model: Smart ForTwo Coupe Pure 1.0L

Place MPG: 33

Powertrain Warranty: 2 years or 24,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 2 years or 24,000 miles
Notes: An asterisk next to this input. Yes, technically, it has approved a highway vehicle, but it is little more than a souped up golf car, in my opinion. Everything about this car says 'cheap' and not in a good way. And the industry has a worst two years, 24,000 miles warranty to back. For what you actually get, I would expect this car to retail for about $ 8K.
