Review

The smart fortwo cabrio is no longer just an urban fashion accessory but it's still at its best in town on a sunny day. Jonathan Crouch reports...

Ten Second Review
Smart's recently refreshed take on city centre motoring is at its cutest in open-top fortwo cabio guise. It's almost as nippy as a bike, yet as trendy as the priciest convertible. If you're town-bound, here's a car with few rivals that it's hard not to like.

Background
If the best thing about smart is the little fortwo, the best thing about the fortwo is this cute cabrio model. While its fixed-top stablemate struggles to justify its existence in a market filled with cheaper, more practical superminis, the cabrio is almost unique in offering fashionable, open-top city centre motoring at an affordable price. Small wonder that a third of all smart buyers choose it. Without this variant keeping fortwo sales afloat, smart itself would probably cease to exist. With a model range that expanded too fast too soon in the early years of this century, the Mercedes-owned brand came close to collapse before a second generation fortwo, this model, launched in 2007, set things back upon an even keel. Recently facelifted, this, more than ever before perhaps, is a car of our times.

Driving Experience
Roof open on a sunny day, your designer shopping bags on the seat beside you, it takes a special kind of urban traffic jam to dent your general good humour if you're a smart cabrio driver. The electric fabric roof retracts at the touch of a button and because the car itself is so short, it's quick enough to do at the lights if you're hit by a sudden cloudburst. Otherwise of course, the recipe is exactly as it would be in a fixed-top fortwo, which means that most buyers will end up behind the wheel of the second generation version's 1.0-litre Mitsubishi-sourced three-cylinder engine, in a range of different states of tune. As an alternative though, dedicated urban dwellers might also want to consider the 54bhp 800cc cdi diesel model. True, it can be pretty painfully slow - sixty from rest takes nearly 18 seconds in the diesel - but come on, be real here: when was the last time you went 60mph in the middle of town, this smart's intended operating environment? It matches the flow of traffic, which is pretty much all you need, while returning significantly better fuel and CO2 returns than you'll get from the entry-level 71bhp petrol model I'd recommend it over. Not everyone who works in town lives there of course and should your smart cabrio need a slightly wider scope of urban and open road functionality (where the MK2 model's longer wheelbase and wider track gives it a bit more composure), I'd suggest you look at the more lively 84bhp turbocharged petrol version. You could even go for an even faster 102bhp BRABUS Exclusive variant, though that car's price tag might make you think twice.

Design and Build
The second generation fortwo cabrio has been improved in recent times, the most recent facelift being for the 2012 MY. The changes are, perhaps, a little less subtle than they've been in the past. There's a larger radiator grille with a more prominent integrated chrome Smart logo, remodelled front aprons, side skirts and rear apron and horizontally arranged optional LED daytime driving lights. The previous model's twin air inlets under the number plate have been combined into a single unit. There's also a choice of three new alloy wheels: the fortwo passion comes with a new 9-spoke design and there are two slightly different three-spoke designs fitted with wider tyres to round off the range. The expanded colour chart includes matt anthracite for the first time and the BRABUS Xclusive model becomes optionally available in white. In addition to the three soft top colours previously available (black, red, blue), the smart BRABUS tailor made programme offers six more soft top colours. Inside, trim has been upgraded with a crystal grey leather/fabric combination for the seats, an imitation leather/fabric mix for the door trims and black imitation leather for the instrument panel in combination with a grey knee pad. The cabriolet's folding fabric roof is easily operated at any speed at the touch of a button. It retreats backwards in the manner of a conventional sun roof revealing a big slice of sky overhead but drivers wanting to go fully convert their smart will need to stop and get out. Removable side roof bars unclip and can be stowed in a special compartment in the tailgate while the rear roof section, once released, drops down to sit on top of the boot. Owners get a respectable 220-litre luggage capacity in the back, there's a glass rear window to improve visibility and on the inside, the fortwo now feels like part of the Mercedes-Benz family, rather than the scruffy stepchild that smart's prestigious parent company would rather forget.

Market and Model
List prices start some way above those of the fixed-top fortwo but you should still be able to get one of these on your driveway for just over £11,000. Compared to a more conventional cabrio, that's ridiculously cheap, though of course you'll need to be prepared to trade longer distance capability and practical versatility for the smart's city centre nippyness. Basically, you're looking at a premium of around £2,000 to own one of these over the standard model, with list prices ranging all the way up to £16,500 if you want BRABUS bling. And rivals? Well, right off the cuff, I really can't think of any, though if you take the idea on a four-wheeled urban runabout with a fresh air aspect to its extreme, and can live with electric power, a Renault Twitzy might fit the bill. The complete fortwo cabrio range starts with the econobasic 54bhp diesel model but it really is worth finding £300 more to get the 71bhp power unit or better still, the turbocharged 84bhp engine that's uprated in the flagship BRABUS Xclusive model to 102bhp. Standard equipment depends of course on your choice of spec but more important than the niceties are the safety touches you'll want to know about in a car as small and potentially vulnerable as this one. The MK1 model's tough safety cell (emphasised by these visible dark-painted structural elements) remains, as does the ESP stability control that's necessary in a tall, short-wheelbase car like this. There's also ABS with brake assist and twin front airbags - plus we'd go for the optional side 'bags too, which could be life-savers.

Cost of Ownership
The introduction of mhd (micro hybrid drive) in more recent second generation fortwo models has made a big difference to fuel consumption, with improvements of nearly 30% around town where the system's start/stop function disables the engine at traffic lights or in urban queues. Further recent tweaks have now meant that the popular 71bhp micro hybrid drive petrol unit fitted with softip transmission now emits just 97g/km CO2 - an improvement of 6g/km - and manages over 65mpg on the combined cycle. This development means the most popular petrol and diesel engines in the smart range now fall below 100g/km CO2. The emissions of the top Xclusive version are also lowered to 119g/km. The whole smart range now emits less than 120g/km CO2, which makes all models exempt from the cost of the annual road fund licence for at least the first year from registration. You can't beat a diesel of course when it comes to running costs and the cdi manages an astonishing 85.6mpg on the combined cycle, whilst outputting just 86g/km of CO2. Clip-on, clip-off plastic panels help with cheap insurance groups which for mainstream models vary between 2-3, while residual values are amongst the best in class.

Summary
This car represents a clever idea, cleverly executed. If you like the idea of an open-top, you drive your car mainly over short distances or in town and space is not especially important, then you'll likely find the fortwo cabio to be an endearing little thing. The extra maturity of this facelifted second generation version is welcome but this is still the kind of purchase you make with your heart rather than your head. Maybe if smart could sell it with a designer shopping bag. Better still, one of those convertible, reversible ones. Fashion: don't you just love it?
