Besides small area and good parking, what are the highlights of second-hand Smart?

My friend recently wanted to buy a second-hand scooter for her sister who just graduated from college. Within the budget of 50,000 yuan, I normally recommended Volkswagen POLO and Honda Fit to him, but his sister finally had to buy this car, 12 hardtop Mercedes-Benz Smart. Now the market is more than 40 thousand, which is more expensive than automatic fit and POLO of the same age. Will this car be more worth choosing? Let's analyze:

The length, width and height dimensions of the car are: 2695mm, 1559mm, 1542mm, and the wheelbase is 1867mm (slightly different in each version).

In terms of appearance, the first impression of this car is of course small and lovely, especially the white body color and detailed design, which is quite spiritual.

Headlights, frameless body, rim modeling, two-color body color matching and other details are very refreshing, and the sense of force is definitely stronger than Fit and POLO. The body panels are basically plastic, which also shows that the safety of the body has nothing to do with the hardness of the station wagon.

Although the materials used in the car are general, they are all hard plastics and are very practical designs. I think it's very good, and it can also give consideration to practicality. It looks quite retro and cute, and girls can't refuse.

Such as the central control panel, air outlet and other detailed design, so that the car will not be too monotonous.

The seat is made of fabric, so the comfort is the same, but the space is really abundant. My friend's height is 188cm, so there is no pressure when sitting, let alone my little sister.

The normal volume of the trunk is about 220 liters, so it's no problem to put a bag or something. The double-layer opening method looks practical, but it's useless. It needs to be opened twice, haha.

In terms of power, this car is a 1.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of only 7 1 horsepower and a maximum torque of 92 Nm. Compared with POLO and Fit, the power is much weaker. The body weight of the 5-speed AMT gearbox is about 750kg, and we have measured that the acceleration time is nearly 17 seconds, which is far from Fit and POLO. When driving everyday, the car caught fire for the first time, which startled everyone, especially the starting sound and vibration. People who have never driven this car will think that it is broken and the gearbox gives people a bad first impression. If you want to move, you have to step on the accelerator, and you are used to driving AT, CVT and even dual clutch. It's really not suitable to drive this kind of car anymore. In terms of power, after all, the car is small, but the driving power in urban areas is also poor. But if he really wants to speed up and overtake quickly, he certainly doesn't have the ability. After all, his top speed is 140 km, and the shift time of AMT gearbox is long. Oh, my God. In short, the powertrain of this car gives me the feeling that the garbage is too extreme, which is the worst model I have ever driven. Suzuki's alto and Big Dipper both feel better.

In terms of chassis, the car is driven by rear drive, and the suspension form is non-independent suspension of the front McPherson rear torsion beam. When driving everyday, the car gives people the feeling that it is bumpy and noisy. The engine has been whistling in the back, and the wind noise and tire noise are obvious. After passing through the big speed bump, the impact in the car is very obvious, and the comfort is far less than that of Fit and POLO. But because of the small area, this good parking is really true.

Final conclusion: Compared with POLO and Fit, this car has smaller volume, smaller space, weaker power, worse comfort and slightly lower fuel consumption, but the later use cost is really not low, which is similar to that of ordinary Mercedes-Benz. But this car has so many shortcomings, why do so many people choose it? In addition to the convenience of parking, my friend's sister always said, it's beautiful and cute. Haha, sure enough, women's idea of buying a car is different from ours.

Do you think this car is worth choosing?
