THE introduction of the all-new ForTwo early this year brought a host of significant changes over the original Smart that redefined the notion of personal mobility. Benefiting from a growth squirt (rather than spurt), the micro-car gains new-found maturity, a modern interior and driveability that the first Australian iteration could only dream of. Of course, it’s not perfect. Though much improved, the ride is still harsh, the jerky automated-manual transmission still changes gear at snail’s pace and the steering prefers to work against, rather than with, the driver. And, at $25,990 in Turbo Cabriolet guise as tested here, it does not represent great value. Despite these criticisms, then, why do we still like it?
