2008 Smart ForTwo Review: Road Test
I-Smart ForTwo yesizukulwane sesibili ivulekile kakhulu, inezici zokusingatha kangcono zokuphepha kuneyandulelayo, kodwa ingabe le moto encane echumayo kwamanye amadolobha aseYurophu anabantu abaningi futhi aminyene idingeka ngempela emigwaqweni yase-Australia?
ingaphandle
Ngokusobala i-Smart ForTwo ibukeka ihlukile kunezinye izimoto, kodwa kuze kube yilapho ubona eyodwa iphakathi kwezimoto ezimbili ezinkulu - njengoba senza endaweni yokupaka izimoto ezisebenzayo - ukuthi uyakwazisa ngempela ukuthi lezi zinto zincane kangakanani. Njengoba ngaphezudlwana nje kwamamitha amabili nengxenye ubude nemitha elilodwa nengxenye ububanzi, benza i-Corolla ibukeke ixakile.
Umklamo wangaphakathi
Ngaphakathi, i-ForTwo iyisisekelo esihle, njengoba isikhala siphezulu. Iwashi ne-tachometer kutholakala ngenhla kwedeshi kumadayeli amabili angaphandle, kodwa lokhu kunikeza indawo yabashayeli isibindi, umuzwa oyisporty kancane. Amawindi kagesi nezibuko, izihlalo ezintofontofo kanye ne-stereo esezingeni eliphezulu kuqeda iphakethe.
Isikhala sokubeka siyabiza futhi, kodwa isikhala sempahla singu-220 litres, kanti amaphakethe ezicabha nebhokisi elikhiyekayo ku-centre console kunikeza isikhala esengeziwe.
Injini kanye Transmission
I-coupe neshintshwayo yeSmart entsha ihlome ngenjini ejwayelekile engu-52-litre enamandla angu-92 kW/62 Nm noma eyi-turbo enamandla angu-120 kW/XNUMX Nm.
Zombili izinjini ezishisekayo kanye ne-turbo zifinyelela ejubaneni lika-145 km/h, kanti injini ye-turbo ikuthatha isuka ku-100 iye ku-10.9 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-52—ijubane elicishe libe yimizuzwana emithathu kune-XNUMXkW.
Kulindeleke ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kuphansi - 4.7 l/100 km injini engu-52 kW kanye ne-4.9 l / 100 km yenjini enamandla amakhulu.
I-automated, clutchless, five-speed manual transmission ithumela amandla emasondweni, kodwa akwenzeki uku-automate ngokugcwele le nqubo.
Ukulondolozwa
Emotweni encane kangaka, iphakethe lezokuphepha le-ForTwo liyamangalisa. I-ESP, Hill Start Assist, ABS ne-Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Acceleration Skid Control ne-Electronic Brake Assist zisezingeni. Kuhlanganise lokho ngesilinganiso sokuphahlazeka futhi uzoqala ukukuxwaya ukugibela.
Uhlu lwamanani
Ku-$19 nge-coupe eshibhe kakhulu (efika ku-$990 nge-turbo convertible), lezi akuzona izimoto ezincane ezishibhe kakhulu. Engeza kulokho ukuthi bathatha isikhala esincane, futhi uphawu lombuzo luzolenga phezu kwesinqumo sakho sokuthenga.

Kuyadida ukuhlala ngemuva emotweni, futhi naphezu kokuhola izinkanyezi ezi-4 kwezi-5 ze-Euro NCAP, isazwakala ithambile. Isikhala sekhabethe esengeziwe kule nguqulo yesizukulwane sesibili sihlukanisa wena nomgibeli wakho kangcono, kodwa ungase uzizwe une-claustrophobic kancane uma ufuna ukwelula.
Kubukeka kahle ngaphambili nangaseceleni, kodwa ngenxa yezihlalo eziphakeme, ubona ibhokisi likamentshisi ewindini elingemuva.
Ephepheni, amandla kanye ne-torque kubonakala kuncane, kodwa uma ucabangela ukuthi imoto inesisindo esingama-750kg, ukusebenza kuhle kakhulu, mhlawumbe kuze kube nzima ngezinye izikhathi.
Ukushintsha njalo i-paddle noma i-shifter kuyadingeka, futhi ukuguquguquka kuyinto encane futhi kungase kucasule uma ujahile.
Zinhle futhi zintsha, kodwa isidingo akumele sibe namandla njengase-Europe, lapho imigwaqo emincane kanye nenani elikhulu labantu lidinga imoto encane nenyakazayo.

u-halligan uthi
Ukushayela ngaphandle kwedolobha kwakumnandi, ukusheshisa kwakumangalisa, futhi ngiyabathanda abashifu be-paddle. Ukungena kuthrafikhi nokusheshisa ukushintsha imizila yilapho le nto ihamba kahle khona... inqobo nje uma uvumela ukubambezeleka koshintsho lomzila, okubonakala kukalwa ngamasekhondi kunama-millisecond.
Kodwa ayibushelelezi kakhulu ngesivinini esiphansi, ukugoqa okuningi nokukhala, akujabulisi kakhulu noma kukhululekile. Ngithole i-ergonomics inzima. Nganginesihlalo ngiqonde emuva futhi kwadingeka ngigobise ingalo yami ukuze ngifinyelele ewindini likagesi ukuze ngiyehlise. Isibuko sangaphakathi siphezulu lapho amalambu omshayeli ongemuva kwakho elokhu ekuvimbile.
Kwakungekho okuningi ukugoqa komzimba lapho ijika ngokushesha, kodwa ukushintsha ngokushesha ukusuka ku-XNUMX kuya ku-XNUMX kubangele ukuguquguquka okwenza umkami anyakaze. Kodwa i-Smart yahlala futhi yahamba kahle, yaze yadlula amaloli ambalwa angama-B-double ahamba ngokuhambisana.
Ngidlula abashayeli bakwaCommodore nabakwaBimmer izikhathi ezimbalwa, ngabathola begijima ngesivinini njengoba ngidlula ukuze ngiphinde ngihambe phambili. Kusobala ukuthi bacasulwa ukucasuka kwabo ngokuficwa uClever omncane.
Kodwa inkosikazi yayihleka imoto kuphela, kodwa ayizange ithande ukushayela.
Ngingumlandeli wakwaMercedes, kodwa ngingathenga enye yalezi? Cha.
Thenga iFiat 500 - okungenani umkakho ngeke akuhleke.
Isinqumo: 6.5/10

Udinga ngempela ukugcina isandla sakho phezu kwama-paddles ukuze usebenzise ngokugcwele le njini encane kunoma yini ngaphandle kohambo lwedolobha oluhle kakhulu. Futhi amantombazane amabili amade athola ukuthi yayinendawo esanele, kodwa ngemva kokwengeza izikhwama zethu, yayingasekho enye indawo.
Ukubekwa kwezinye zezilawuli akulungile, futhi ukubonakala kwangemuva kusengozini kakhulu.
Konke lokhu kufanele kusho isipiliyoni esingemnandi. Futhi namanje...
I-Smart akuyona nje indlela yokuthutha, kodwa futhi isitatimende. Lokhu kusikisela ukuthi uhlala edolobheni, unendaba nemvelo, futhi ungathembeli emotweni enkulu ukugcizelela ukubaluleka kwakho emhlabeni. Uhlakaniphile, ngempela.
Kodwa inkinga yayo enkulu ukuthi konke kunesithunzi, njengezikhwama zokuthenga indwangu nokudla okuphelele. Okungakunaki lokhu ukuthi i-Smart ingaba mnandi kakhulu kumhambi wasemadolobheni.
Kunento ehlekisayo ngokulingana kwakhe kangangokuthi awukwazi ukuzibamba ngaphandle kokumamatheka uma uyibona.
Ikakhulukazi uma lokho kubukeka kuwukubheka emuva okwaneliseka njengoba uhamba ngokunganaki, ukufake endaweni yokupaka engase inselele isilayidi esikhulu somntwana.
Ngingakwazi ukuphila nalokhu kuze kube phakade? Kuphela uma bekunemoto yesibili egaraji yohambo lomgwaqo, ukuthengiswa kwegaraji, ngisho namasonto anohlu olukhulu lwegrosa.
