Smart Fortwo car leasing and Contract Hire Deals

Smart contract hire has more of a following than many realise, nearly 800,000 of the first iconic model were sold. The current model is longer and wider than its predecessor, now meeting US requirements and enabling it to be sold into the American market.

This car is great to drive; it looks small from the outside but when you are sitting behind the wheel you get the feeling that you are driving a much larger car, it has a very useful five speed gearbox. The top speed is limited to 90mph and it is extremely economical; it has a combined fuel cycle of 67.5mpg and CO2 emissions of just 97g/km. It also has a Euro NCAP five star safety rating.

The only downside of this car, for some, is that it only has two seats but if you can manage without the extra seats this is a great car. The cars you could consider as an alternative to Smart Fortwo contract hire are The Fiat 500, Citroen C1, Toyota iQ or Aygo, Hyundai i10, Peugeot 107 and the excellent Kia Picanto.
