Test Drive: 2011 Smart ForTwo coupe passion

JAKARTA - For me and most people in Jakarta and surrounding areas, congestion has become a meal every day, no exception on Saturday.

I am a person who does not like jam. Moreover, traffic jams on Friday night. So I prefer to go home at around 20:00 to 21:00 pm from Vegacar.blogspot.com headquarters in Menteng, Central Jakarta, to the house in Kebayoran Lama.

However, this afternoon (25 / 2), there are good deals from the Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Indonesia to try to divide with the journalists in Jakarta. I had hesitated because it certainly stuck in traffic.
"Relax, bro. smart, khan, tiny cars, doi continued use automatic transmission. Gak will be tired, deh. Later we can get around anyway. Moreover, the nemenin cave. Hehehehe, "said the photographer with a laugh.
Ten Smart ForTwo take start at the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz Indonesia at Jl. Imam Bonjol, Central Jakarta, around 17:00 pm. Woouuwww ... time to 'make love' with the streets of Jakarta.

"The final destination of La Codefin Kemang. Please take the quickest route to reach the finish line, "said a committee. Cakeeppp. From across the briefing table I saw a photographer to smile while playing her beloved BlackBerry. Apparently he knows my feelings.
Briefing completed 10 2-seater Smart ForTwo directly scrambled out the front parking area headquarters of Mercedes-Benz Indonesia. We got the rations ride smart ForTwo passion coupe with a price of Rp 249 million (off-the-road).
Photographers quickly give directions to me. "Take the Jend. Sudirman - SCBD-Ciranjang - Prapanca - Kemang. Guaranteed safe, "he said. "Ready, sir," my response.

Throughout the region Jl. General Sudirman to the Semanggi Bridge was predictable kemacetannya. However, with a smart ForTwo no problem. dodged taking a blank space is not the case difficult. We can easily put the car as desired.
In the early days of dating with a smart ForTwo, I feel the accelerator and brake pedal feels a bit heavy dipijak. "That's the smart character in order not to jump when the accelerator pedal dipijak. Brakes just added confidence, "said Dhani Yahya, Deputy Director Sales & Marketing Smart Indonesia. "If it was used to no problems."

We had tasted a micro-hybrid mode by pressing the 'eco' near the gear lever. The machine will stop when you're waiting at traffic lights or congestion. When the pedal is pressed akseleratot you will feel the vibrations, which marks the smart machine is active again.

Hmmm ... really enjoyable to drive smart ForTwo plus beautiful girls at some point to give a sweet smile to the photographer. And, of course, parking is very easy with the smart in the parking area is limited.
