DENPASAR - Various questions heard by vegacar.blogspot.com about smart ForTwo. City car since late November 2010 that official diniagakan PT Mercedes-Benz Indonesia (MBI), many doubted could be living in the country. Among the voices heard, the most widely is the question of the function, dimensions, performance, and price.
Those who ask about the dimensions of pessimism that the Smart ForTwo is able to provide comfort because of limited space. ForTwo which only has two seats and little luggage space is also considered no more functional than any other city car can carry up to five passengers.
While the ForTwo prices starting from USD 216 million to $ 269 million off the road is considered less rational, especially compared to those seharaga cars. Not to mention that only machines with a capacity of 1.0-liter judged not offer gahar performance.
MBI which became the official dealer of smart brand holders in Indonesia tampakya aware of all conditions. Therefore, Sunday (5 / 12) last week, MBI bringing a number of mass media, including Daurpacu.com to Bali. The goal was clear, namely to try ForTwo performance in an environment where a lot of smart will give meaning.
"Main set about smart consumer should we wake up in Indonesia. This car is unique and has its own character that distinguishes it from a city car or other cars, "said Deputy Director of Sales and Marketing Smart Dhani M. Yahya.
vegacar.blogspot.com very understanding. Since the beginning of the smart vehicle was built for the individual. This car is also expected to be a means of mobility of city dwellers who are increasingly feeling the lack of infrastructure, the pressure on fuel prices, and the environment. And, it all is the main function of the smart.
Smart ForTwo is just made for two passengers. In the aspect of function, this car actually offend the users of large cars that are often just use two seats in front. Open only energy wasted from the behavior of 'waste' is, but also reduced the length of the road.
Imagine if the people who use mobility MPV to replace its fleet with two smart people. Long traffic jams that had been complained of must be reduced.
The simplest calculation is this: A traffic jam along the 1 km mean preparing unit 222 MPV. Well, if by smart then jam the same distance can be filled 384 units. Or premises other words, as many as 222 units which protrude only spend smart passes along about half a kilometer.
Like the local government of DKI Jakarta, Bali of course also very happy when the riders take advantage of the smart car as the primary means of mobility. Moreover, Jakarta and Bali had the same limited road infrastructure. smart also produces only 100g/km of CO2 less dai so very friendly pollution.
Exterior Design
Smart ForTwo brings unique desin. This car is almost the entire body covered with a polycarbonate skin, a kind of plastic material.
However, unlike polycarbonate plastic structure for commodity plastics industry or engineers. Polycarbonate is considered more resistant to heat tehadap, and impact, so much used also for production of a CD (compact disc) and DVD, and Blu-ray discs.
Because the use of polycarbonate is not surprising that smart exterior appearance looks more slick and polished than the cars with a body of Paja or aluminum plate. It becomes one of excellence characteristic of polycarbonate material.
In addition, the use of polycarbonate has reduced the weight of the smart in singnifikan that directly contribute to saving fuel.
Smart ForTwo himself with a length of only 2.695mm, 1.559mm wide and 1.542mm tall weighs only 750 kg to 780 kg model coupe and cabrio. Compare with a 1.000mm Estilo Suzuki Karimum longer and weighs 850 kg.
The smart design kesuluruhan very pleasant. This car is so funny, especially if the road berirngan. Big lights in front and two small pairs in the back is very harmonious with the design flow.
Meanwhile, on both sides of the rear fender air vents are black lid. Position not only adds value to the power of design. Moreover, the ventilation air flow cooling is used as a machine that sits under the rear cabin.
The wheels enough to give the impression naughty. Psalnya, to equip all four wheels smart ForTwo with 15-inch alloy wheels with 12 bar bar design. Wheels are paired with tires 155/60 R15 (front) and 175/55 R15 (rear).
In testing in Bali smart bringing three models sold in Indonesia, namely pure coupe Mhd 45kW, 52 kW Mhd passion coupe and passion cabrio 52kW.
All three models can easily be distinguished through the roof design. To model smart ForTwo Pure coupe 45kW Mhd promised to provide unique style and fun through hard roof closed.
While the Smart ForTwo coupe passion 52kW Mhd equipped roof closed but stylish transparent window (panoramic roof with sun screen). The model smart ForTwo cabrio passion 52kW appear like a naughty roadster with a fully open roof.
Interior Design
Smart also offers unique access to the interior-accent. Action would most adorable tachometer (rpm pointer) and the clock that sits side by side on the dashboard. The form of this device much like a small bowl.
Own smart dashboard design looks so simple. Nothing special, except that the layout could use minimal space. Audio buttons and air conditioning made as in most cars.
It's just fabric wrapping material dahsboard feels expensive. This distinguishes it from most Japanese cars are generally allowed without a wrapped plastic dashboard. Remarkably, the same material used to wrap the second bucket seat models.
Behind the bench is available a short distance is not too wide. vegacar.blogspot.com calculate the distance of the bench with the engine compartment wall is only about 20mm. However, the room was enough to make the back bench can be put down.
In addition, vegacar.blogspot.com also well worth lifting your thumb with a smart way to make the trunk. Although very small in size, space available is more than enough to put two camera backpack.
Cabrio model is more funny anymore. Behind the door panels are available luggage rack to keep the side roof frame when the user wants to release it. Uninstall and reinstall the pillars are also very easy.
Oh yes, it also indicated there is a unique ignition key. You will not find the location of the keys behind the wheel, because smart has turned it into the back of the gear lever that is between the two benches.
Comfort and Function
One if you suspect the smart ForTwo will restrict the movement of users. This car has a poorer leg room is roomy like most mini sedan. Distance knee with the dashboard, too. As a result, there is no impression that you are on the small box while driving and riding smart ForTwo.
With the ability to create good comfort, smart ForTwo deserves to be a city car for daily use. In this car you can also enjoy entertainment and a refreshing blast of air conditioning. Because it assumes smart vegacar.blogspot.com still fun like a big car even though you are in siege congestion.
Performance and Control
A waretawan initially suspected smart with 999cc engines powered 61 hp at 5.800rpm (45kW model), and 71 hp at 5.800rpm (52kW model) would not provide a new driving experience.
Just so bright. The reason, as long as the journalist test run only about 40-60 km / hour. He also did not even provoke a smart performance. Footing accelerator pedal normally done in stages, both when starting and high speed.
Different things might he feel when vegacar.blogspot.com take the wheel. vegacar.blogspot.com accelerator pedal immediately stepped in and played a gear shift semi-manually. Steering wheel movements we played extremely well to find out how much stability when maneuvering smart.
The result is the journalist said, "Wow! Can tight too huh? "He even occasionally laugh with delight when winding-liukkan vegacar.blogspot.com smart to get out of the party line. "It took hours to fly higher to bring smart fast like this," he said, shouted (at the time vegacar.blogspot.com using model cabrio with the roof fully open).
When the maneuver, then brake hard, it's fantastic again shown smart. Vegacar.blogspot.com honestly do not think that smart could behave like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Later we realized that the smart equipped with a series of advanced technology, ranging from the EPS (Electronic Stability Program), including ABS, ARSR, EBD, Brake Assist and hill start assist. Because of this technology, smart clever set of termination, even if the braking done in a situation that could technically make the car's speed was not controlled.
In short, smart ability to provide excellent stability have made the Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris, and Suzuki Swift worth covering her face.
smart himself claimed 45kW and 52kW models capable dilesatkan up to speed 145 km / hour. Actually, that speed can still be increased if only smart not install speed limiting system.
smart equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission with softip feature (transfer gear via the 'plus' and 'minus' in belaik steering wheel). If the driver is not accustomed to using the buttons, shift lever can be done with memendalkan tranmsisi.
And, the driver forgot kalupun up and drop off gear, then the automatic gearbox computer will set the appropriate level of speed and spin machine.
Unfortunately, digital idikator which indicates the position of the gear change feels slow when the driver is manikan or lower gear. This has made vegacar.blogspot.com a little awkward. But after understanding that the computer processor can not work as fast as tersumat to cars, Mercedes-Benz, we just consider it as a commonplace.
Price and Conclusion
Smart sold in three models, ie USD 219 million for the coupe Mhd pure 45kW, 52kW Mhd USD 249 million coupe passion, and USD 269 million cabrio passion 52kW.
On paper these models are very close to the Jazz and his friends. And, you may say that the smart expensive. Yes, he is expensive. But that price could clearly spelled out cheaper by consumers who became the target smart.
Oh yes, who is he? Surely those who come from well-established that have kept many cars in his garage. Moreover, in Indonesia smart not an ordinary car.
smart is like a Rolex clock. Despite having the exact same time point at other hours, the price of Rolex is much more expensive because there consumer to get quality, comfort, and prestige.
