smart fortwo
The wee Smart has been distributed in Canada by Mercedes-Benz since 2005. It’s now powered by a 70-hp 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine and a five-speed automatic gearbox. An electric version also exists, offering a range of 135 km. And yes, it is also available as a convertible. The Pure model is more affordable than you’d think, while the Brabus comes decked out in sports attire.
