ʻIke ʻia ʻo Smart ForTwo 2008
Akā, ʻoiai ua wehe ʻia ka Smart Fortwo hou loa i kēia pule ma Sydney, ua hōʻea mai ia me kahi hōʻailona nīnau e pili ana i kona pili maoli ma nā alanui Australia.
ʻO ka hui kumu hoʻokahi ma lalo o ka hui makua ʻo Mercedes-Benz i kūʻai aku iā 550 Fortwos ma Australia i ka makahiki i hala. A ʻo kēlā helu, ka mea a ka luna o Smart Australia ʻo Wolfgang Schrempp i ʻae ai, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻomau no nā makahiki ʻekolu a ʻehā. Akā ua hilinaʻi lākou e hiki i ka lua o ka hanauna o ke kaʻa hou ke kōkua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i kēlā mau helu.
Mai ka hopena o 1990s, ua kūʻai aku ʻo Smart i 770,000 Fortwos ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. He kaʻa kūlanakauhale pili kaiapuni kēia no ka poʻe makemake e kū i waho me ko lākou manaʻo quirky, pilikino a "akamai". A ʻoi aku ka nui a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hiʻohiʻona hou ma mua o kona mua.
Loaʻa ka Fortwo me ʻelua mau ʻenekini a me ʻelua ʻano kino. Hoʻohana ʻia nā mea ʻelua e kahi ʻenekini 999cc ʻekolu-cylinder engine. ʻike i hana ʻia e Mitsubishi, hoʻopuka kekahi o 52kW a loaʻa kekahi i ke kōkua mai kahi turbocharger a hāʻawi i 62kW. Hiki i nā mea kūʻai ke koho mai kahi coupe a i ʻole convertible kükohu me ka convertible luna e retracts i kekahi wikiwiki, a me ka coupe me ka sliding cladding aniani hale. Ua liʻiliʻi ka Fortwo hou i mea pāʻani, ʻoiai e paʻa mau ana kona ʻano quirky a kū hoʻokahi.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka huila, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ana a ua hoʻololi ʻia ke ʻano. ʻOi aku ka nui o ke kumu. Mai ka hope, ua like ka Fortwo me he kaʻa maoli, me kahi kūlana noho ākea a me nā kukui ʻehā ma mua o nā ʻeono i hala.
ʻO ka pahuhopu o ke kaʻa ma ke ʻano he kumu hoʻohālike e pili ana i ke kaiapuni ua hoʻokō maikaʻi ʻia - ʻo ia ke kaʻa ʻaila ʻoi loa ma ka mākeke, loaʻa iā 4.7 lita no 100 km i ka mana non-turbo a me 4.9 lita i ka mana turbocharged.
He haʻahaʻa hoʻi nā hoʻokuʻu kalapona. Hoʻomaka ka Fortwo ma $19,990 no ke kumu hoʻohālike coupe 52kW a me $22,990 no ka mea hoʻololi. Hoʻohui ka mana turbo i $2000 i kēlā me kēia kumu kūʻai. A ʻoiai he mea maʻamau paha ia, hiki ke hoʻokele like me nā kaʻa kaʻa ʻē aʻe. Loaʻa ka lumi no ʻelua mau kaʻa, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lumi wāwae i ka mea holo.
Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kōkua i ka manaʻo ʻaʻole ia e pili ana ma waena o ka mea hoʻokele a me ke kaiapuni.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke noho kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ka noho ma mua o ka noho ʻana, a manaʻo ka dashboard ʻaʻole i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia a puni ʻoe. Akā, he ʻano ʻano nani a ʻano ʻokoʻa ia o ke ʻano o loko a me waho.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole he kiʻi kupanaha ka 52 kW, he ʻenekini liʻiliʻi wale nō ia a me he mea lā ua lawa ka mana no kahi kūlana kūlanakauhale. Ke neʻe nei ke kaʻa māmā a puni ke kūlanakauhale me ka wikiwiki e hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i ka hoʻoili lima lima wikiwiki. 'O ia ho'i, 'a'ohe pa'a, akā, ke ho'omalu nei 'oe i ke ka'a me ka ho'ohana 'ana i ka shifter a i 'ole ka hoe ma ka huila.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke palaualelo i ka wā e hoʻihoʻi ai, e like me ka pahu pahu e hana iā ia iho. Ma nā mauna, ua lōʻihi ka manawa e hoʻololi ai i nā mea hana, a i kekahi manawa pono ʻoe e hoʻomaha no ka piʻi ʻana. Ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ka hoʻoili semi-mechanical. ʻAʻole hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻo Upshifting iā ʻoe me he mea hoʻokele novice - akā, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka neʻe ʻana.
Akā inā ʻaʻole no ʻoe ka hoʻololi ʻana, aia kekahi koho softtouch maʻalahi e hoʻohui i $2000 i ke kumukūʻai. ʻO ka māmā kiʻekiʻe he 145 km / h, a ʻoiai kona nui, palekana ʻoe i ka ʻike ʻana ua loaʻa iā ia ka helu Euro NCAP hōkū ʻehā a ua hoʻolako ʻia me nā ʻeke air ʻehā ma ke ʻano maʻamau.
Maikaʻi ma ke kaona a me nā paka, akā ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hōʻoluʻolu o ka holo ʻana no ka mea ʻaʻole i komo nui ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana.
Loaʻa i ka Fortwo ka nod no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka mana kūpaʻa ma ke ʻano he hiʻohiʻona maʻamau, kahi laha i kēia māhele. ʻAʻole i hana ka hoʻokele mana i ka papa inoa, akā ʻōlelo ʻo Smart i nā manaʻo o ka mea kūʻai aku e ʻōlelo ana he māmā ka hoʻokele. ʻOiai ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia ma nā wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe, e ʻike maoli ʻoe i kona nele ʻana ma nā wahi kaʻa a i ʻole nā kihi paʻa.
Ua loaʻa iā mākou ka manawa kūpono e wili koke i ke kumu hoʻohālike 62kW turbocharged. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia ʻano hoʻohālike ma mua o nā mea ʻelua, e hāʻawi ana i ka hana keu a me ka hoʻokele ikaika. Ma ka $90 wale nō ma mua o ke kumu hoʻohālike mua, hāʻawi maoli ka Fortwo i kahi kaʻa kūikawā a kūikawā ma lalo o $ 20,000.
Akā no ka liʻiliʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kahi Mazda2 a i ʻole Volkswagen Polo, e hāʻawi ana i ka pōmaikaʻi hou o nā noho keu, kahi ʻenekini ʻoi aku ka ikaika, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokele wahie. No laila, no ka hana ʻana i kahi koho akamai, pono ʻoe e lilo i mea pā maoli.
He kūpono anei ʻo Smart no Australia?
