Everyday city life is full of possibilities. Where
else is there more to see and to experience –
and without having to travel long distances to
get there? However, there is also a downside
to having everything close at hand, such as
the scarcity of parking spaces and the stop-
and-go of city traffic. All of which makes the
smart fortwo a practical choice for getting
around in the city.
Thanks to a vehicle concept designed to meet
the needs of city driving, you can get things
done with a minimum of stress. Because when
driving the short distance from A to B, you
lose no time looking for that elusive parking
space. And because you can relax in the
spacious smart interior. Not to mention the
surprisingly spacious luggage compartment
with plenty of room for shopping bags. And not
least because of the many practical solutions
designed to make your everyday life easier
and more comfortable.

>> Parking made easy.
There’s almost always room for 2.69 metres.
Whether you are rushing to an important meeting or need to run a quick errand, there is
no need to waste time looking for a parking space. At just 2.69 metres in length, the
smart fortwo fits easily into spaces that drivers of other cars reject on sight. So before
you seek out the nearest multi-storey car park, why not park right where you need to be?
You’ll be saving time and money, and cutting down on stress at the same time.

Parking maid easy.
In Surfers Paradise, Australia, parking is still fun. This is because the parking meters
are not fed by drivers but by pretty girls in bikinis. Equipped with roller skates,
golden bikinis and plenty of small change, the “Meter Maids” keep an eye on the
parking meters on the beach promenade. If the money runs out, they put more in.
Why? Quite simple: when the parking meters were installed in the 1960s, local
business people were afraid that tourism would suffer. So they came up with the
idea of “Meter Maids” – practically the exact opposite of traffic wardens and a
charming way to cut down on parking costs for tourists. Small wonder that the
“Maids” are still as popular as ever today.
