In a time when gas prices have eclipsed the $3 mark and continue to climb, fuel-efficient vehicles have seen their stocks rise. With U.S. consumers finally moving away from gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs, smart, a division of Mercedes Benz, has decided to debut the smart fortwo - a two-person car that measures only 8.8 feet long - in the United States.

The smart fortwo is the shortest car on the market and the company claims you could fit two of them in a single parking space. The vehicle's innovative design even earned it exhibit space in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City - one of only six cars ever to bear that distinction. With over 770,000 fortwos already on the road worldwide, smart is now ready to introduce this much-buzzed-about car to the U.S. market. The company has opened up an online smart fortwo Reservation Program, allowing interested buyers to reserve their choice of model and color for a $99 fee (applied to the eventual purchase of a fortwo or refundable at any time). Once smart finalizes its dealership locations in the U.S. (expected to be announced at the end of January), dealers will begin calling reservation holders to formalize their purchase agreements.

Three different models of the smart fortwo will be available in the U.S.: the entry-level pure (starting at $11,590), the well-equipped passion coupe (starting at $13,590) and the convertible passion cabriolet (starting at $16,590). All of the models come with a 3-cylinder, 1-liter gasoline powered engine and have an electronically limited top speed of 90 mph. The gas tank holds 8.7 gallons, and the smart fortwo is designed to achieve 40 city/45 highway according to 2007 EPA standards (or 33 city/41 highway miles according to the EPA's revised 2008 standards). Along with standard safety features like electronic stability program and ABS brakes, smart also touts the vehicle's tridion safety cell - designed to keep occupants protected in the event of a crash through displacement of impact and redistribution of energy.

Perhaps what surprises people the most considering the compact size of the smart fortwo is the amount of space inside of the vehicle. The back of the car features 8 cubic feet of storage space (12 feet if you load to the roof line), and smart also notes that the fortwo has the same amount of headroom as most luxury vehicles. Other innovations incorporated into the production of the fortwo include the use of energy efficient and recyclable materials, removable door panels (you can actually change or mix and match colors for the car) and a high driving position for visibility. With its fuel-efficiency, compact size and unique design, the smart fortwo could very well become this year's Mini Cooper - a car that's both practical to drive and hip to own.

Smart Fortwo Cabrio: in the Middle in the Heart

“Looks oh, however sweetly”. Thus unfortunately usually not the driver of the Smart is fortwo Cabrio meant, but the car. Finally the front of the knuddeligen two-seater grinst merrily into the world.

In the everyday life the offenherzige Smart is correctly practical, the 2.50 m short Winzling conquers each still so small parking space. In the trunk (until 260 litres) far larger purchase bags disappear, than one would like to believe first. For complete Cabriovergnügen also the two lateral roof pillars can be dismantled and be stowed away in a subject in the trunk flap. The stealing vine between the rear roof columns serves in emergency as overroll bar. When driving it does not disturb. Whether open or closed, the Cabrio is correctly stably. Even if the Smart with its short wheel base plumpst into each deep impact hole, and quietscht nothing rattles. With the topic security it belongs likewise to the completely large ones: ABS, ESP, traction control, four Airbags, and an emergency brake assistant give it in series.

2001 VW Cabrio ABS light On?

I have a 2001 VW Cabrio. It has 58,000+ miles on it. I do not have warranty and the ABS light is on. How can I fix this and know what is going on? Is it expensive to fix?

I have a 2000 VW Beetle 2.0 GLS with 141,000 miles on it.
The ABS light comes on randomly, along with the purple "warm-up" light.

I don't know much about the Cabrio, but I do know that VWs have lots of issues with the dashboard lights. The wiring inside of VWs is complicated, and apparently it makes the dashboard lights go haywire.

I've heard of people paying a decent amount of money to have it fixed, only for it to come back on three months later.

I've just let mine go, and it hasn't caused any major problems for me.
I think my ABS light comes on most often in the summer time, when I'm running the air conditioning. The brakes also tend to vibrate when this happens. I had the brakes checked and they said it looks okay, and it's probably just a sensor out.

So I guess to answer your question, it's a sensor or wiring issue. Yes, it'll be expensive to fix, because its a VW, and realize that it'll probably come back on shortly after you have it fixed. Talk to someone OUTSIDE of the VW dealership, because they just want your money. Have your brakes checked.

Good luck, sorry I can't help you more. I haven't gotten it resolved myself.
