Smart Car Rentals and Mercedes Smart Car Review

Jump into a sporty and comfortable Mercedes Smart Car. If you're looking to hear something negative about the Smart Car, look somewhere else. The Mercedes Smart Car is an ingenious piece of automotive engineering. Super-compact, drivable, comfortable, stylish, and safe, the Smart Car is at the forefront of an automotive revolution. As you climb behind the wheel of your Smart Car Rentals vehicle, throw away any misconceptions you might have had...and enjoy the ride.

Myth Number 1: Smart Cars aren't spacious

That's right, measuring just over 250 centimeters, or 98 inches in length, and 5 feet high, the Smart Car is remarkably spacious. Inside the cabin of your Smart Car Rentals vehicle, you'll find that there is ample room to stretch your legs and store your bags. Featuring a small exterior appearance, the interior has large doors and ample room to store your luggage behind the seats and in the hatch.

Myth Number 2: A car that small, can't be safe

The Smart Car is misleading at first glance. No one would expect a vehicle this small, to be this strong. Known as a crash box, every Smart Car Rentals vehicle comes with front and rear steel bumpers that are fastened to beams that run along the side of the car. This is literally a shield for you and your passengers. On braking tests, the Smart Car also scores extremely high. Even in the snow, the Smart Car has been proven to perform. Deceiving? Yes. Deceivingly safe? You can bet on it. The Smart Car comes standard with anti-lock brakes and electronic brake-force distribution control. Another standard feature on your Smart Car Rentals vehicle is driver and passenger front and side airbags. The next time you visit New York City, drive a safe and sporty Smart Car Rentals vehicle.

Put the car in gear and GO

Turn tight corners and steal the last parking spot. You've heard the hype, now it's time to get behind the wheel and drive. The Smart Car has surprising power accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour in roughly 11 seconds. Whether you choose an automatic or standard transmission, the Smart Car has an extremely tight turning radius and you can park almost anywhere. The Smart Car was designed for nose first parking. In other words, you can park a Smart Car lengthwise in the width of a normal parking spot. The only downfalls in the driving of a Smart Car are that the steering wheel is not adjustable and your view while in reverse is restricted. Not to worry, the innumerable positive driving features in your Smart Car Rentals vehicle will make up for these miniscule blemishes.

It's time to get eco-friendly

In a world quickly being destroyed and polluted by deforestation, industrialization, and emissions, the Smart Car is a breath of fresh air. Featuring an eco-friendly design, the Smart Car is at the forefront of a new wave of low emission vehicles. Not only is the Smart Car fuel efficient, but it also requires fewer resources to build because of its small size. As for fuel economy, the Smart Car is one of the top vehicles on the market. In the city, your Smart Car Rentals vehicle will achieve approximately 33 miles per gallon, while on the highway, the Smart Car can travel approximately 41 miles per gallon of gasoline. As well, a new all electric version of the Smart Car is in production. Feel good about your Smart Car Rentals adventure. When you choose a Smart Car Rentals vehicle from Action New York Car Rentals, you'll know you're getting an excellent vehicle, and that you're being proactive towards a healthier environment.
