Kwa masiku anayi ndinasamutsidwa ndi Smart Fortwo kupita ku zenizeni zofanana. Fuko lanzeru linapereka moni nati: talandiridwa ku fuko.
Palibe magalimoto ambiri ngati Smart Fortwo, ndipo si chifukwa cha mawonekedwe a thupi. The Smart Fortwo ndi yosiyana pazifukwa zina. Pali magalimoto ochepa omwe amafotokoza momveka bwino za moyo wina wa eni ake monga Smart. Mtundu wolumikizidwa ku mafashoni, zamakono, zamatauni, zamakono ndi zonse zomwe social-tech-gourmet-hipster-não-sei-das-quantas lexicon. Mwachidule, cholumikizidwa ndi chilichonse chomwe munthu ngati ine, pafupi ndi zaka zake za 30, wopanda ulesi wambiri, wobadwa ndikuleredwa m'malire a Alentejo, amakhala ndi zovuta pakutchetcha. Inde ndikudziwa! Sikuti eni ake onse anzeru ali chonchi, chifukwa Smart Fortwo ndi Forfour zatsopano zikuwoneka kuti zikusangalatsa anthu azaka zonse…
"(...) chiyamikiro chabwino kwambiri chomwe ndingapereke Smart Fortwo yatsopano ndikuti imachita ngati Wanzeru mtawuni komanso ngati galimoto wamba pamsewu"
Smart Fortwo ndi yosiyana chifukwa imatitengera ku zenizeni zofanana. Zowona pomwe madalaivala a Smart apatsana moni, amagwedezana ndikumwetulira. Ndimatopa kukwera magalimoto osiyanasiyana, koma izi!, iyi imanyamula kusiyana kwa eni ake. Ndibwerezanso: si eni ake onse, ndinapeza masuti ambiri akuluakulu. Koma kupitiriza kukhala si choncho.
Ndinali nditalemba kale kuti ndizoseketsa momwe anthu a Smart amachitira ngati fuko. Amakhala ndi maphwando, misonkhano, etc. Ndipo tsopano, kwa nthawi yoyamba, ndinakhala chondichitikira ichi kuchokera mkati, pamene ine ndinalowa fuko. Ndinamva ngati David Attenborough weniweni yemwe amaphunzira zamoyo watsopano.
Ndikunena kuti zomwe ndakumana nazo mwina zinali zamphamvu kwambiri chifukwa chakuti Smart Fortwo iyi ndi yatsopano (ilibe 100km yophimbidwa) ndipo ili ndi mtundu wosagwirizana, sindikudziwa. Chowonadi ndi chakuti ndinapeza ubale ndi chifundo chomwe ndinalandira kuchokera kwa madalaivala ambirimbiri omwe anasankha Fortwo ngati njira yawo yonyamulira zoseketsa, ngati akundiuza kuti "welcome ku club, oh newbie".
Monga mutu wa mayesowa ukusonyezera, sindinali kugunda mpira ndi Fortwo. Kuphatikiza pa kumasuka kwa kuyimitsidwa, kudalirika kwa titanic kwa mitundu ya CDI komanso kugwiritsa ntchito, sindimatha kumvetsetsa chifukwa chake anthu a 'madzi odzaza madzi' amakumana ndi vuto la kuyimitsidwa, kuchepa kwa bokosi la gear komanso machitidwe oyipa a m'badwo woyamba wa galimoto yomwe siinatero inali yotsika mtengo.
Ndi m'badwo wachiwiri, zinthu zayenda bwino kwambiri koma sizinali zokwanira kuti mlembi wanu wautumiki asinthe malingaliro ake. Koma ine, Smart Fortwo inali, koposa zonse, mawonekedwe amunthu - otchedwa social-tech-gourmet-hipster-chilichonse.
Zinali choncho, koma ine ndinasiya kukhala. Smart Fortwo yachitatu iyi, yopangidwa mogwirizana ndi Renault, idadumphadumpha kwambiri. Mofanana ndi makonzedwe ake oyambirira, imakhalabe yothandiza komanso yosavuta kuyimitsa, koma mosiyana ndi izo, tsopano imagwira bwino pamsewu ndipo imakhala yabwino.
Mu mtundu uwu wokhala ndi injini ya 90hp 0.9 turbo yokhala ndi gearbox yapawiri-clutch imatumizidwanso, osati m'mizinda komanso pamsewu. Ndizomvetsa chisoni kuti kumwa kwambiri, nthawi zonse kumakhala pamwamba pa malita 6 - ngakhale kumwa kotereku kungakhale kokhudzana ndi kutsika kwa mtunda wa unit. Momwemonso, bokosi la giya wapawiri-clutch limayeneranso kukhala lapakati, mwachangu kuposa mawonekedwe a ECO komanso ocheperako kuposa mawonekedwe a SPORT.
Kupitiliza kusanthula kwamphamvu, chiyamikiro chabwino chomwe ndingapereke Smart Fortwo yatsopano ndikuti imakhala ngati Smart yeniyeni mtawuni komanso ngati galimoto wamba pamsewu. Chinachake ndithu chosafikirika ndi mibadwo yam'mbuyo. Injini ya 90hp ndiyokwanira koma ndimayesa kunena kuti mtundu wa 71hp udzasinthidwa kwambiri.
Mtawuni, ndizomwe tikudziwa. Zosavuta kuyendetsa bwino ndipo zimayika mu dzenje lililonse. Utali wozungulira ndi wawung'ono kwambiri kotero kuti Fortwo pafupifupi imadzitembenukira yokha. Ponena za sutikesi, zokwanira 99% za zosowa za tsiku ndi tsiku.
Mkati, mapulasitiki onse ndi olimba ndipo zigawo za gulu la Renault-Nissan ndizokhazikika. Komabe, kusonkhana sikusokoneza kwambiri ndipo mapangidwe ake ndi ouziridwa kwambiri. Mumakhala bwino m'ngalawa ya Chijeremani chaching'ono chokhala ndi mawu achi French. Kuyendetsa galimoto sikunali kokonda kwanga, koma liyenera kukhala vuto langa chifukwa anzanga onse omwe amayendetsa Smart ankakonda "kukwera kumeneko" - osati anyamata, Smart si galimoto ya amayi.
Zosankha makonda, monga nthawi zonse, ndi zazikulu. Mitundu yambiri yamitundu yakunja imaphatikizidwa ndi kuthekera kwakukulu mkati, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kuti ma Fortwos awiri akhale ofanana ndendende. Mtengo wagawoli siwokopa kwambiri: 16,295 mayuro (zonse zagawoli apa). Mtengo womwe munthu angayembekezere pafupifupi zinthu zofunikira monga nyali zakumutu zoyatsa zokha, mwachitsanzo. Pamatumba olemera pang'ono, Smart Fortwo ikupezeka kuchokera ku 10,950 euros ndi injini ya 71hp 1.0 ndi gearbox yamanja (tebulo lamitengo pano).
Ndikuvomereza kuti nditayenda naye masiku ano, ndinayamba kukonda mfundoyi. Ine ndekha, yemwe adati sindimakonda Smart Fortwo. Mwina tsiku lina ndidzabwerera ku fukoli… Ndikusowa malo mu dzenje lililonse, ndikudumpha mumsewu komanso kukhala wosiyana.
