@VeloxStang I have one of these cars and a dodge 2500 5.9 that will pull your truck around town. But nice to know what people that drive a Government Motors vehicle driving abilities are. I would however trade you my crap transmission in my dodge for your allison but that duramax is only worth the metal its made with. Anyone in construction that pulls heavy machinery around here - if it is not a low-boy, uses a dodge.
@14omega28ok I did it. I have a dodge 2500 was my daily driver. I got a loaded smart car also and my wife has a mercedes s500. I own a large construction company here in Texas and I use it to go check my jobs around town. At first people think its different - then they think its smart (I save 800 dollars a month compared to diesel.) I still use my truck when I need, but now it stays clean and detailed and use it when necessary. My note is 300 a month nothing down. It was a no brainer for me
Just got back from Berlin, almost 400 miles east from where I live. No problems at the German motorways at all. My Smart handles quite nice at 85 mph. The seats are comfortable enough for a number of hours driving.
Since I was traveling alone, there was room enough for all my luggage, including a tent, a sizable sleeping bag, an air mattress and a folding bike, inside the car.

Here in the Uk all Smarties have the softtouch gearbox which means you can have the option of putting it into fully automatic mode by the touch of a button on the side of the gear stick or you can use the box like a normal manual but as with all Smarts there is no clutch to worry about as the gearbox is all controlled with a very sophisticated electrical motor.
@Krazzy989 u can shift the car 3 different ways, you can manually shift it with paddles at the steering wheel or u can use the shift lever to shift, or if your want, then u can just put it in drive and the car will shift by itself like other cars, the shifting is unique though and it will take getting use to...
I dont get it. I had an 86 Toyota wagon that got 40 mpg and it was much larger than this. The diesel Rabbit got 50mpg. These were mede 20 + yrs ago. Why do we have to go to a goofy looking micro car to get just a few mpg more?
More Americans are choosing smaller cars as an alternative because of the economy, gas, and the parking. I would prefer a Mini Cooper or Toyota Yaris hatchback before this car.
@T0MMY561 Excelent! It's my first car, I have a passion cabro. It's cheap and easy to maintain (takes about 30 minutes to clean it from top to bottom) Great on gas, reliable, has enough room to fit whatever you need on a normal day, it's not a super performance car or anything but you don't really need that. I highly recommend one
The driving experience is so addictive and the build quality being totally owned by Mercedes is too a very high standard
I own a Passion CDi diesel the engine that all of you across the pond wish Mercedes would introduce.
Take a test drive and forget about the talk that the car is not safe because it is extremely strong and here in Europe it has won the coveted 4 star rating for crashing testing up there with the BMW Mini.
@T0MMY561 I have a Smart as my first car, I live in Boston, it's great, surprisingly comfortable car for it's size although I wouldn't do a long trip in it. The MPG is definitely a plus, when all my friends fill up their big ass SUV's I get to remind them that it costs me about $20 to fill up my car. I believe Smart quotes them with getting about 30 MPG, I get around 50. It is also plenty safe, I got hit by a Mini Van at about 40 MPH and I drove home from it. You can get a used one on the cheap
Had my Smart for nearly two years and i still love driving it everywhere in the Northern Virginia area which is where i live. BTW to those who say the SUV is safer, did you not pay attention to that photo seen with the roof crushed in? These cars are tougher than you all think, and many have survived in a huge accident in one of these cars, and yes it is a joy to drive.
I want one so bad! Already made the trip to St Louis to see one in person, soon as spring is here going back to trade in the Hyundai! Hope I can get used to going from 145 HP Tiburon to SMART car is all. used to fast acceleration.
Check out the crash tests done by the British TV show "Fith Gear", they rammed a smartcar head on into a solid concrete wall at 70mph and it survived very well, these things are tougher than you would believe, I doubt the Ford woulds stand up as well as the smartcar did to a 70mph head on into concrete
well guys i am from greece and i am satisfied with the car...despite i hadn't driven it yet..but there a question arise,what makes the car so costly?i greece the price for the basic one is a 10500 euro..with the same money you can buy a better one...like toyota iq
yes friend i know....but i think that despite its manufactured bu mercendes benz tha reliability isnt like a mercendes benz car.....it has a non mercendes machine and it also burns much fuel:( although well done..good car
it's fine, i got the first in my state, i've had it 21 months as a daily driver, only problem was in cold weather with the safety lock on the brake switch, it failed at -4F, warmer it's fine. was replaced, talked personally to d. schembri @ smart to fix it. (pres of smart usa)
the ride is a little harsh on rougher roads with stock tires, otherwise it's GREAT!
I love my ForTwo. The 3 cylinder engine loves to be driven hard, it sounds like a small sports car when you kickdown the gears. Has a love rumble to the exhaust.
Hey come on now. BIG cars are for people who are over 6 feet tall. i could fit into one of those things, i have a hard enough time getting in and out of a ford taurus.
I drive a Mazda6, but I did sit in a SMART Car and it was actually comfortable, but it felt like I was riding in a car that was cut in half, because the back window was RIGHT behind me.
i only worry about idiots who tailgate me, i installed a rear brake light flasher, that seems to keep most ppl off my ass, otherwise, i love my smart!
@zickaka They say there is no safety compromise but since the frame stays rigid, your body and organs get slammed forward in a crash very quickly and there is no crush room to slow your speed down before that happens. They really are more dangerous for drivers inside. I totally understand them for slower speed commuting but it would take a lot to get me to take one on a freeway every day.
@TheDemonStr You sick inbred Bastard, go fuck your granddad in his ass until he screams for plea, then cum in your sisters mouth while sucking on your mothers tits!
Shut the fuck up, you cant even write English properly you anging grease!
@zickaka I have a smart car and a huge dodge truck and a mercedes s500. Its all economical. But people that knock smart cars do not understand the reason people like me have one - I drive 300 miles a day, around subdivisions, checking all the crews in my company. It is just me, and a laptop and my navigation. When I need my diesel truck I take it. But this car saves me 700 dollars in gas a month. I was spending 1200+ a month in diesel alone.
When dealing with prostitutes, I recommend the Mini Cooper. There is room to fold the seat backs so you can create a little bed to lay your prostitute on.
I get mine next week :-) 19 Male, Australia ECS And Hill Start Assist CD - Player aircon electric sunroof and like omfg... What more can you want for $15,000AU
Cheaper than a SUV, Or Hyundai Excel / I30 plus more safety and features. I can't wait. PEOPLE SHOULDNT DIS THE SMART Car until they have driven one, so smooth and powerful and i love the sound of the engine its like a mini jaguar/bmw roar.
u couold get tons of cars like this in india pakistan bangladesh and other third world countries for around 12 thousand dollars. fully loaded!!!
this is a joke,anyone who buys this is an idiot or a showoff. you know how they tell u 'less is more' well its not for u its for the companies,they make more buy selling u less.
i can c the type of ppl who'l buy this wd be ppl who pay 5 dollars 4 a cup of coffee n stand in long lines at starbucks n then say we shd conserve.
Well how about you take your SUV head on with an 80k-lb semi and see how safe you are. These cars are as safe as any. A head on collision in any vehicle is not going to be good, even in your SUV.
@kfox66 Bigger cars are generally safer. I would hate to be in a Smart that got hit by a mini cooper. The Smart would be totalled and you would be lucky to escape alive haha.
The truth, it seems to me, is that YouTube is a bastion for America bashing. I'm beginning to think that Europeans and the rest of the world is really insecure and jealous of the USA and secretly would love to be more like us!
Sorry dude, it's the truth!
P.S. Has Belgium gotten its government thing straightened out yet...I mean with all of you big brains and all.
awesome car..im getting one really soon..but somethin id like to know is does anyone know what kind of fuel this thing takes in?? an answer would be greatly appreciated..
hmm to the people that think the fortwo is a ''gay'' car you are obviously retarded so go ahead be stupid and buy a gas guzzling car and never have money because you spend it on gas because gas is expensive
1653lbs? The website says more like 1800lbs. Easy getting on the interstate? Sounded like he had to constantly redline the thing just to stay with traffic.
:D -BWAHAHA! That was funny argon3! I didn't want to ask about that. I figured, Austin was the last stop on this multi-city tour. He had probably been though a lot in that time... including, who knows? A drunken dive into a swimming pool? A bar brawl? A test-drive incident? We can only speculate.
I looked at them, and for a family car it would be great, but for me it I needed a car to get back and forth to work, alone. Buying the Prius would have meant I was giving up about 10 years of free gas for the Smart due to the price difference. It's all in the math.
This car definitely has a fun factor and makes a statement about progressive thinking. However, I don't see them becoming maintstream in the US anytime soon. Americans are still stuck on SUVs and big trucks. Those folks aren't likely to go for a Smart. Also, the fuel economy is dissapointing considering it's minute size. My 11yr old American economy car with a 2.0L 4cyl gets 35mpg hwy, not to mention is a wagon so it has LOADS more cargo space. The Smart is fun, but the specs are a let down.
It's a cool idea, but honestly, how practical is this car? Sure it's cheap, but so is a bike. If you need to haul any cargo bigger than a backpack and light groceries, you're SOL. Also, with that high profile and skinny
tires, I'd hate to drive that at highway speeds in a crosswind. My 2004 Accent has a real trunk and a backseat, and I still get 33-35 combined City/Highway. I'd personally rather have a motorcycle for ultra cheap commuting. To each their own I guess.
After lookin at the specs on this POS, I have realized what a scam it is. First off, it weighs almost a ton. Secondly, it only gets 41 MPG. Third, it requires premium fuel. I just bought a 2008 Honda Civic EX sedan that gets 36 MPG on regular fuel. Has more power, room and looks way better. Also, these things aren't gonna be cheap to purchase. And what will it's resale value be? A car of this type should get well over 50 MPG which it does not. It's nothing to get excited about.
Your Civic is getting 34Hwy with a manual trans, and 36Hwy with the auto, according to US Dept of Energy. The Smart is getting 33 cty/41 Hwy... Your Civic retails for $18,710 the Smart is $13,590. Really they are not even in the same class anyway, so its pointless to compare them. You either want a car like the Smart or not. I do agree it should be getting 50 MPG, but unfortunatly the EPA makes the diesel version not avail in the usa... The diesel verion is getting 60+ MPG but is slower too.
It's not built for speed. Though if you wanted one for racing you could do that. It would likely blow the doors off any of your friends Honda Civics. Look up "Smart Diablo" here on YouTube and you'll see what I mean.
im 19 and i get mine next week, the 07 model. its cool....leather black seats which are heated and a proper mercedes music system inside rather than the origanal. but hey atleast i can say im driving a mercedes!. :)
ahhh im from the uk man......but still it was only £5995 which i will pay monthly with the job i have as a photographic sales assistant. but yea i was very lucky, it was at the mercedes store in the next city and i was shocked to find that it was that cheap. with what it had in i would have thought it would have been a bit more and its only done jsut over 30,000 miles!. Itsthe dark blue colour as well.
I take it your very into the cars?.... write back.
Actuallllly... more into scooters. But, I love microcars. I say that the Smart is an honorary 4-wheeled scooter.
Congrats on your good deal! Good to here you upgraded the stereo. I didn't really have an issue with the existing system, but I'm a big fan of GREAT sound.
its petrol and the passion model....its gunna turn out well, i dont know the full history of the speakers but all i know is they were fitted with the proper mercedes speakers. ill have to see what that sounds like. mabe some time next week i can get some images of it for you to see?.....its not done up like a bad boy car XD it looks no different from the 07 serise but ill show you the inside. only thjing i could have done with is a jack to plug my archos into :(
You are so PATHETIC and LAME, I've checked your blogs and like I said, you're throwing rocks and living in a glass house. You're too stupid to understand. I do like you're hit and run tactics, making a comments and hoping for no response. Talk about whinning. Geeze, you take the cake.
the guy even brought his momo helmet in case of a flip or whatsoever LOL..."mommy i'm too scared to overtake the bike in front me coz i got a brand new liter engine"...
Newt718: My earlier smart car comments were in response to a generalized (and incorrect) statement from another poster. It's only viewed as whining to you because it doesn't support your perspective.
Your spelling and grammar is even more pathetic. Thanks for your assumptions, but they are irrelevant and off the mark. You're the sad one, searching through "blogs" to read specific posts... ha ha ha, loser.
You're living in a glass house and throwing rocks.

By that logic you'd never get a motorcycle, a cool convertible 2- seat sports car, a bike, roller skates, a Segway or a uni-cycle. The Smart has it's place, nicht war?
Thank goodness the 1st posotive review for this car on YouTube.

That panoramic plexiglass roof you see above their heads is simply amazing.
If you close the sliding blind that prevents the harsh sunshine from obscuring your view then the interior miraculously shrinks.
Open the blind letting in the light again and the interior grows again.
In the Uk this plexiglass roof is optional on the Pulse model but standard on the Passion and Brabus.
As £210 it a must have accessory as it is what makes the little Smart such a joy to drive.

@zickaka I have a smart car and a huge dodge truck and a mercedes s500. Its all economical. But people that knock smart cars do not understand the reason people like me have one - I drive 300 miles a day, around subdivisions, checking all the crews in my company. It is just me, and a laptop and my navigation. When I need my diesel truck I take it. But this car saves me 700 dollars in gas a month. I was spending 1200+ a month in diesel alone.

When dealing with prostitutes, I recommend the Mini Cooper. There is room to fold the seat backs so you can create a little bed to lay your prostitute on.

Well how about you take your SUV head on with an 80k-lb semi and see how safe you are. These cars are as safe as any. A head on collision in any vehicle is not going to be good, even in your SUV.
kfox66 3 years ago 14
@kfox66 Bigger cars are generally safer. I would hate to be in a Smart that got hit by a mini cooper. The Smart would be totalled and you would be lucky to escape alive haha.

@ChrisW12208
Bigger cars are generally safer but not always.
Think of a NASCAR racer with a 54Hp CDI diesel and that the Smart is.
Mercedes have developed their Tridion Safety cell that protects every Smart owner to be one of the strongest in its class.
The crumple zone of the roof on any Smart is even stronger than the BMW Mini.
The Smart may be small but blimey it's a safe little car

2. GAS

muffandpuff 3 years ago
I looked at them, and for a family car it would be great, but for me it I needed a car to get back and forth to work, alone. Buying the Prius would have meant I was giving up about 10 years of free gas for the Smart due to the price difference. It's all in the math.
zackgreer 3 years ago
This car definitely has a fun factor and makes a statement about progressive thinking. However, I don't see them becoming maintstream in the US anytime soon. Americans are still stuck on SUVs and big trucks. Those folks aren't likely to go for a Smart. Also, the fuel economy is dissapointing considering it's minute size. My 11yr old American economy car with a 2.0L 4cyl gets 35mpg hwy, not to mention is a wagon so it has LOADS more cargo space. The Smart is fun, but the specs are a let down.
palebeachbum 3 years ago
It's a cool idea, but honestly, how practical is this car? Sure it's cheap, but so is a bike. If you need to haul any cargo bigger than a backpack and light groceries, you're SOL. Also, with that high profile and skinny
tires, I'd hate to drive that at highway speeds in a crosswind. My 2004 Accent has a real trunk and a backseat, and I still get 33-35 combined City/Highway. I'd personally rather have a motorcycle for ultra cheap commuting. To each their own I guess.
greatbison 3 years ago 4
After lookin at the specs on this POS, I have realized what a scam it is. First off, it weighs almost a ton. Secondly, it only gets 41 MPG. Third, it requires premium fuel. I just bought a 2008 Honda Civic EX sedan that gets 36 MPG on regular fuel. Has more power, room and looks way better. Also, these things aren't gonna be cheap to purchase. And what will it's resale value be? A car of this type should get well over 50 MPG which it does not. It's nothing to get excited about.
blakhaus 3 years ago
Your Civic is getting 34Hwy with a manual trans, and 36Hwy with the auto, according to US Dept of Energy. The Smart is getting 33 cty/41 Hwy... Your Civic retails for $18,710 the Smart is $13,590. Really they are not even in the same class anyway, so its pointless to compare them. You either want a car like the Smart or not. I do agree it should be getting 50 MPG, but unfortunatly the EPA makes the diesel version not avail in the usa... The diesel verion is getting 60+ MPG but is slower too.

It's not built for speed. Though if you wanted one for racing you could do that. It would likely blow the doors off any of your friends Honda Civics. Look up "Smart Diablo" here on YouTube and you'll see what I mean.

Itsthe dark blue colour as well.

"It is quiet a bit of power for a 1600 pound car."
71 horsepower? No, the power to weight ratio is awful no matter how light it is.
Notice also how it downshifts every time he speeds up at all on the highway. That's real great for fuel economy and engine durability.
