The year is slowly coming to an end, it’s time to raise the winter tires again. We hope you’ve come through the year with your mobile kit so far! And to find out if that’s the case, we want to start a small survey again in 2011. As every year, the manufacturers have done a lot to interest us drivers in their products and services and to satisfy their customers. But: How satisfied were you with your car completely subjectively ? Or with the service that every car needs every now and then? So: How was it, your personal car year 2011? Since most manufacturers not only regularly read along on MOTOR-TALK, but are also in contact with us, we are going with the survey result as well as your praise and your criticism in the comments aimed at the manufacturers. Therefore, in the comments, write what you liked about Smart in general and your Smart in particular in 2011, what is even better and what is more convenient than I was so dazzling!

Hello municipality, looking for a car with low fuel consumption for a work path of 100 km per distance (80 km BAB, 20 km city) is my question: Who has experience with similar driving distances in continuous use with a coupe or (even more interesting) a convertible? Please only diesel experiences. What do you like – what is not so good? What do you think of a heater for the winter? How much capacity does the tank have? Does this make you 1000 km a week? Safety at the Smart is a topic that I can’t assess. But is a rather “feeling” topic. We have a family coach that consumes about 50 Tkm about 8.1 L diesel – I don’t want to use it for 2x 100 km. Thank you for your contributions and greeting, Knut

Hello together, I’ve been a for four, temporary, as a company driver since my company car is in the factory city for a week. I have to say that I made rolling eyes when I learned that I drive this small car almost 10 days MUST now for just under a week I am totally excited and I want to get one. I researched and had to determine that the for four was built only from 2004 to 2006. what I don’t understand?!! I drive a 9 5 ps diesel with full equipment, except navi. on the side stands passion. has leather seats and a huge sliding roof. I came with about 40 liter diesel 1000 km far. na if that is no argument to buy this vehicle ….. !!! he is also full on the road and when I give kick-down it sounds like a motorcycle gas there so I am totally excited about this smart and will definitely buy one, if not even the company car I drive at the moment DARF ! what are the typical flaws of this vehicle ? the for four I drive is an automatic with 95 diesel ps, with leather and large panoramic sliding roof. just one I want to have. what are the flaws ? thanks to you smart drivers !!!

I recently had a new Smart forTwo. Since I am already a thinker, I have ordered the sound package to myself. However, the bass is really not ‘beautiful’ enough for me. That’s why I wanted to install an additional subwoofer now. I took a brochure from the media market around the corner of Magnat. I had either thought about a band pass subwoofer, or a bass reflex subwoofer (no I don’t know the difference). So I thought about a Magnat Edition B30 or an AD 130 Reflex. I know that you need a Hifi amplifier. So I need input, and that’s a lot. Is that possible? Relatively easy without changing much on the smart, installing more subwoofer power? And that’s also best so that it can be removed without any problems without leaving any damage. How do you do that and which material is best? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am looking for a small, very economical 2nd car for small short trips, I am “forced” to buy a reliable car as soon as possible because I finally got a new job and don’t have more like 1500€ at home. What does the small Smart consume? I rarely drive city rather overland and often. The Lupo 1.0l with 50hp consumes about 5.5-6l in mix operation, I think the Smart should top it or? What should I pay attention to? I read a lot of smarts at mobile dr in stands” engine when starting weak” runs only on 2 cylinders, “motor squints”, engine only half power” What does it have to do with it? I thank you in advance for your answer.

Hello guys, am currently looking for a suitable Smart Cabrio. Yesterday an acquaintance offered me the convertible of his mother. I personally keep the price but too high… the following vehicle Smart Cabrio, EZ 06/01 KM 66,000 color silver/silver power ?? no 45 HP… Equipment: climate,El. mirror, El. windows, leather seats, aluminum rims, cassette radio with CD changer Condition: I would give him a 3. Has been used stop by Mutter. On both rear lights is a On the top of the window frame is the “welding seam” on both sides where the metal frame of the disc connected with the columns are torn by the varnish. He told me that this is normal. Is that true? 2. When you open the doors on both sides a scouring spot can be seen where the edge of the plastic cladding around the door handle comes to the body. Do I have it reasonably usable e Priced he said we’d agree somewhere between 4500-5000, and I kind of think that’s too much.

Aloha he, I plan to buy a Smart ForTwo Cabrio with 85hp as a second vehicle from year 08. Ideally it is not black or red and has extras like light package, seating, audio package…. I have already seen a few affordable ones at Mobile and autoscout24 (about 11000-13,000€). Now my questions: – 85hp because I want to overtake here and there. Do I need a lot more fuel with the engine with the same driving style than with the 71Ps’ler? In a test drive I didn’t have the feeling d as there are huge differences. Both from the pull through and from the consumption. But that is subjective…. – There are vehicles offered where the “great service” is due. What does this mean in terms of money? So what can cost such a thing (usually) – What do I have to pay attention to on site?. It becomes my first smart and my first convertible. For further suggestions I am happy to have. Thank you very much in advance Krauti

N’Evening! We need a second car! Among other things, there is a Smart 42 as an annual car as mhd (think, it should have the greatest mechanical reliability). The intended purchase price would be approx. 8,500€ – that should be realized?! What typical weaknesses does the Smart have and what typical weaknesses does the engine have? It will remain our car as much as 150 to 200tkm and it has to tear it down without engine damage or the like! Could it be able to do that? Driving profile would be like this ca. 3km city + 22km country road with ~80km/h + 6km city with a lot of stop ‘n’ Go The CDI is supposed to be rather weak-breasted – I hate that, therefore no diesel at the Smartie! Every now and then a holiday trip and otherwise a lot of country road with 70-90km/h in leisure time.

I have a question. I bought a Smart last August Built 99 with 83,000 on the clock. Now I have big problems with my engine. Came out only black smoke in the back and no more performance. I towed this directly to Mercedes and relied on my used car warranty. I called the seller (dealer) and he told me to have it repaired. The insurance(guarantee) will take care of the damage plus the SB. SB would be in my case at a I can pay 40% myself in parts. Now we start from the worst and I get a new engine (because the personnel costs pay the guarantee, which certainly has to pay less when installing a new engine than when repairing it). That makes just under 500-600 EUR only my excess. Now my question: Why do I buy from the dealer if I have nothing from a used car guarantee? In the end I pay! I bought the car privately, which would probably have cost me less than 1000€, then I would shoot a cheap engine and install it myself (am a mechanic). Now I have paid a guarantee when buying, which in the end does not bring me anything but costs. Is that so right? Because in the end I have nothing of it. This insurance applies only to engine, turbochargers and diff. I am even forced to do my maintenance at a specialist workshop. to let what is again cost!

My smart switches only at high speed into the second gear ! After a few meters drive switches the transmission perfectly ! Is this normal ?? who finds typing errors may keep it !
