Hi, I wanted meal to know your opinion: Is the Smart ForTwo something for beginners? KOsten and safety speak, I think at least (???), yes for it – I doubt about it, but when it comes to switching – no matter if softtip or softtouch, you forget to switch the “right” again as a newcomer, right?

Hello guys, I really want to have a smart CDI. Unfortunately I only have a small budget and must also finance, therefore dealer! I now have a Suzuki dealer who has a SMART and that is a very good opinion. BJ. 03.2001 with 31 TKM, climate, soft-tocuh automatic; shell seats and is very well maintained. Has had an older lady. I get new AU/HU plus fresh intake and warranty for 6100Euro. Engine is very clean. That fits me very well with the KM because I have to have a smart CDI. so that a few KMs can be scraped down 😉 What do you think about it?? Is that still from the price?? Thank you very much. Greetings

Hello together, we consider the purchase of a Smart ForTwo as a second car – likes to be a convertible CDi. And that’s exactly what I have a question for the professionals here in the forum: The trunk is of course not big – no question (can you call it that at all?). But how are the dimensions between Coupe and Cabrio, is the base area identical? Does anyone even have the exact dimensions? Do the famous two water boxes fit into the convertible case space? The volume of 150 l sc in both cases to be the same. Then maybe a few tips to a possible smart newcomer: I plan the purchase of a Smart ForTwo Convertible, gladly as CDi. The model year should be at least 2003 (wg. chassis, ESP, etc.), mileage max. 50,000 (offers per PN are welcome!). What else should one pay attention to? Thanks for your answers, tips and suggestions!

Hey people, I’d like to get a smart fortwo soon and love it with the economical diesel. I’ll mainly use it to commute 4 years about 130km via highway. My questions: 1. How much should it have maximum on the clock? 2. What do you think of this Powercap Chiptuning adapter set? thus the fuel consumption or life time of the engine decreases? 3. Does the engine on long distance really consume only 3,4l 4. Is there a model series that is known for hoarse reps 5. How much can used with 50tkm max. cost? Thanks already for answers!

Hello Smart community, I think about buying a Smart and I found one after my wishes accordingly. Here’s the link:http://www.autoscout24.de/…/detail.asp?… How do you find the ? What do you say to the 91,000km too much ? How about the price ? What is an Air Conditioning Plus ? I don’t know about Smarts at all it would really help me if you could write something about it because I’m going to look at the car tomorrow. Thank you

My buddy has now bought such a “Smart for four” “car”, nobody knows exactly why! Recently we went to three men with the object to Metz, that was cruel. The comrade who was sitting in the back would have needed trombose stockings or preventive syringes to hold the 600 km drive. The thing is the purest harassment ! If you want to open the windows, then you will find the corresponding four operating units somewhere between the front seats. nn additionally covered by the middle armrest, that is not possible at all! It constantly beeps in the thing – not strapped on, hand in the pants or plucked – the suitcase aum is a better glove compartment, the tank indicator is not usable, a temperature indicator for the coolant is missing ! The tacho is a joke, just like the tank content. Who refuels in Luxembourg needs an enormous tank ! *grins* Of the disadvantages that the low ground clearance brings with it, better not report at all. Only the engine, which seems to be quite nice (1.5l diesel 95 hp) if the but lettuce oil swallows ? *laughs* Greeting from the critical driver world !

Hello, after a long time of smiling at the Smart 42 (excuse me – in hindsight I am very sorry) I could say after a test drive: The car is great….it is indescribable! Now I have struggled with me for a long time, have driven a Fiat Brava in the last 7 years which is actually still quite ok and reliable, but my resistance was broken when I saw Him: smart 42 convertible in stream-green, EZ:10/2001, 61 hp, 23000 km… mer! I bought it, pick it up (if everything works out) on Tuesday…but my joy didn’t last long when I looked into this forum: Achsbruch, engine damage (mostly on models before 2003 when I read correctly), various other defects……Oh NO! I have a right to return, but actually I wanted to keep this pretty little bag until the scrap is passed on to us? And that shouldn’t be in the near future. Of course every car has a “weh-wehchen” from time to time, but vo Now I would like to know from experienced smart drivers: How do I do everything right? What should I consider? Are there “typical” flaws (or also childhood diseases) that should be kept in mind? I would like to enjoy my vehicle for a long time and to give the smart (he was only in good hands! ;o) a nice life to prepare… so please tell me a few tips and tricks so that I can sleep quietly again. Thank you. Dear greetings, SMARTeLady

I’m on a fuel saving competition soon. There are smarts put with which everyone then drives a just 20km long distance. Now I need a few general and car related tips. Gahren is with a petrol 1.3 95ps switch transmission via boardcomputer then comes to the final bill. What is so the ideal speed range that the engine still manages well? So shortly before nibbling off? Extreme creeping (~30kmh is unfortunately not approved – just like increased air pressure) How do I best behave when it comes to a red ampel? Motor brake or still foot brake? I heard about the engine brake is not injected in the opposite to the foot brake in modern cars. I am grateful for all further tips.
