Have a “happy problem” – the decision between Coupé and Cabrio. What do you think about differences besides the following points: convertible might be a bit more confusing (smaller rear window), has no rear window wiper, a more sensitive roof compared to the panoramic roof (tree resin, bird puke, wash road), has a less accessible trunk (no foldable glass pane). Is the convertible also louder than the coupé? How “fummely” is the dismantling of the roof bars or Do you mind that the back side windows aren’t retractable?

Hi Together, I’m interested in buying a Smart ForTwo 453 90 HP Turbo, But I don’t trust total consumption 4.2 liters/100 km from manufacturer !!! That’s why I have a question at all owners this Smart, In average how many km can you make with a full tank gasoline ??? (with 28 or 35 liters) Thanks in advance on your answer !

Hello all, I have a brand new Smart 453 with Automatic and it is after first impression a nice vehicle. Now I do yesterday the first longer ride on the highway and suddenly comes in the Tachodisplay a fat error message ‘Disruption operating instructions and the light symbol’, the vehicle light goes on, but can no longer be switched off, high-light and light horn no longer go and the touch screen goes on night lighting. So right out, ignition off, 10 seconds g waiting, ignition on, everything back to normal. The whole 3x on 400 km drive. Note the operating instructions says nothing about it. Do you have an Idea? Greetings Crossbow77

Hello guys, got me an annual car with 9,000 KM from Smart about 2 months ago, this one unfortunately makes several problems, now I wanted to ask if these are known ?! It is about the Prime Model with 71 HP. 1. Backward gear sometimes does not go very bad (with nice noise) 2. Parking distance control just goes off, although nothing is in the way (in reverse driving) 3. The roof sky is strangely coloured, as if the glue comes through 4. As soon as the climate runs the part consumes 8-9 liters with normal driving mode and jerks partly when accelerating Can you report similar ? Greetings

Moin, I drive a 2017 convertible, 90 hp. When changing the winter tyres, I noticed that the brake discs are completely worn out. How can this be after 26,000 km? I feel hummed, because I bought the car with 20500km and there was a workshop service just before the purchase. The seller told me: “If you pick up your smart from us, then you don’t need the next 20,000 km to service”. Now I drove 5500 km in 10 months and already have to brake new 🙁

Hey, in February 2018 I took over a used fortwo 453 from 01/2017 71hp, before delivery the service A was carried out at the time 2400Km. This received in June 2018 a new steering and an engine-date on warranty. The smart warranty ended on 01/2019 from then there is the warranty extension of the car-guarantee until 01/2020. To maintain this warranty the car-guarantee requires the annual service. As a trained car-ler I take over all the necessary work on our vehicles He currently has 6800km on the clock. Now, interior filters, engine air filters and engine oil would have to be changed, which could be done easily by himself. I received the cheapest service price from a small workshop with 189 € for the so-called Service B. Now please tell me what is really done for this money, which works have to be done at this mileage absolutely ?? Have already done is thinking about doing this myself and letting it happen, or is that not recommended from your point of view? By the end of the year I will perhaps drive 1500km, what serious damage could be expected by then, where are the weak points that I absolutely have to consider? Would be grateful for your advice.

Hello together, because of interest I was interested in the ca prices of young used Smart – and find this expensive! My current Coupe is a 451 84ps Passion from 2013. Very good equipment with not all but many extras (list new price were about 18,000eur). Purchased at Mercedes, was at that time just over 3 years approved, 33tkm driven and cost 7800eur incl 1 year warranty. I would see the 453 90ps twinamic as the corresponding successor from the current series. W If I’m looking for cars from 2015-2016 with 25-40tkm, the offers are from 8800-12000eur. Apart from Coupe and Automatik, there are not even further restrictions (equipment). Even if I got my 451 cheaply, and in 2016 also the 453 was already on the market, I find the quoted prices already expensive, even inflation adjusted. I would be interested whether you share the impression or how you feel about it?
