Love the review! Just picked one of these up as a daily driver. The last owner was a super cool guy and decided to drill some holes in the muffler. Volume = Horse Power
I love my '13 Smart. Years ago I thought they were ridiculous, but I picked mine up a few months ago as kind of an impulse buy, and I love it. I'm going to put a hitch on mine so I can pull around my trailer I use to haul motorcycle. I'm pretty sure the HP on these is actually 70 HP, not 64 like Griffin thought. I do a mix of city and highway driving, drive semi-aggressively, and still average about 35 MPG. I'm sure if I babied it I could come close to 40 MPG.
the Porsche badge tho! 🤣🤣🤣 btw the amount of "Smartcars" we have here in Italy but even tho they could make sense here bc we have tiny streets, I still find them odd haha
Is it true what I read online about the Smart that service and parts are difficult to find whenever it may need it? I'd go for the Smart, pre-owned of course, but the issues I described make yours truly leery in finally pulling the trigger, so to speak, on purchasing one. Your thoughts, please, and thanks! Peace...🙏♐
Not really, maintenance is extremely on these. Two bottles of trans fluid and about 4qts of oil, 3 sparks plugs. Would recommend to do a compression test before buying one
Wrong way to start! (Turn the key and release). Speed bumps will damage your springs, especially with a passenger. Reset the transmission, by unplugging the battery. It adapts to your driving, you don't know how it was driven before.
Hello sirs, thanks for your videos to give me some good perspectives on my thoughts about buying a smart car to fight with crazy gas prices, environmental friendly, easier to maneuver, park, etc. what would be a good all-electric car, 4 seats but very compact, with the roof is mildly round (I want to put some rack on the car roof in case travel needs some storage); I can afford mainly first time used car. Please advice some makes and brands.
I think you should name your next one 1 idiot, 2 cars and just attempt a review of both. Like two similar cars are identical except for the E powertrain... Like your R8....
This is why Mercedes should never have exported Smart cars to the USA... Best designed car of the day and totally misunderstood... especially in America.
