2013 smart fortwo passion coupe 2dr Hatchback (1.0L 3cyl 5AM)

I just purchased a Passion coupe for my wife, as she has been very interested in this car ever since it was introduced to the US in 2008. She was driving a 2008 New Beetle Convertible, but reliability issues were making this car a real hassle to maintain. As has been pointed out in countless reviews, the smartfor2 is equipped with a rather bizarre 5-speed automatic transmission which can also be shifted manually via steering wheel mounted paddles or the floor shifter. My wife tends to keep the car in the auto mode and it seems to constantly be shifting; even on relatively small inclines. When I drive the car, I usually use the manual mode. It actually gets better than advertised mileage.

It is a great little car. No it doesn't accelerate quickly, but it definitely gets there. I easily travel 70MPH on the highway in this, but only pass if there is ALOT of room/time to do so because of the lack of quick acceleration. I took it on an 800 mile road trip and it kept up with the best of them. Took the steep hills/mountain passes with ease. Mine is gas powered and automatic. My trip had many very steep hills, wind and even some mountain passes so I only averaged about 40MPG on that trip. However, normally in my day to day life I get 49MPG!! The USB is inconveniently located in the glove box. And after having the car for a MONTH I just learned yesterday that the GAS FLAP locks when the car doors are locked! So...in Oregon where they pump your gas for you (by law) they couldn't open the gas flap, but I had no idea why it was locked until finally I realized it's because the car doors were locked. So...in order to open the gas flap to fill-up you have to use the car key to unlock the doors which also unlocks the gas flap. There are a number of things about this car that are not "explained" in the owners manual (or not explained well), so I'm still figuring it out. But it's a great little car.

I’ve had it a month and it never ceases to surprise me. Where I was concerned with hills living in Seattle it takes them like a big six cylinder car. The passion version has all kinds of features I did not expect. Get a lot a conversation with strangers about it. It’s got a powder blue and the silver shiny wheels make it stand out from other smart cars I’ve seen. Put almost 500 miles on it since I got it and I’ve spent $68 for premium gas which it requires. I think sum SUV’s Spend that much at fill-up! Rides better than I thought it would on the highway look it’s not for everybody but for me it’s a good seems reliable car! I’m happy with it and it doesn’t matter what anybody else says that’s all that matters, right? I’ve had it a little over two years now every time they turn the key it start it gets me anywhere on any road without any issue I need to be! Changed out the original tires wiper blades a couple of taillights a couple of oil changes do you wear shelter and I’m getting 40 miles plus a gallon. I think reliable is the keyword here to use to describe how happy I am with this little car! I’ve had it over two years now one of the best cars I’ve ever had reliable very good on gas I can go anywhere with it anytime I turn the key it starts! All I’ve spent is new tires all around which was the most expensive expenditure. A few bulbs exterior changing your oil and filter having it tested on the machine I didn’t think I’d be saying this over two years ago but again it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever had so happy with it has all the modern features and I’m glad I bought it!

When I first got my smart car. I was a skeptic. I wanted a small reliable car. So I decided to go with the smallest car out there with the Mercedes Benz reputation with car reliablity. I got my 2012 smartcar with only 10k miles. Great car at first. Oil changes were maintained well. I noticed the brakes went out fast. Every 8 months I needed new brakes. Then noticed my car wouldn't start regularly. Took it to the Mercedes dealership and found out I needed a whole new engine. Thank God for basic warranty. Which btw is 4 years or 50k miles. After I whole year of travels. My car had 19k miles. I never would have expected the engine needing replacement already. Uggh. So the dealership is taking care of it now. It's taking almost 2 weeks for ordering new parts. I asked the dealership how much it would be without the warranty and I almost died when I found out it would cost $14k for the new engine!!! That is way more then what I orginially paid for the car. Hope no one else gets any of my issues but please be adviced. I will trade in this bad boy as soon as I get it back from the dealership.
