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!

We purchased the Smart fortwo thinking we will save money on gas and save on maintenance as the car is relatively simple compared with today's sophisticated vehicle standard. WRONG! The MPG is okay not comparable to other vehicles in the same or larger size range. The battery which is located under the passenger carpet died twice within the first 8K miles and by the time we accumulated 20K, we had to have the Smart towed to the dealer because it abruptly died in the middle of traffic and would not restart. The BIG SHOCK was the dealer's $15,000.00 estimate of repair... If you're thinking that the engine or transmission failed, you'd be wrong. According to the dealer, whoever replaced the battery the second time failed to properly ensure that a condensation hose that runs from the AC over the top on the battery and through the floor was reconnected properly. The condensation accumulated between the foam under the carpet and the metal floor, and shorted out the transmission module under the driver's seat and wiring harness. The carpet above never got wet so we had no clue this was occurring underneath. After further inspection, it was evident that the hose actually pops off by itself and it was more of a design failure than a battery installation error. Besides, is it SMART german engineering to run an AC condensation line with a pop off break directly over the battery? The $15,000.00 was a joke since you can almost buy a new Smart for that. So we called Mercedes/Smart customer service for assistance and after a one month run-around, they offered nothing! Not even an acknowledgement that they have a design problem even though it's well documented on Smart Blogs. It is no wonder that the Smart Car made it on both Consumer Reports' Worst new cars of 2014 list and Edmunds The 17 Worst Cars You Can Buy. In fact, It's No.1 on Edmunds list with the subcaption "Friends Don't Let Friends Buy These Vehicles" Save your money, don't be so dumb as to buy a Smart!

I'm a teacher, and they reeled me in with the extra discount - and a generous trade-in on my 10-year old New Beetle. The car has been more fun than I thought it would be to drive, but I agree with other posters that leaving it in pure auto mode results in a lousy ride. Even in 'manual' 1st to 2nd is a drag. The little engine does quickly lug out on hills and even slight inclines, but it drops seamlessly into 4th with an easy pull of the shift lever. Gas mileage so far better than advertised. Plenty of vertical room, but my legs end up jammed against the door and the shifter when it is in 'manual' mode. Along with the seats being uncomfortable, I am not looking forward to long trips.
Fun and practical city car
