In no way does the 2016/2017 reflect the status of the SMART For Two of previous years. The ride is improved. The transmission is now smooth and shifting through the six speeds is undetectable. Interior finish and appointments are quality and reflect the Mercedes input! The side movement during windy dirving is effectively nullified. The turning radius is absolutely outrageous! Nothing on the market equals that. The cabin temperature controls are effective and the sound from the entertainment center is outstanding. The new tires and the highway operating sound level are greatly improved. All around vision from inside the cabin is good. The only thing I have found that I didn't like was the windshield wiper on the drivers side. Doesn't wipe good. The mileage is not quite as good as my last two SMARTS, but is better than advertised I consistently get 42/44 miles per gallon on the through way. I have previously owned a 2011 and 2013 coupe and cabrio. I would hardly return for two more SMARTs if I didn't like the the two previous ones I owned!! The question software would not allow me to put in the year (2016)

She drove from Al to Penn. to Fl. and back again. Never ever had trouble. I'm not saying she didn't feel a semi trailer when it passed but she felt safe comphy. The electric windshield wipers were amazing all cars need these just for safety reasons. When inside car it felt big. Husband meet her in PA and drove her black to Al. He was so impressed. She just traded it in but I'm thinking of getting one. We own a Jetta wagon and we love it but as you all know we have to trade it in. But getting another golf wagon and I think a smart!! She had it 7 yrs. she cried when she had to give it up.

Find out if your dealership does warranty work before you buy. Leith in Raleigh does not. There are 2 mb dealers close to me . they are in charlotte. North Carolina and. Hampton va. One is 4 hours away the other is 3. I need a recall to be fixed. Really! My car is still going. I still like it. Tank still not perfect but I have learned when to refuel.

Very trouble free car. Intended to own it for a year or two when I got one of the first boatload ordered online before there was a dealer. That was eight years ago and am looking for a new one. I've owned everything from DKWs, NSU, 4 Renaults, 2 Mercedes, Toyotas, Hondas, early minis, I obviously like small cars, but never as much as I love this one. Sixty-nine years old with two bad knees, but its the easiest car to get in and out but of! It's great around town, but has also made a few long trips. Great seats, great a/c (never touched it}, great heat and super hot seat heaters. My only complaint is the terrible auto transmission. All the qualities and sophisticated technology of the 59 Renault Dauphine Push Button Automatic. YUK! I'm really looking forward to the new automatic or a stick and the turbo! I've replaced two light bulbs and a heater blower fan--the exact same one that went out on my Mercedes. Bought it on ebay and took 20 minutes to install on the smart (just twisted in!) You don't want to see the installation bill on the Mercedes. I got every option I could order except rain sensing wipers. If I knew how great they worked I would have bought those too. By the way, when you read a bad road test, it's usually obvious they were never in the car!

The 2017 electric is a disappointment

Everything is great about the new 2017 electric except the battery range. My old 2016 got a minimum of 68 miles on a charge and even 80 miles if I was careful. My new 2017 in the winter in Massachusetts gets at the most 51 miles and if anything is running, may drop to as little as 39 miles. The dealer and the manufacturer says this is normal, but for me, the car has become almost useless in the Winter. It should not be sold in the North. Otherwise all the features in the new car are much better....but so what, for me, I would never have bought it if I knew it was like this.
