    I bought a 2009 in 2020. 37000 miles. This video is AWESOME. It answers all my questions. And let me tell you...it holds lots of groceries. I took my friend shopping. She didn't believe everything would fit. People even stopped to watch. It's a happy car!! $14 to fill it up. Once a month for me😁

      cody herron does it have power to it or does it lack power? How does it handle? Is it scary on the highway and in strong winds? I was looking at one which was blue and white. It was pretty nice

      It handles good, and like a golf cart, The turning radius is hilariously tight, you can literally drive circles around mini vans!
      It's not that peppy, it has a 1.0 litre engine with 3 cylinders that passive-aggresively pulls forward, like a bored college senior to a 7am. it does maintain stability at highway speeds well though, with a top speed of 90 most of the time
      I have heard some stories about the draft from larger SUVS and semis shaking you around a bit but usually you wanna avoid those anyway

    Got my 2009 Smart Fortwo passion 5 days ago now and absolutely love it. The only weird things is the transmission and the brake since it’s floor mounted. But once you get passed that and used to it it’s a lovely car. These cars seem so well built, handled the highway no problem, MPG is extremely great, and overall it’s just a cost friendly car all around. Between the cost of the car, insurance and to fill the gas up everything is cheap. ONE THING I WILL SAY IS IF YOU GET ONE ONLY USE PREMIUM GAS. Do not be like the last owner that only used regular gas. It can take both but if premium is recommended then absolutely only use premium! It runs much better and smoother with premium. Such a convenient little car with enough to keep up with the flow of traffic even with 2 people in the car. Enough space to go grocery shopping. Overall this is a great car and I wish I got one years ago! They’re also so easy to work on and will save you thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.

    I have a Smart Fortwo Cabriolet, I got it when my engine on my 88 F150 was going out. I intended for the Smart Fortwo to be my newer, reliable vehicle that had a warranty. Sadly I moved and couldn't take my 88 F150 with me but have no regrets getting the Smart Fortwo. I liked the odd look to it, and the idea that it was quite clownish looking for a 6'5'' guy to drive it. Sure it's not the best performing vehicle, but i find it funner than another four door sedan looking vehicle, or a sporty "compensation" car, and more reasonable than a truck, considering I don't go much other than to work and home, and a few places here and there.
    The gear shifting isn't a big deal to me. I only really notice it at lower speeds, like speeding up from idle takes a little longer than "normal" *if* you gradually speed up like you are suppose to. You can "jack rabbit" the car around quite easily still considering the funky transmission. But then again, perhaps I think this because I have mostly only driven an 88 F150 before my Fortwo.

    I bought a 2009 Smart fortwo passion convertible today. I actually really like it. Several people in my town in Kansas have these. You have to get use to how the transmission shifts when driving. But it's not terrible. I will use it for short commutes ... work.. basic errands. Amazing fuel economy

    • @Lincolnator721
      @Lincolnator721 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Neat! Do you notice what kind of fuel economy you're getting yet or is it too early to tell? I know the gas tank is nearly 9 gallons! So tiny. I thought about getting one just for summer time and fall and short trips. I'm in Michigan and the town I live lets snow accumulate up to 1 foot at times so wouldn't be driving it in winter

    • @Sheridantank
      @Sheridantank 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know the comments old but I've just got to say this. Do people realize how cheap a car is to fill up doesn't mean a thing? So if I get a SUV with a 10 gallon fuel tank it's good on gas because it only cost $40 to fill up? I'd rather pay more to fill up and have high mpgs just because I hate stopping to get gas. Idk why they can't get a regular size fuel tank on these cars. Imagine 600+ miles a tank, would be awesome! But nah, let's give it a tiny tank.

    • @nemracfiftyto6206

    He's pretty much right. So many of us Americans drive big huge SUVs and have no passengers, never off-road, and haul nothing but mommy and her little precious child. How is that not pure waste? I see it every day, many many times.

    Never knew what was so smart about owning one of these things, other than gas millage. I prefer my truck because it actually saved my mother's life once. Guy rammed her on the side at 70 miles and hour on the highway and she was able to walk away without a scratch. Amazingly, the truck was salvageable and I still drive it today.

    I have a 2008 passion Coupe, but here in Europe the trans is different a little, because instead of the "traditional" P-R-N-D gears we have Forward, Backward and neutral without the "Park", so to leave the car we always have to use the e-brake, and the movement of the shift stick is also different. This car is much better, than usually the people would think. I love it, because I don't need bigger car for commuting.

    As a Smart Car owner, I'm so glad that we don't have the de-tuned American market version here in Canada. If we did I wouldn't own mine.
    Mine gets 0-60mph (or 100kph here) in 10.4 seconds. No means a fast car but much quicker than the 14 seconds for the American market.

    I have driven the Smart before and it feels quite comfortable for me, being 6'1' and 280 pounds. I would not mind owning a car like this at all and I am a big car guy. It's pretty much the perfect city car for me.

  • @mrknoockonwood

    alright lets say overall buyers of this car want it for city driving correct? OK for those people who say you are going to die in an accident...well for those who get them selves in a city accident ad cause such a devastating accident....well my friend you probably should not be driving a vehicle..seriously i can not believe how irresponsible you drivers are. People spend THOUSANDS of dollars on their vehicles just to speed their way to their destination. i enjoy my smart car listening to Sirius radio top down and enjoying my drive. get real and drive with a smile and stop racing to the next red light...i really wanted a motorcycle but driving a bike these days are Very risky so i see my smart as the next best thing. GREAT car.
