If you haven’t driven one, you’re gonna laugh, you’re probably gonna judge it, but this little cage on wheels is a hoot to drive! Today, I’m going to show you why this little thing is worth the embarrassment. After that, I will show you some of my favorite features, take it for a drive and give you some driving impressions, and in the end I will point out some of the things you should LOOK for if you’re planning on buying one.
Cast your mind back to the late 1990s, when blow jobs in the oval office were a thing and Friends was playing on TV, cities were becoming more congested, and parking spaces were more scarce than ever. It was against this backdrop that the idea for the Smart Fortwo was born. Conceived by the collaboration of Swatch and Mercedes-Benz, this innovative vehicle aimed to revolutionize urban mobility. With its compact dimensions and quirky design, the Smart Fortwo promised to navigate narrow streets and slip into tight parking spots with ease.
The first-generation Smart Fortwo, released in 1998, embodied the essence of minimalism. Its distinctive silhouette, with its truncated rear end and upright stance, turned heads wherever it went.
Despite its tiny size, the interior is surprisingly spacious, offering ample headroom and a surprising amount of legroom for both driver and passenger. The dashboard was adorned with playful colors and quirky details, adding to the car's charm. The first generation Smart never made it to the US.
The second generation 451 series launched at the 2006 Bologna Motor Show, and was sold here in the US in 2008 as a 2009 model.
For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive is a game-changer. With its all-electric powertrain, this eco-friendly version of the Fortwo delivers a silent and smooth driving experience. Instant torque ensures brisk acceleration off the line, while regenerative braking helps to maximize range and efficiency. Plus, with zero tailpipe emissions, you can zip around town guilt-free, knowing you're doing your part for the environment.
The Smart Fortwo may not be the most practical car on the market, but it's certainly one of the most charming and fun! And with the Electric Drive model, you can enjoy guilt-free motoring while turning heads wherever you go. So if you're in the market for a fun and funky city car, why not take the Smart Fortwo for a spin? Who knows, it might just put a smile on your face every time you hit the road.

Recalls:
There are several recalls for these cars already. Be sure to look into the recalls for the vehicle you are buying.
The best option to find out recall information is to go to your manufacturer’s website link below
www.mbusa.com/en/recall
In the U.S., you can also visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The link is also included below.
www.nhtsa.gov/recalls
For either option, enter the vehicle’s 17 character VIN # and this will provide you with a list of recalls for the vehicle you are looking into.

I own the 2015. It is the best!
Love my Smart Fortwo ❤️
Solid video! chapters would be helpful. I love micro cars, wish more affordable ones were sold in the US
A dynamite review!!! I wish I could find one in reasonable shapein my neck of the woods, and perhaps with a warranty if purchased from a reputable dealer...maybe a Benz dealer(?)...Peace...🙏🏹♐
❤😂🎉😂😂😂😂😢😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 I wanna see some more videos of smart car for two and I don’t know what year should I get? I’m 62. I’m pretty sure I’ll fit in one. They look like they’re fun to drive like a go kart I saw one with the motorcycle engine, and that damn thing was really fast.
My favorite city car!
Oh and the paddles change regeneration braking mode. There are three levels of energy recuperation and also a no-recuperation mode, where the car is most similar to an ICE after releasing the throttle - it would continue coasting.
I love one pedal driving with some EVs, however, this one won't stop even in the highest recuperation setting.
❤😂😢😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 i’m gonna get one next year. I’m gonna put some money down and I’m not too sure. What year should I get because I want to keep my Ford focus SE and drive the smart around in town and freeway but people say they’re not safe, but I said yes they are because it’s a cage wrap around you, keep it up
I love that car 😍
If you have more than three, is it a fleet or a collection?
❤😂😢😮😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 I live in Northern California. Where do you think I could find a low mile smart car that’s not too high in payments cause I’m only three days a week of work. Let me know if this is your channel for Smart cars or TH-cam for videos of smart cars I like them they’re cool. I really do want to get one. Let me know. Where is the best for me to look at a dealer to see which one I will get
A new clutch in the U.K. is about $400.
❤😂😢😮😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 northern California is Redding, California and Shasta Lake, which that’s my city where I live please please let me know where I can find a good dealer. I do really really really wanna get one just like Spice Girls sings really really really really want.

I think this one belonged to the "Wiggles"
Sorry I am a adult gave up toy cars years ago

Now the "Yeah, yeah, keep on trucking" has a wholly new meaning. Truly, trolling is A art.
What’s the point of posting this type of comment? Does it make you feel like a BIG MAN?
