It has a turbo 3cyl like a Koenigsegg, it has the engine over the rear wheels like a Porsche, it has a hp number that starts with a 6 like a Ford gt40, it has an automated manual like a Ferrari of the same time, it has staggered wheels like a drag car, it has a roll cage like a race car, it weighs well under 2000lbs like a lotus elise, it has a panoramic roof like a top trim Bentley, and the three lug wheels are little rotating triangles, like an rx7.
This was good
The best one is the DIESEL - which was WIDELY SOLD in Europe and Canada AND some people reported 70-80 mpg. Not kidding.
BUT - due to US emissions standards etc . . . you could not legally import them and drive them in the US ( over one year )
Although I knew a guy in the area who drove it into the US from Canada and just didn't take it back. ( over one year ).
I recently bought a smartcar (in the UK). I was looking for a diesel but they didn't come on the market very often and were routinely £1000 more than a petrol in similar condition. I'm mainly going to be using mine for relatively short trips (half hour or less one way) and I've heard the diesel economy doesn't really kick in until the engine's properly warmed up. Given the huge difference in fuel price it probably evens out for petrol for me personally.
I live in terraced housing with no dedicated parking and with the influx of commercial vehicles being parked at home over the last decade or so the smartcar is basically the only choice if you want to be able to find anywhere to park if you come home after 6pm (Which is exactly what I'm planning to do with it).
Zack, nice to hear from you! You are a natural on this media. you have a great speaking voice, enthusiasm, positivity, and positive attitude. Go forth into a world full of opportunity for good people like yourself😀
a friend of mine had one of these anmd got it tuned to 120bhp. that was actually a whole lot of fun
120 horsepower would be crazy in one of those things
I thought the explanation story of the import would be lame. But it was worth waiting for. Good review!
Great video! I have a 2006 imported smart fortwo passion, which I inherited in Feb 2012 after my mom died in Dec 2011. Mine has the Mercedes emblem on the nose, but doesn't have the import plaque on the side. They are quite fun little cars to drive.
It actualy has a cup holder on the back of the passanger seat, if u are alone in the car and want a cup holder just fold the passanger seat and u'll see the cup holder
Omg I was wondering what that was for. Cause I just bought a Smart today. So cool.
Thank you so helpful
I just wanna say that I have that exact Mazda 3 hatch in that exact color and tomorrow I’m getting a smart car!
This 450 in the video is missing the biggest feature, the big round tachometer and a clock, which I call them as frog eye gauges. The central lower column actually has a modular design that you can opt for storage options, and this one clearly did not comes with the cup holder, while it has the ash tray instead.
The US version of smart is a 451 which is the next gen from 450, and specifically designed for American market. So bigger engines and faster gear response, but less quirky interior design.
This channel is so underrated
Honestly i have no idea why this channel dropped off the map

Impressed by this little maniac of a car
The Smart Fortwo was my middle school dream car ❤️
I have the same car, this car does have a cup holder at the bottom of the center console, but it is doesn't look like cup holder from any other car.
My 2010 does pretty good as long as I’m manually shifting gears.
Would have loved that Smart made also fully manual transmission
European trucks fitted with auto gearboxes shift gears like the Smart in ‘auto’ mode - they drop the revs between shifts without ‘foot off’ the pedal. They are robotised manuals.
What’s the mileage
Awesome
Right now these only cost around 2000dollar used in Denmark - cheap fun
A plate on the outside which says: Steal me... upps... rare car... the end result will be the same 😂
I have a 2014 ford focus st3 stage 3 build u can review..

Never kbew smarts were rwd what about the diesel ones i think they are twin cylinder
no, they are 3 cylinders as well, but 0.8 liters
@@labxarka16 oh i was thinking of an axiam that has a 2 cyl diesel
European here. Plenty of the Euro models have leather.
Put an Audi A6 fuel regulator in it and check performance between 30 and 60mph, never use it as an auto as they’re as quick as dog shit, use it as triptronic and they’re a hoot 😃👍🏻
Auto mode is just for fuel economy, going manual helps a lot
You should do a video on my 05 smart cdi diesel that's in the united states
I'd love to! Email me PradelReviews@Gmail.com
I like small cars.Abarth is my fav.
Hey the hood thing about it is, if it breaks down, you can just pick it up and take it home. Lol
Good*
Needs a Hayabusa engine
No
My sister has a friend that owns one of these.
Toyota iQ is for sure better, more comfortable and much more reliable...
A smart owner won't ever change to a Toyota
It is not first generation. The first ones had a transverse leaf spring for front suspension and different headlights back in 1997.
There was a time when I considered getting a SMART car as a 2nd car, but they are/were too expensive for what they are
Fee tax! 0.6litr your saving so much money on tax and petrol
German cars made for the German market have no cup holders. It's all about safety.
But the German Smart car does have a cup holder. Try folding down the passenger seat and you’ll find one.😉
Magna builds them
Lunch this mini EV it in India with reasonable price
An AMT is a female friendly sequential
Smart is Swiss, not German
Smart stands for Swatch Mercedes Art, so it’s a bit of both and it’s imade in France.
Engineered by Mercedes-Benz, so technically it's German.
Nicolas Hayek (Swatch) wasn't thrilled, how Mercedes enginnered it (no electric drive - like it was in Hayek's vision ), and he said "good bye" to this project.
The basic idea of a futuristic city car was not realized. So "technically" :-) , yes, it was german.
I call those stupid for 2 lol
