One piece of advice. Check that the Alternator belt isn't fraying, because lots of these ended up with a head gasket blown and the head warped. There was a recall in some parts of the World for a misalignment issue on the belt pulleys. I bought mine with a dead engine because of this, knowing I could repair it and get a cheap car. The pulleys were over 1mm out of line, and I machined the crankshaft pulley and made spacers for the alternator to get it right. It's done 60K miles since that. It died after 58K miles originally. The problem is that the belt fails and the Alternator light comes on. People don't realise that the water pump isn't working any more and don't stop immediately.

It's an automated manual because there is no space for a third pedal. That's why even in Europe only the automated manual version exists until the 3rd or 4th generation Smart.

I love my 2018 Smart for two petrol makes driving easy and fun instead of stressful and boring. Do a 180 like no other car and be king of tight parallel parking spots! I easily get 60 UK mpg and as much as 80mpg if you gently cruise it!

I just bought the exact same car same model year. My car also had 97,000 miles on it when I bought it. I would be interested in ANY video you might have on this. I just changed the cabin air filter (it was almost blocked). On the way home from the dealer the ESP and ABS lights both came on and would not go off. However, when driving around my neighborhood, the lights both went out. My guess is that it is the switch in the brake box under the car. I would really be interested in seeing the brake job video you are thinking about. Keep us up to date. Thanks.

if you manage to find some rear wheels, get them fitted to the front and it will feel alot more comfortable at higher speeds.

also the Europe ones are all automatic with the button on the side to make it semi automatic.

I'm looking at getting one of these. Do they feel roomy in the driver's seat? I'm worried I'll feel clauster phobic.

@jqonthego 4 ай бұрын

Hey! At 5’11, I felt like I had a good amount of room! The steering wheel doesn’t move up and down, but the seat did slide forwards and backwards, with a backrest adjustment. The seat didn’t move upper down either. I would definitely recommend finding one local to you and driving it, as that will allow you to see your comfortability level with the size of the car. The transmission is a bit jerky, and there isn’t too much power which are items to be considered as well.

@@jqonthego mostly I'm thinking about having arm room and the side/door not making me feel claustrophobic. It will be exclusively for in town use only I just need something to get me up the street and back safely. Chances are I won't exceed 25 mph /No freeway. I found one that will deliver to me and is in my price range. I'm on an electric scooter now and the rainy season just hit. I need a roof. Thank you for your video and reply. I think it will work great I'm a small girl size 7/5'5.

When you start off , just press the gas pedal about 1 inch, hold it there and the car will accelerate and shift thru the gears smoothly and you will be amazed how quickly it will accelerate thru the gears. If you stomp on it, it will surge snd shift like sh#t.

@christopherl.miller4092 6 ай бұрын

I did a search on Amazon for the routine maintenance parts (Air filter, wiper blades, oil filter, cabin filter, spark plugs, spark coil assemblies, etc). All are available at reasonable prices. I have not looked for such things as brake pads or brake rotors but, it seems like they are available as well.

It depends on where you’re located, and what you’re willing to spend!

@MrTim7 5 ай бұрын

Is it a good choice for a beginner driver?

@jqonthego 5 ай бұрын

It depends on where you’re driving, personally my first car was a big station wagon! The smart car is slow, and the brake pedal is on traditionally set up, as it’s attached to the floor, and not the top of the dashboard. I drive the car like it’s a motorcycle, as a lot of people don’t see you in there blind spots. In terms of a first car, they’re cheap to ensure, economical, easy to park, and a bit of fun to drive! It will allow the driver to practice judgment calls, and understand their size in relativity to the others on the road. It depends on how often the car would be used and how long of trips. I hope this info is helpful!
