Been driving my 2016 5-speed for 3 years. It is still the only car I have ever loved. It is actually fun to drive. It performs way better than anyone would suspect. It is quite quick! I am sad they got rid of the gas version, the electric is totally impractical for my driving and inavailabilty of charging opportunities /length of time. I would buy another gas one in a heartbeat!
I like that you removed the engine cover. And I like that they offer the manual gear box.
For real, manual trans for life, makes you feel alive🤘
One of the greatest benefits of having a smart fortwo is how much extra room it leaves in my 2-car garage for other things. Those include a Soloflex, a Teeter inversion table, a flat workout bench, a Total Gym, an enclosed library, cabinets and benches all around, a t.v., 3 bikes, free weights, shoe rack, and much more. All I did was kick out our other vehicle and park the smart in there!
Still faster then a Prius
The guy on the left at 0:42 is getting a live cavity search.
DontFuckWitDreDay lmaoooo
The smart car has always reminded me of a car a rich father would give to their pre teen kid for fun around their mansion
These comments remind me of the children who repeat other people's opinions as their own, folks who are so entrapped in keeping to what they believe 'normality', what a prison they write themselves. Some four years later, perhaps they have escaped.
@@stephen300o6 lol after 4 years
@@stephen300o6 I bet you are also looking for a smart car
theyre so cheap tho
It's a decent little car-thing but you do run the risk of like 3 people just walking away with it lol
So technically it's the first "french car" being introduced back in North America after French automakers left it in 90's
That's true in a roundabout manner.
+Cole Phelps All the North American V8 cars are, intrinsically, French, inasmuch as the V8 was a French invention. So the Smart car is just following a well worn path.
+MrKeyboardCommando I know that a French sold it to Chrysler unfortunately
Cole Phelps It's just what happened, and, apparently, is still happening.
Mario dablife I never said anything like that.
These cars are a blast, and tremendous fun to drive. In the urban environment, there's nothing faster.
Dillon Yanick Er, this video concerns the smart. Why are you chuntering about Fiat⁉️🤔🙄
Dillon Yanick I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who puts comments on the wrong thread.🙃🙁
This car would be good in overcrowded cities like San Francisco
I was surprised to see that rear drum brakes are being used. I wonder why they aren't using 4 wheel disk brakes?
First of all, congratulations, Mr. Krabs.
Hello. I like money.
What inspired you to build a second Krusty Krab right next door to the original?
Money.
I have a smart car! Amazing car, fun to drive and surprisingly spacious on the inside!
Notice Roman you say it looks cartoonish right as the ice cream truck goes by with a cartoonish version of the Entertainer going. I love it. Almost like a planned thing. So I guess I love it when a plan comes together.
I love the fortwo just the best car in the city
Without Nathan I guess we will not know how big the trunk is until you get to review one!
Nathan and Roman and Andre will not fit but perhaps Emme might.....maybe
+The Fast Lane Car Who's this Ronan guy, and has Emme been on a diet ? We demand answers, your dedicated following need to know !
I loved my 2007 Smart, only thing I was missing was that third pedal. This would be perfect.
Let's just be honest....a Smart Car is just a Street-legal roller skate!
But its swag
But it's cute tho
I have driven the older model years ago. A fabulous car with tons of room. Shaky at high speed but this new model has addressed this.
wow... it looks like you can actually service the spark plugs and injectors without removing the engine... and I like the new front... a very "smart" idea indeed... xD
no, really, it looks a lot better with a more normal-ish looking front section... and something I notice is that it seems the eye level when driving it is actually at the same-ish level of a regular car... so you would feel just as tiny as driving a corolla for example... right?
cheers!
New reply on "I have a 2015 Smart car model. Does this procedure also apply for the 2015! Thanks for the tip on the NAPA battery shut off part #."
Thanks. So as I understand, the process in my owners manual for the 2015 is correct? I don't have to do the shifting procedure as demonstrated in your video.
Thanks again for your patience and help.
I really want to drive one of these
Gus Serks I would love it to do so
I like this car pls don't judge me
Darko Marjanović I want one to see how much power I could squeeze out of it. A street legal turbocharged RWD go kart could be fun.
Me too I love it but I don't care about other people's opinion
Darko Marjanović I'm with you buddy.
Hey your not alone
i don’t judge you i love it too
Transmission. "The people who got used to the last one liked it". Where are these people? I've never met anyone who thought the old one was any good. Some think it's just about bearable but most think it's one of the worst gearboxes to be inflicted on a car in recent years. Try pulling out onto a busy roundabout with one if you want to know what real fear is.
+hung huge ... I have had one for four years and actually like the transmission.
I bet its peppy with that turbo with the manual and im sure handling will be decent with the rwd.
I would trade my bicycle for this car
please! !!!!!!
now competed with the Scion iQ.
scion iq vs. Smart Fortwo.
When you here that old school ice cream truck @5:23 TBT childhood..
Very good car to buy, I have a 2015 Smart Car. Very good 👍 on gas.
I just got rid of our 2005 diesel smart. Needed a new actuator, $780cdn, new egv another $800, etc. BTW, the evg replacement was about to be come an annual event. The car was a money pit. Almost as much of a money pit as our jeep. Yeah, fun to drive when it ran. Sold it for $1500cdn.
Can these be driven on the highway?
why not driven ? it is still a car just a slower than others
It's not slow it goes like a rocket ,with sports mode and it s economical and no tax .
@@ozan3065 it isn't slow. Don't say any comments if you don't know!
Those fuel economy numbers though LOL. Pretty awful if you ask me. I think if they gave it a bigger engine, say 2L, it would actually get better fuel economy numbers. The little 0.9L is just working a bit to hard to push that thing around.
+MrGovenator1 It has higher fuel economy than any other pure-ICE car out there.
+regalgsme i am driving this new Smart with 50 MPG ;)
In 1984 my wife and I bought a brand new Dodge Colt, 4-door w/hatchback. It had a 1.4 liter engine with a single, 1-bbl carburetor. With my wife, 2 kids and myself on board with luggage for four we got 44 miles per gallon on a 325 mile trip to Disneyland. We drove on a straight, flat Interstate at about 60-65 mph in 5th gear. That little Dodge got 40 mpg or more for the 6 years we owned it. It was geared "right" and actually had plenty of power. How come even these tiny "Smart" cars and hybrids cannot match the mileage of a 1984 Dodge Colt with a 1.4 liter engine and an actual carburetor. I've been a car guy since the late 60's and I am baffled that mileage of our smallest cars has actually decreased in the last 30 years. I don't get it...
randy109 safety/weight
A Harley Davidson ultra classic gets 20 MPG go figure.
So the Smart Product Manager's favorite feature of the car is the phone app? WOW!
Local dealer got versa note for 13 k done know with the competition between the big car co you can get so much more for your money. I can't see anyone buying them . Overlook cruise , golf , carrolla, sentra,focus,soul,elantra,scions,mazda 3 , just can't see it.
Spark and mirage are cheaper and not much bigger ... but immensely more practical
everything I ever wanted to know about the Smart fortwo . I don t want one, and I never will. review over!
+icemanroyal Yet you couldn't resist watching it.
i didn t watch, just came in to post my opinion based on the title and thumbnail :)
Even worse.
Smart car is the BEST CAR in the world!
Actually looks good now. I wish they made like a streched out, lower roof lined and maybe more powerful version even though it would kinda defeat the purpose.
No, the newer ones are ugly. The old design looked much better.
say what u want but if u think about it, the Smart has the same amount of room as your pickup truck has n it. What makes a truck normal looking is the bed.. My 02 Ranger is equivelant ( inside ) to a smart car & a freakin gas hog! i'd sooo trade it n for a Smart!!!
Any word about the forfour? Glad this car came with a stick shift.
its sooo cute!
I like the first version best!
I like the second version a better machine...
You guys should do a review or something on the new Honda Pilots
+_ ClassicChrome01 We published several "first drive" reviews on the 2016 Honda Pilot from the launch event.
+The Fast Lane Car oh ok I must have missed it
Don't know why they didn't give us the cool sporty 2 door we get the guppy.
5:30 ICE CREAM!!!
it finally looks like a car, not a toy.
so do they still catch on Fire!!!!!! I owed 2 smart cars and they Both caught on FIRE !!!!
Vera Ekua chill then
if i were to get this, i would probably take off the muffler for some extra and noise because its just too quiet lol.
SD70ace_railfan and it would probably sound pretty good too
In Australia we have lots of French cars a quite a few Smarts hehe
Ill keep my lifted wrangler with 1% security well maybe 2% (roll cage) ... And I'll keep my 15 mpg... Lol
Good jeeps are for Chicks...
Whats the seat comfort like? The old version didnt have great seats
At least its not as ugly
Take another look
+WHO9119 nah already saw it
I disagree, the newer ones are uglier than the older ones.
what is it at the rear wheel? it looks like an alternator but what is that actually?
Well if you guys can review this car, maybe you'll review the new Mitsubishi Mirage when it comes out
well done thx furr postin.. a fan
10:44 Holy hell I'd hate to have to change any major components like an alternator or water pump in there. It looks like theres absolutely no room to maneuver.
I own a 2009 convertible Smart Fortwo Passion and I love it get so much attention and I did not have to spend a ton of money to get it
+ricco kimbrough Is it terrifying on the highway?
+MrGovenator1 no not at all it just a rumor people tend to just say that but test drive it and see for your self
ricco kimbrough I honestly have no interest in a car that has a 0-60 time of a snail lol. I see why people like this car, but it just doesn't do any thing for me. The Smart brand doesn't really fit well in the States to be honest, its more of a European car.
+MrGovenator1 well on that note I can say globally United States will continue to make crappy American cars in the European and German industrial will exceed in sells so people in that nature will save more money because they have a more reliable car be my guest pick what you want you have to pay for it after all
ricco kimbrough German cars really aren't very reliable. And when they do break, they cost a fortune to fix. Even VW is quite expensive for repairs. And American cars are far from bad now. Ever since the bail outs, they realized no one wanted to buy their crap, so they have drastically improved their quality. They aren't quite as nice as their German counterparts, but they generally aren't as expensive either.
are they gonna import some manual version to North America?
My problem with the smart is that it's too small to be getting only 38 MPG. My Sonic was much larger, around the same price point, had more HP and could get 40MPG highway.
+Mr Figglybobo i am driving this Smart with 50 MPG ;)
How good is the Air Conditioner?
5:33 ice cream truck!!!
He can talk about safety all he wants but this is NOT a safe car, it never could be based on physics.
These mini-size cars are the least safe thing with doors on the road.
You shouldn't be driving then.
When for seller in indonesia it this model..? It's very good..!
Where do u buy the iphone holder thing?
Smart car. The car to get if you are super conservative and have zero interest in Motorsports or performance. Not saying it's a bad thing there are plenty of people like that in this world. My wife is still picking out her Vehicles based on how cool the headlights look and she's 30 years old.
Scion iQ turns sharper
Everything ain't for everybody. I'm definitely getting this or a juke
It looks cool.
Much better than the old one ,is that saying much?
that German guy is really good at marketing
feeling the need for an ice cream
You can't fit a car with rims like that if it has drum brakes in the rear. Lol. Looks stupid seeing the drum
Was that an ice cream truck I heard around 5:20
Ian and tommy need to do a review.
this is better than lamborghini
I was at the dealer and I was not offered to let me test drive the car. I am not white nor I am bling blang. I did look at the engine and everything else and spend an hour loking at the car.
we're can I buy one of this car?
It is made in Slovenia , which was part of Yugoslavia .
The Fortwo is made in France, the ForFour is made in Slovenia which is a modern European Country now.
Is it going to come in a convertible?
Scion iQ has 11 air bags
Access to engine should be more easy you do not need to waste time unscrew some screws after you through your items in street
My buddy was an M3 and a smart car lol
good car.
Do more of does nathan fit
Is it loud on the high way?
Yeah but not to bad depending on the highway conditions. It's the tires you can hear like a ballon sound if you what i mean.. other than that smooth ride.
Where is the spare wheel?
Is there an electric 2016 yet? I'd only buy the electric one, it's just all-around better.
The Lavender Town Project is 2017 one now but it costs about 21k unused
does it still only take premium gas?
Yes
+The Fast Lane Car Premium gas, and it still makes the Prius look like a Hellcat...
Which also means it could sell bad if 91/93 is far higher than regular (luckily, I have a Costco, so it would only be $2.99 in California vs. $3.41-$3.83 to the others).
Yeah I really like this car but I don't think the MPGs and performance are not high enough to justify premium gas.
+Charles Everett I own one and its a chick magnet I get a lot of tension in it and I put regular gas in it and it does not affect my performance at all
I don't get why people buy these. My car gets the same or better gas mileage, weighs 400 lbs. more, seats 5, and has an engine nearly twice as large as the smart's. And I got it used for $4,000 less- used from 2012, though. Everything the smart has is matched or exceeded by my car, except for the fact that It's twice as long (lol). I guess the length is the only thing people buy them for. Guess the car?
Honda Civic
We buy them for its unique first of all. Also I can piggyback it on my 3500 hd, and it fits well in my toy hauler... Does that make since!
$18,970 is EXPENSIVE for a car this size. That can buy you a fully loaded Ford Fiesta, or a fully loaded Toyota Yaris. These cars have much better options, are bigger and more practical though small enough to fit in most parking spaces, and you don't look like a complete dork driving them. So why the heck would you buy this?
Price?
Me want!!
Not very efficient considering jeep advertises some of their suv's to get 32.
ICE CREAM TRUCK IIIIIIICCCCEEE CREAM
How many clowns can fit in it? Need minimum of 8
Old genereation was much more beautiful. I really don't like front part of this car.
is electric one coming out soon
+Wesley Chou Next year
Thanks for the information
Will this engine last more then 50k miles unlike the out going engine? I know its a "cheap" car but these engine's don't last.
Presenter's sound needs to be fixed
id hotbox it before i pulled out the lot
That's a nice mk6 golf gti there
How can a Smart 0.9 liter turbo 3 cyl only have 89 hp? Ford gets 123 hp from it's 1 liter 3 banger.
It's all about gas mileage boy.
