I am thinking about buying a Smart like that. I live in a city, so it'd be used mostly as a city car, whilst we rarely wander outside the city. However, do you reckon it's safe to drive 90-100kph with it? Or I shouldn't even try?
My recommendation is to not go over 80-90km/h, it feels very insecure. Sweet spot for this car will be around 50-70 km/h. Just don't ever try to drive it on the highway. But I can suggest buying instead a 2005 ford fiesta 1.3. You can check the video on my channel. It is really safe to drive it with 130-150 km/h. And they are really cheap to buy and maintain. And it comes in 4 doors with 5 seats. ✌️
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn thanks for your recommendation! I had a Mondeo of the same year. I have to admit that I am really fond of Ford's from that period of time. Cheap, yet reliable and don't feel as budget as, for example, Fiat does.
@@ArturKwaszyn yes, you are right, the Fords tend to seem to have a bit better quality than Fiats, I whould choose a Ford over a Fiat anyday. 😅 But I have to admit that the Abarth 595 version of the fiat 500, is a real fun car. 😁
once upon a time drove smart fortwo in russia on highway in winter with huge wheel tracks on 120 kph... feels like an edge for this car cause corners and line changing on this speed requires high precision steering and good weight balance feeling. But if you good - it will give you a lot of fun )
I drive a smart 450, and i drive 110/120 kmph on the highway and have no problems with driving that speed. Only need to hold the steering wheel thight when its very windy outside.
Same here, I use the highway almost everyday and I drive it (Smart fortwo 450 passion) to the max, 110/120kph. On windy days I drive about 60kph max. The catch here is you must know what you're doing and must be an experienced driver to max this vehicle. Both hands on steering after shifing gears if yours does not have auto mode,I also have a few mods done. lowered suspension using coil overs for better aerodynamics and stability. I use wider tires on stock alloy rims (195/55/50) both back and front.
I have a smart 2004 and its like yours but with paddle shift wheelie. And has not A mode . If I change the takers (the shifter) + could do with A mode ?
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn any reason why lol, was this one diesel or petrol btw? i heard diesel engine makes a lotta noise behind drivers seat is this true? thanks a lot
@@Skull24Crusher ja, ungefähr. Der Tachometer zeigt auch nicht richtig. Der zeigt 5-10kmh weniger. Du kannst auch sehen dass er manchmal für eine kurze Zeit bleibt stehen
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn It changes gears faster if you take your foot off the throttle like a regular manual. The Smart gearbox is a manual gearbox, but all function was robotized, so you should change gears like a regular gearbox.
Yes it is, because it is made only for two people. 😅 But you are right, I had enough room also. It is a very good car if you intend to drive it only in the city. Due to the top speed, I couldn't drive on the highway, it was almost impossible to overtake another car. 😅
It is a fun car to drive in the City. But on B roads, it is very unstable 😅 every truck that drives by, gives you the impresion that the Smart will fly off the street. 😂 With that being said, I won't be doing another POV with a Smart in the near future.
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn Haha fair enough. It would be fun cause it's like driving a small buggy, but yea for your own safety it's good you're not doing anymore POV drives at this speed
@@qwertiee no, you got it all wrong, I said I won't be doing top speed with a standard Smart. 😅 I like Speed 😁 Take a look at the last video I uploaded, it is an Abarth 595 Scorpioneoro Limited Edition. Still, it is very unstable at over 170Kmh 😅
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn No no you got it all wrong HAHAHA. I was referring to the Smart car, saying that it's good you aren't doing POV drives at this speed with that specific car. Sorry lol I wasn't clear enough. The Abarth 595 is an awesome car btw, but I personally feel it looks much better than it actually is. Decent cheaper, low power RWD car tho
@@qwertiee ok, now I got it 😅 Btw, the 595 is FWD. I believe that the comfort was superior in the Smart as in the Abarth. But driving the Abarth reminded me of my rs. Maybe because they both have crappy suspension and a fixed driver seat with no posibility to lower the seat. 😅
My 2000 Diesel accelerates much quicker than that. Yes, it has 4hp less than the car in this video but it has 0,8L insteed of 0,6L and it has 30NM more of torque .
The Smart: Objectively one of the WORST cars in the world -Ugly -DISGUSTING interior, filled with POOR QUALITY plastic and WRONG FITTING -ZERO engines and moreover, NOT RELIABLE, with a lot of problems -The gearbox, we don't even talk about it (not even 100% automatic mode) and not reliable at all - It doesn't even reach 120 km/h And it is VERY EXPENSIVE.
Actualy it has a hard time reaching 100kmh and once you reach that speed, it's getting dangerous. For City driving, it's ok, but never drive it on the Autobahn. 😅
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn The trick is the customers who buy these cars. They are rich people who live either in Paris or in Monaco. But otherwise, nobody buys Smart! Normal that it was a failure
I love the confusion of where to put in the key at the start
yeah hahaah
I have recently bought a 2014 example. Got to say that I am very pleased with it.
That overlay was superb!

What about fuel economy ?
5.5-6l per 100km
@@SlowFordTopSpeedAutobahn is not economy at all
@@theo_konstantinou if you drive it only in the city, 6l per 100km is not bad. Most petrol cars have at least 8-9l per 100km.
