I bought mine in August of this year and am really pleased with it. My father was a motor dealer, so I have driven more cars than many people, but the Smart really suits my needs nowadays. Nice video.

I love my Smart Car. I'm a single guy that only needs to get from point A to point B. I'm not selling it, ever! I love driving it!

I luv my Smartie. Had her a year now and no issues.

Mate, I bought a 2006 Smart 4 for 2 a couple of years ago while my daily drive being a 1960 Messerschmitt KR200 was going to be laid up. I thought I would just enjoy it for a while and then sell it when my KR200 was back on the road. No fekin’ way ! The Smart is such a great car, I can’t let it go. It reminds me of driving a 1960’s Mini Cooper. Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed it. All the best from the Sunshine Coast Australia. 🍻👍

Love my smart got it last year and love driving it but sick of people saying they aren't safe your right when you say other car drivers are surprised at how fast they get upto speed I was shocked myself when I test drove it

Recently bought the Hubnut Smart and have fallen in love with it already, they get under the skin quite quickly, I love the engine noise, the cheap tax and having the roof down. Hands down one of the most fun cars I have had and puts a smile on my face. Already trying to justify the need for a Smart Roadster to replace my daily car 😂😂 when I come to replace possibly in a few months time.

Totally agree with the car on bumpier roads, it can be back breaking on roads where I am.

I think you will find if you take of the oil filter the oil will just gush out, just disconnect your ht and turn it over on the starter

I had a 450 and now have a 451 I miss my 1st generation and I'm tempted to get another 450 it was that good .
Thank you for sharing your experience it was very enjoyable watching this .

Agree with you, if you learn how to drive them properly the gear changes can be smooth… Safe economical cars… funny trying to reach forward and try to touch the front windscreen when you can reach around and touch the rear easily 🚙

It reminds me of the classic Mini, basic and fun to drive, perfect for empty nesters. 🤣👍

I found one owned by an older lady. 2007 ForTwo with only 26, 000 miles on it. Garage kept, all service records. $6, 000. Just waiting for paperwork to come back from the DMV to switch over title. I can hardly wait!

I love my 2013 smart car. Moon roof, padal shift, heated leather seats, black with silver trim, I added a tow hitch and small Harbor freight trailer with gray lamo wood flooring, and roof rack mounts. This is my go to vehicle for quick and local runs. I LOVE IT! The 3 jeeps, corvette, Chevy Silverado truck, and Ford excursion get really pissed off m😅ost of the time. 😃 and don't fotget, $40.00 bucks to fill up even in California 😥 and still can drive locally for a month without fuiling up at a gas station, or go for it and hit the hwy 100 miles + at 70 mph or more if you need to. Really a cool and unique car. 😂

Ringo Starr auditions for Top Gear great work

[badbooks]

Great video. Clever cars & What a great buy & bargain, regards the fact it had always been under cover & the mileage / as new condition.

[philthewriter]

Was nice to meet you at Ben's earlier, Paul (yellow 450 owner!), always good to chat to enthusiasts while waiting around. Found your car on Hubnut, looking forward to watching!

[katsadventures]

I just got yesterday 2013 for $2500 it has KM on it. I love it so far taking it to the garage next week to have it checked over. I hope it's all good..

[kashifmughal]

I bought a 2004 smart 450 96000 miles cat N minor damage to the bumper really happy with it drives nice very reliable as its nearly 20 years old comes under classic insurance great result

Lovely video mate.

Just bought a 2006 Fourtwo Grandstyle with 83k on the clock. I think I'm the third owner. FSH and appears to have been well looked after. For all of the hate of the gearbox, personally, I love it - like you say; it's a quirk.

As a single bloke, doing town and some A road driving - this thing will be perfect hopefully 🙂
