I recently bought a 2008 cabrio with 40,000 miles and the car shakes at idle, specially when I'm in a red light... A full tuned up was recently done and premium fuel was added and I see no progress... No Check engine lights and loss of power so far... But I don't like the rough idle when park waiting for a red light... Help...... Continue

I had some work done on my wife's 2008 Passion Cabriolet at Mercedes of Buffalo (NY) after she hit a 5" deep pothole on I390 near Mt Morris, NY exit7.  The right strut cartridge broke, tie rod end broke and some other damage. When I got the car back I drove it home and it had a droning noise in the repaired front end. The wife drove it for a couple days and she said the noise was still there. I spun the car around the…

Jam on the Dam II - October 6th, 2012

This meetup had it ALL -- an unprecedented turnout of participants from all over the country, In-N-Out burgers, a comfy hotel containing extremely patient and accommodating staff (thank you), brownies at every stop, coordinated choreography involving 60 or so Smarts, walkie talkies, one freeway overpass, one documentary film crew, and several perplexed nearby vehicles snapping camera phone pics... Corporate support from some very good sports sent by Smart to talk to all of us (and more… Continue

factory installed security alarm system

I have an 09 Smart and every now and again the security alarm goes off...for absolutely no apparent reason. Last spring when it happened at least once a day for several weeks, I called the dealer. They had no answers. Later in the spring when I was cleaning out the back of the car I noticed the chocolate I had in a grocery bag (all packaged up) had been chewed on by a little animal I would guess had to be a mouse or a little red squirrel. I cleaned everything up...no more problem...or so I…

52.4 miles per gallon

My 2008 Smart has gotten very good mileage since we got it last year (even when I drive it hard .. & we have big hills around the finger lakes). Last night I filled it & thought my computer was wrong, but at home I used another calculator ...52.4 mpg. Why don't the Germans capitalize on that ? Don't they want to sell cars ?

The info on fuel octane ratings for Smart cars that I found on this site last night was a total surprise. So Smart cars can use Regular gas ! Why don't the…

New Guide to Toxic Chemicals in Cars Helps Consumers Avoid "New Car Smell" As Major Source of Indoor Air Pollution

(Ann Arbor, MI) - Today the Ecology Center released its fourth consumer guide to toxic chemicals in cars at HealthyStuff.org, finding the Honda Civic at the top of this year's list, and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport at the bottom. Over 200 of the most popular 2011- and 2012-model vehicles were tested for chemicals that off-gas from parts such as the steering wheel, dashboard, armrests and seats. These chemicals contribute to "new car smell" and a variety of acute and long-term health…

just out of curiosity

Just out of curiosity, my gas mileage consistently has been between 50 and 55. This is even with chomping on it daily. Anybody else having the same good fortune as myself. My wife isn't doing so well with hers and thinks that I am blessed with a mutant engine.

Maryland Smart Car Roundup

I'd like to arrange a Maryland Smart Car Roundup.  However, Maryland is an oddly shaped little state and without fedback from potential attendees, I don't know where to hold it - Frederick?  Baltimore? Annapolis? Easton? St. Mary's City?  

 

If you're a Maryland Smart Car owner and you'd attend a smart fortwo roundup if it was a reasonable distance from your town, please respond with the name of the major city where you'd like to see the roundup held.…
