Candy Trudell I am so lucky to find my Smart in nowhere IL

I got my Smarty on 8/12/10 and on 8/17/10, I had time to check the net, I am going to try and make the event. I missed it last Spring my Scoot, due to rain. One of the best parts of the trip from IL. to FL and back was on the way home we hit a rest stop and a flock of Smarts pulled in. I screamed like a kid and asked a hundred questions. One of the cars was going home to FL. they were going home from a WI rally. Well, I said you did that in a toaster. They started to check out our bikes and went… Continue

Michael Randall Mileage and more mods

My first tank I got 38.11 mpg using Mobil/Exxon 91.

My second, most recent tank I got 38.99 mpg using Kwik Trip 91.

After reading about the lack of thermocouplers in the 2008 heated mirrors, I checked it out and sure enough, at 75 degrees F outside, my mirrors were heating. I added a lighted switch in the outboard cubby hole to turn them on and off.

Mary Mascarenhas Not happy at all....

I had some issues with manufacturer. It is not common to have this on other manufactured autos but Smart is not coming clean with their problem. I had a fuel pump fail in my 08 model ( cabrio) and took it in for repairs and found out the cost was nearly 1,000.00 because it is located under car cover in the tank. The real issue is that it failed so early in the car's life. Most other cars out there do not experience this till well into the 100k. My mechanic says he's seen several already ( 08)

Michael Randall Farkled already

I just got my '08 Passion Coupe on Saturday and I've already added:

Trim badge that says "Size Matters" to the lower edge of the rear window, just above the Smart badge, and Concept X LED micro lights to the bottom of the dash to light up the floor. I think there's enough wire to run them to the interior light so they come on when you open the door, but right now I can turn them on without the interior light and enjoy the blue LED glow. The power adapter is also lighted when on

Bruce Perry Kicker

I have 50,000 miles on my passion. The ventilating fan has not worked properly for about 30,000 miles. No warranty coverage. They want $350 plus labor to replace it. Smart knows of the problem as the dealer told me to "Kick" it to get it to run intermitently! Now it wont go at all. Anyone else had the problem? What's a better solution? Continue

Dave Hyatt Road Tax and Insurance

I have just purchased my very first "Smart Passion" first registered in 2005. I live in th UK so don't know any comparison of Road Tax or Insurance on these cars elsewhere in the world. Because the UKs road tax is calculated mostly on co2 emissions, the great majority of Smart Cars of my model fall into the £35.00 a year bracket meaning they emit below 120g/kmof co2. My Smart however seems to have 1g/km co2 more than the majority, meaning it

Dave Tire Wear & Roof Checking

Is anyone else having these problems? Tires - I recently had to replace my front tires at 20,000 miles due to cupping and excess wear on the inside. I had a four wheel alignnment performed ($99.95!?) which showed the front end only slightly out on one side, not nearly enough to have caused the wear. Could this be a design or specification problem? Roof - The plastic roof panel has developed a "checking" problem all over. These are little cracks throughout the panel that weren't there for the f… Continue

Julie O. Smart Stories from Julie's Garage - January 15, 2010

It happened. My nightmare. My Smart car, Maxwell, was hit. On my way home from work on Wednesday, January 13th, I was in a line of cars waiting for a red light (I was 5th or 6th in line) when I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a car coming up behind me. I could see the top of the driver's head, which told me he was texting! I watched in horror and realized he wasn't looking up to check the road. 'Crap,' I thought. 'He's not going to stop.' (Actually, it wasn't 'cr… Continue

Keyaira Rogers Elizabeth

I took my purple smart car to a hand car wash in LA a couple weeks ago. It was the first smart car to go through their car wash. I could tell because the workers didn't know how to handel it exactly. They poked fun at how small it was and acted like they could pick it up. It was amusing. I think that the next time a smart car goes through their car wash they will not be so surprised. I'm just glad I was the one to pop their smart car cherry. ;-P Continue

Brian Ainsworth Tampa Smart Center

I just had my first flat tire, true to my luck it busted the rim at the same time. I though I was extremely fortunate because it happened in Tamps 4 Miles from the Smart Center, boy was I wrong. I guess I'm a little spoiled because I've dealt with the Orange Park (JAX) location and the facility Is impeccable and the service top notch but Not all Mercedes dealerships are built the same. The Tampa Location looks and feels like a subway station in Manhattan and is far dirtier the service has been s… Continue
