All New 2016 Smart Fortwo: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know

[@rayspencer5025]

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!

[@V10PDTDI]

I like that you removed the engine cover. And I like that they offer the manual gear box.

[@graffiti73]

For real, manual trans for life, makes you feel alive🤘

[@FrankATracy]

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!

[@no0ne69_3]

Still faster then a Prius

[@zachdiaz1927]

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

[@stephen300o6]

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.

[@DemraSynfata]

theyre so cheap tho

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

I drive a 2009 Smart Car since New. It's now 2024 , October. I have 56K miles. Original with air conditioning. My Smart is apart of myself. I would not trade or sell. I've had this car since new. 15 years of ownership. 🚗

[@dit.p2598]

I love the fortwo just the best car in the city

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

These cars are a blast, and tremendous fun to drive. In the urban environment, there's nothing faster.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Dillon Yanick Er, this video concerns the smart. Why are you chuntering about Fiat⁉️🤔🙄

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Dillon Yanick I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who puts comments on the wrong thread.🙃🙁

[@ScaryGhost1]

It's a decent little car-thing but you do run the risk of like 3 people just walking away with it lol

[@freezor80]

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.

[@alvaromora5910]

This car would be good in overcrowded cities like San Francisco

[@gandalf7292]

So technically it's the first "french car" being introduced back in North America after French automakers left it in 90's

[@TFLcar]

That's true in a roundabout manner.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

+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.

[@gandalf7292]

+MrKeyboardCommando I know that a French sold it to Chrysler unfortunately

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Cole Phelps It's just what happened, and, apparently, is still happening.

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

Mario dablife I never said anything like that.

[@douglasthompson9482]

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.

[@rangerpru]

I was surprised to see that rear drum brakes are being used. I wonder why they aren't using 4 wheel disk brakes?

[@blueseas43]

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.

[@nikolanikola8543]

I have a smart car! Amazing car, fun to drive and surprisingly spacious on the inside!

[@BrianRoediger]

I loved my 2007 Smart, only thing I was missing was that third pedal. This would be perfect.

[@TheMJN75]

Let's just be honest....a Smart Car is just a Street-legal roller skate!

[@swagmusic8736]

But its swag

[@BreadCrispy]

But it's cute tho

[@ThePuffin77]

Without Nathan I guess we will not know how big the trunk is until you get to review one!

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.

[@Lo0o0odak]

I like this car pls don't judge me

[@RevengeofGothzilla]

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.

[@BreadCrispy]

Me too I love it but I don't care about other people's opinion

[@dannya4974]

Darko Marjanović I'm with you buddy.

[@Chamait]

Hey your not alone

[@SunsetfearOFFICIAL]

i don’t judge you i love it too

[@hagbard72]

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.

[@buildmorefarms1007]

I bet its peppy with that turbo with the manual and im sure handling will be decent with the rwd.

[@jivert1258]

I would trade my bicycle for this car

[@rick9021090210]

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!

[@Lax10000000]

I really want to drive one of these

[@BreadCrispy]

Gus Serks I would love it to do so

[@swinglow33]

So the Smart Product Manager's favorite feature of the car is the phone app? WOW!

[@RomanM803]

it finally looks like a car, not a toy.

[@914castro]

please! !!!!!! now competed with the Scion iQ. scion iq vs. Smart Fortwo.

[@tonyyang769]

When you here that old school ice cream truck @5:23 TBT childhood..

[@amacl10]

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.

[@CityChristina]

No, the newer ones are ugly. The old design looked much better.

[@Grasomat]

its sooo cute!

[@michaelmichaelmichea]

I like the first version best!

[@josegusman602]

I like the second version a better machine...

[@randy109]

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...

Very good car to buy, I have a 2015 Smart Car. Very good 👍 on gas.

[@hunghuge7717]

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.

[@jamarimutt]

+hung huge ... I have had one for four years and actually like the transmission.

[@JsnLwrnce]

Can these be driven on the highway?

[@ozan3065]

why not driven ? it is still a car just a slower than others

You guys should do a review or something on the new Honda Pilots

[@Kimbrough87]

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

[@MrGovenator1]

+ricco kimbrough Is it terrifying on the highway?

[@Kimbrough87]

+MrGovenator1 no not at all it just a rumor people tend to just say that but test drive it and see for your self

[@MrGovenator1]

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.

[@Kimbrough87]

+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

[@MrGovenator1]

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.

[@robbiesheppard3280]

In Australia we have lots of French cars a quite a few Smarts hehe

are they gonna import some manual version to North America?

[@jtr990]

Any word about the forfour? Glad this car came with a stick shift.

[@foonghh8878]

what is it at the rear wheel? it looks like an alternator but what is that actually?

[@MrGovenator1]

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.

[@Eloderung]

+MrGovenator1 It has higher fuel economy than any other pure-ICE car out there.

that German guy is really good at marketing

[@001GenLee]

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!!!

[@techismycologne]

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.

[@DoABarrilRoll]

+Mr Figglybobo i am driving this Smart with 50 MPG ;)

[@joes.7536]

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.

+The Fast Lane Car Premium gas, and it still makes the Prius look like a Hellcat...

[@Nemofishman]

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).

[@urfriendcharles]

Yeah I really like this car but I don't think the MPGs and performance are not high enough to justify premium gas.

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

[@josegusman602]

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!

[@agoogleuser8219]

$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?
