lovely video, but would you rather drade of power for fuel economy, or trade off fuel economy for a little more power, unles you get a tune on a diesel which will get you both potentially.
I have 2006 Smart diesel and use it for work. Great on fuel and costs me $15 Canadian to drive about 350 km weekly. Cheap as hell. My 2015 Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD cost $ 65 weekly. Only use the Lexus on snow days.
I'm also looking forward to get one of those Smart cars. I live in BC and this week just for commuting I'll probably be at 600 km... That's 5 days a week, just to get back and forth to work... My Audi A6 (which I love it to the sky) is costing me around $130 in gas, per week... That's just getting ridiculous. But I think I would opt out for the gasoline one... Any other useful tips you might want to share prior to buy one? Thanks!
@@RomanTrollanski You can pick up a diesel Smart cheap. Just make sure it's in good shape. 600 km a week should cost about $25 to $30. Kijjiji always have cars for sale.
@@RomanTrollanski my smart is a 2006 with about 145 km. Even the gas models are pretty good on mileage. Diesel only has a 22 ltr tank. Gas have 35 ltr.
Thanks for the very nice video, i want to ask whats your opinion about the smart fortwo on the A or B roads in the UK? Specially for commuting a distance about 30 miles
I've owned my Smart ForTwo diesel for 11 years, I drive 35 miles a day, a mixture of A roads and motorway, yes you do feel the bumps on the roads, I really can't complain, I've covered close to 140,000 miles and it's only let me down once, I would recommend it as a commuter as it's extremely economical, as was mentioned, a little bit slow at pulling away, but once it's going, it will sit at the legal speed limits until it runs out of diesel, I've never done that in my car, it doesn't go below 3 bars on the gauge, that's normally around 370-425 miles depending on whether I'm running late for work or not, that's around 21 litres of diesel, I normally go a week and a half between fill ups, averaging high 70's plus to the gallon. For someone who's always owned big vehicles, I really like this car, I don't see me parting with it any time soon
remapping can bring it up to around 66bhp and it is better on fuel, the only reason I haven't done it to my present vehicle is because I have an extended warranty
How much gonna be the insurance for new drivers? because i’m interested to buy a corsa D 1.0l petrol but I do like the smart. What advices could you give to me please ?
Cars & more yeh yeh i know bro, what do you think which car of those gonna be the cheapest insured: fiesta 07 1.2 - corsa 07 1.0-1.2. smart 0,6 petrol ?
the Smart is cheap for a young driver purely because it's a 2 seater so no posing with a group in the car, they're also not quick, they won't break any records, but they are good to drive, a bit like driving a go cart and they're safer than a Corsa in a collision which hopefully you'll never find out
Hi does your car doors just lock themselves? I try the door when I get to work and it won’t open have to press the unlock key symbol near the dashboard.
@@theo_konstantinou I live in Australia and I have a Smart fortwo 451 2010 mhd petrol 52kw(70hp), the consumption is around 12.5km per liter (city) if you use the stay stop system and if you drive slow otherwise it will be 10km per liter, Is not an economical car because it is a Mercedes and services and spare parts cost more.
Good video mate, but why do you or other people call it a smart car? It’s just a Smart, the brand is called smart. I mean you don’t say it’s a BMW Car do you? ✌️
Been looking for this comparison video thank you
lovely video, but would you rather drade of power for fuel economy, or trade off fuel economy for a little more power, unles you get a tune on a diesel which will get you both potentially.
For off road buggy conversion would you go for the extra power and response of the petrol engine VS diesel?
thats exactly what I asked.
what would you rather, alturnatively, you can get a tune for the diesel
All I needed to know bro thanks for the great video 👍🏼
Am thinking of getting one. But can’t decide between 0.8 and 1L. Which one do you think is best to run around in?

Thanks not too bad however I’ve always felt on rough roads you really feel every bump it would depends a lot on the roads.

0:44 had a laugh, you got serious inhaling air and everything only for the wind to hit the mic and screw things up 😂
I don’t know much about these engines but consider remapping more power, more effortless driving and better mpg
remapping can bring it up to around 66bhp and it is better on fuel, the only reason I haven't done it to my present vehicle is because I have an extended warranty
I think you can get chip to tune it.
I did this to a volkswagen TDI and it made it so much better... Also use HotShots cetane boost.
Norway - Poland and back soon with a 800cc Smart diesel.
Can't wait to see what kind of figures I get, it's gonna be a blast (^_^)
@Gibbon Don't really know, I have to buy the car first, but it's a little bit hard without money. Maybe I should apply on patreon as well...
@@Travelbeatcreations.official you are going to turn deaf.
Are you sure you don't want more torque?
Road tax here on a smart: Petrol 73£ Diesel 183£ both 2001 models (2010-2018 have lower tax and 2019+ have crazy tax)
Not really sure how the tax thing works 🤑

It seems like anything underneath the engine would be difficult to replace.
Thanks was very helpful... 👍

Do you still have this car? I’ve purchased one today and I have a question.
yes
what was the question?
@@silverjay4455maybe we will never know
Hi does your car doors just lock themselves? I try the door when I get to work and it won’t open have to press the unlock key symbol near the dashboard.
I lock/unlock through my key remote.
they're designed to lock as you start moving, if you pull the door handle twice that will also unlock it
get a k&n air filter or intake kit
I think is the most ecomic fuel car ?! I am right ?
no its not

Supercars Hunter Haha good point 😂
Because smart is a wide range used word, u don’t use the name BMW to address it to a person and u tell him u r so much BMW like u say u r so smart
SMART = Swatch Mercedes Art
The Smart Car is the brain child of the inventor of the Swatch - Nicholas Hayek
