I have the Eco Drive function in my 2009 smart 451 mhd. I never use it. All I had to change: the belts after 57862 miles. Plus of course the filters, oil, AC filters and AC gas. Still going strong...I bought b4 brexit a complete motor, clutch, brakes, accelerator as a original package just for €1250.00.
Had my 453 cabrio since new 2019. I never use start stop on any car, as it wears engine components over time, and also reduces car battery life. It is also temperamental if it is going to work or not, as there are so many road conditions that have to met. So not worth the effort to save on a few drops of fuel. In the 453 you can either switch off the stop start at start of every journey (as I do via the stop start button), or get it re-programmed (coded) to switch off start stop permanently. One other option you mentioned above is an electronic circuit fitted to the back of the stop start switch, though its quite costly at £60 from Ebay. Conclusion...Start stop is total rubbish and should never have been imposed on us in Europe and UK. The USA 453 model was luckier as start stop was never fitted.

So that car will be going strong for a looooong time 💪
