How are you finding the acceleration? I regularly drive on the motorway so I was just wondering if the diesel has enough power or if you'd recommend going for the more powerful petrol?
@@2010SmartFortwo anything resembling a hill and it requires manual mode, if set to auto it changes up too early and then loses all momentum. At motorway speeds it’s ok 65mph after that it gets a bit white knuckle due to buffeting and an incline and it’s best to down shift early to 4th manually otherwise in auto it will labour on in 5th and lose all momentum.
That was just to bad!! Hope you can fix it soon!
Just got an 2011 Smart cdi so loving your Smart vids.

@@davefarrow4351 oh ok thanks for replying, does the diesel feel very slow on the motorway?
What was causing this issue
I am not as capable as you, and I regret that.
