Hello everyone! Today I have the 600th video on my channel and it is a video on the third generation C453 smart fortwo. The fortwo in the video is a 2015 car in passion trim. This was my second rental car in Germany after the Touareg of which the video will be the next one uploaded. Enjoy!
I love watching car video reviews. And I must say, I love how thorough you are. You literally leave no button unpressed or feature unexplained. The best car review video I've ever seen! Autoexpress, Whatcar and Carbuyer etc could all learn a thing or two from you haha :-)
Lee Oliver Thanks mate! Haha. That's a big compliment.
I'm glad they moved the ignition switch to the steering column. A lot of dirt settles into the horizontal one. I'm currently leasing a 2014 fortwo. I can't wait for 2017 to get one of these!
I watching your reviews from 2013 , you are the best person , you complete each and every aspect of the car.
Very good review! I've seen no other clip with such details. Thanks for the good work.
There are a few open questions, though:
1. It seems to be complicated to check the engine oil. Is that the case?
2. The key has 3 buttons. What are they for?
3. Is there enough head- and leg room for people over 180 cm?
4. How does the heating work? Does it get warm fast or are you freezing for miles and miles?
Maybe, you could please provide some answers? Or does anybody else know?
Best regards, Svenja
Svendura I can’t answer the other questions but I saw a 6”2 guy sitting in it and he said it was surprisingly spacious.
My word... It is even more hideous than previously. Truly remarkable.
Great in-depth review. I am looking at buying the Electric version of this car, but this review helps me a lot, with the inside and design of the car.
I've just bought a 2013 smart fortwo Passion and looking at the new design I'm glad I have the old one! It looks like a French car now. Such a shame.
exactly
For this video I wish you had all 3 models; passion, premium and proxy. The most important thing is to see the difference in features/spec/performance.
Brilliant review mate! :)
but you do no what this walk around review was very informative.And just maybe in the future, I will buy a Smart Car!
The 2015 Smart in the U.S. is still the old body style. Will not get the new one until 2016 models are available.
***** I have not seen anything that says engine and transmission options available in the Europe will be offered in the USA. That would be great, but they were not before.
***** Sweet.
Excellent video..
Very nice video, thank you!
Thank you for this video.
gracias ,buena good info...
Thanks for a very good job.
Thank you.
Timeless
These are very fun cars to drive. Unfortunately I sometimes get idiot drivers who like to eff with me when I drive mine.
Hi !!!!Excellent job!!!!!😁
Decent video! 👌

The gear lever is from Renault no??
Roberto Brito Falero Yes it is. Like I said, the fortwo/forfour was developed in conjunction with Renault, hence some of the parts in the car are shared with the Twingo.
In California I found a little bit of Smart cars.
After all ... worth buying ?
Near BMW HQ! What kind of job do you have? Every video is in a different country.
Mathijs Groen Haha. I was on holiday in Germany.
alexlovesmac hey alex I was thinking are some of your videos done in Malaysia? I was just thinking please let me know and also keep up the good work
Is the car noisy in the cabin? Since basically the engine of the car is in the cabin ... ?
B. V. No unless you floor it
is this car to noisy from inside?
campare to mitsubishi mirage?
i need to know please
Hemen Kareamg it's not noisy inside unless you floor it
Hows the fuel economy on this thing?
I think I just heard Paultan music
hourgmorn The music I use is widely available on RUclips's Audio Library.
I see so many Renault parts....including the key.
Dodo M As mentioned in the video, the 2015 fortwo and forfour was developed in conjunction with Renault Twingo, hence it is not surprising to see many parts shared between the smart and the Twingo.
Thanks for the reply.
Estimated price?
Oh right
testing renault twizy
I want to know the price of a smart fortwo
Khophi Turner idk new but used you can find it at about 5000$ CAD
How the hell did you get a Manuel?!?
diesel?
Its Indian SaabKyle04.
+Patryk Kadzikiewicz I'm not Indian nor do I sound Indian...
Then what are you? if you no who Saabkyle04 is, you review cars the same way. You're Plagiarizing his Brand. But other then that I like the smart cart for two and found your video very informing.
+Patryk Kadzikiewicz Well, yes, I do agree that Kyle did start the whole format of reviewing cars this way, of which many people have followed on. I do follow this format as well because I think that there are not many ways that one is able to present to others a complete "video version" of a car's manual as I would like to put it. Many others and I owe it to him for starting this format.
+alexlovesmac I agree with you, there aren't many other formats for creating videos. Despite this, you could've tried to make your videos NOT direct copies of saabkyle04's. You could've changed your videos a little bit, but you didnt.
+Jake Smiley Doesn't look like a direct copy to me. There are differences in between Kyle's and Alex's videos.
Interesting they use manuals in Europe instead of the CVTs here in the US.
dave11686 smarts never had CVTs. And this is the first fortwo generation with a manual.
alexlovesmac my apologies.
dave11686 smart had AMT (motorized manual) gearboxes in the first generation, and now uses DCT (dual clutch) gearboxes.
💪👍👍👍
Does anyone know if the moonroof on the coupe opens?
Nightbird No, it's a panoramic roof. The whole roof is see-through. It has a shade you can pull across it for hot days.
Lisa Dee Dee Oh that's too bad! My current car has a moonroof and I love driving with it open to feel the cool air on the top of my head and not have to use the air conditioner. I guess I would have to get the cabrio model then?
Yeah, if you want that feeling! LOL I have the panoramic roof, and it's nice, but when my lease is up and I get another, I'm going for the cabrio.
Lisa Dee Dee So do you have the 2015 model that is in this video..and if yes..what do you like and dislike about the car?
No, I have a 2014 model. This is not the 2015 model in the US. This new model won't be available until later this year as a 2016 model year.
Kereta ini berasal dari indonesia
I'm going to sound really boring here, but that gear stick looks exactly the same as the one you get in the majority Renaults from 2005 to present. Even the car key looks the exact same to that of a Renault Clio Mk 3 and 4, just different badging:

+John Petterson That is because the engine and transmission in the smart is from Renault.
No floor mats?
Why only 360p?
Rafael Ramos You have got to learn to be patient... RUclips takes awhile to process the video after I've just uploaded it.
alexlovesmac You have got to learn to be less rude.
Rafael Ramos I wasn't being rude. I was merely answering your question.
No problem :)
smart with manual gearbox is not a smart!!!!!!!
اريد توصلياها لبعقوبة ب 500 دولار
早く日本でも発売しないかなぁ・・・
macho nabe English please?
alexlovesmac He said, "Soon I wonder if not released in Japan ..."
Google translate is your friend.
u got spare key lol
Huh? The key I used was the main key.
@@alexlovesmac hmm strange maybe u got basic smart cos i got one key with lock unlock buttons and boot open. and second key like yours mine 2016 smart
Is yours the flip key? That's an option in certain markets.
@@alexlovesmac yes im from uk
91km on the Display and 5000rpm. This Engine will be killed by testdriver.
looks more french than german
This is good, german cars are often boring.
nice review but you are very very slowto get to the car and start it up
Gmu,timeda system is renault :(
Erim KOCA As mentioned, the new fortwo and forfour was developed in cooperation with Renault, hence some bits and pieces in the car are taken from the Renault parts bin. The key is from Renault, the head unit is from Renault, the engine is from Renault, etc.
Its literally a printer
I don't think that's what literally means.
Those headlights are so bad, I actually like the previous gen Fortwo much better because it has lenses and the fact that it resembles the current gen Mercedes CLS of that time, it even looks better.
This revamped version looks like it was redesigned by some drunk dude, and the signature 3 lug wheels has been replaced for a 4 lug one.
Doesn't look inspiring at all.
I absolutely *HATE* the fact that they removed the diesel from the lineup, a cheaper fuel giving you 6/6 of the range compared to gasoline which is more expensive to buy and *only* gives you 4/6 of the range.
I'm going to buy a Fortwo, but I'm going for the previous one with diesel, and the reason is obvious.
Two stops to fill up 33 liter, times two with a total of 66 liter, will give me a total range from Oslo in Norway to Krakow in Poland with just about 100 euro or less with road only driving.
10 km with consuption of just 0,36...
Prove to me that something better exist, I dare you!
does not look comfortable
***** It is though. I'm a 'hefty' woman, and fit comfortably in the second generation, this new one is 4" wider, so it's probably just as, if not more comfy.
It's not a good car with the engine to the hatch and to open the hood...
Ive just test driven both gearboxes of the smart fortwo in a passion and prime guise and they are absolutely awful! Ive owned smarts since 2001. Do not believe the reviews you may read on the net the people are paid to review it highly. The manual is guttless in 4th gear. The automatic changes at glacial speeds and then decides to change up and down constantly when going around bends. The interior is badly designed with most things poorly located for the driver, the cup holders only hold coffee cups, the boot is smaller than the original 1998 smart fortwo. The 'bonnet' makes it look damned fugly and the loss of the rear wheel arch body panel spoils the original lines. There is less room inside in comparison to the out going model. They are overpriced and poorly designed, you have been warned! The 1.0 litre engine matched with an automatic gearbox leaves you wanting to kick it in the ditch. The glovebox is just that, a box for gloves, you wont get anything else in there. The rear wiper is tiny and doesnt effectively clear the rear window. The boot is higher than previous versions of the smart and the roof is lower. Which makes it more difficult to get things in the boot. The smart community warned Daimler about what they were designing and that they were making a mistake, but they have pushed ahead and the result is the ugliest car on the road which is overpriced, poorly designed and smaller than the outgoing model. All so they could add the god awful bonnet. There are so many faults with the cars that I cannot mention them all. Also the fuel consumption is no where near what is quoted in real life you are going to be lucky to achieve 6.5l/100km. If you want a fortwo and can work on cars get a 1st gen Smart, if you cant work on cars at all dont bother whatsoever!
+blood scrap I have the new 2016 smart (my 3rd smart) and this year's smart (2016 in the u.s.) is FANTASTIC! I am not paid for leaving this review.. lol.. I truly LOVE this car! blood scrap, if you having nothing nice to say, why say anything at all?
Unless I've missed something, these cars have a major flaw. All you need to do to unlock the bonnet/ hood is pull on two catches and lift the hood off! Unlock-able from the outside?! So, totally vulnerable! It is not a smart car, then. It is a thick as shit car.
It is lockable. You pull a cover off the right hand pull tab, and insert the car key. Turn 90 degreed and it locks it in place. Reverse to unlock.
