Just what I have always wanted

I’ve wanted a smart car for 15 years and finally decided to purchase one as a second vehicle. Great little car. Perfect for running errands. A fun little car to drive

Misnomer

For something that is supposedly a gas sipper this thing is a joke. Luckily the price was enough that I didn't fall for it, quite expensive for what you're getting. I looked up the gas mileage on a fuel economy. Gov and I wasn't very happy. If your summer runt that's 5 foot tall and deliver pizzas inside the city limits of a 25 mile an hour Zone maybe this car would be okay. But if you want to take it on the road and bring it up to speed you feel like it's a coffin with wheels.

ALMOST BRAND NEW! ONLY 400 ACTUAL MILES

I’m a car collector so I bought this car for the very low miles. It’s better than day it drove brand new out of showroom! Even stills smells new! Chances are this is the lowest mile gas powered 2015 Smart Fortwo you could ever find for sale. Perfect car for towing behind motorhome, food delivery business, mobile billboard to promote your business, or just use for every day commute.

Fun to drive

Economical and easy to park are the main reasons we love this car. It is also small and light weight enough to be towed by our RV.

My favorite vehicle that I have owned!

I bought the car with 8k miles on it at a dealership 9 hours from my house, without having driven one or seeing it in person. At first the transmission jerk was strange but it is like driving a go-kart on steroids. We drove it 95mph all the way back from Texas as I had a work obligation that evening and it performed flawlessly! The jerk in the transmission gets much better the longer you drive it. I am now over 20k miles and it has been a flawless vehicle. The stock front brakes are trash so I bought a new set from O'Reillys and as it was my first brake change it took me 25 minutes to do the first side of the car and only 7 minutes to change the passenger side. Other than that I have had to do nothing to the car at all! Also, fun fact don't run the A/C for long periods on the lowest temp it will freeze up, but if you run it one notch up @ 60 degrees it has no issues. I have owned many new vehicles and this used little go-kart is by far the most fun vehicle I have owned. Pros: Great gas mileage, way way more roomie that you can even believe possible. Seriously, I travel and play Warhammer and I can put all of my giant army bags in it with no issues at all. It is faster than you think and the rear wheel drive gives you the kick you need. Very responsive handling. Cons: Doesn't drive super well in really windy days on the freeway, the small tires are responsive and that means to the wind as well. Seats do not recline, but they aren't designed to on the driver side at least.

I own three cars (corvette, porsche, and smart)

I like the car. I would rate it high in every aspect accept e-way driving. Unstable in my opinion at highway speeds and windy conditions. I like the car and only use 4 gallons of gas per week. I can not recommend due to the brand being abandon by the manufacturer (Mercedes) . Most Mercedes dealers will not work on these cars only smart service centers (few) and these will also not last long.

Excellent grocery getter and commute car.

Great car for students, RVers, and single city dwellers! Gas mileage is unbeatable and it’s easy to park. The trunk area is roomy and I never experienced issues with packing full of things. Overall, a great small car for one or two.
