The comments suggest I should not buy 2000 model for sale in Sydney Australia for my bitumen lap of Australia. Yes? No?

read the Manuel before opening the hood ...... Almost broke the front hood

A joy to watch you work , lucky customer.

The wheels on the 560 SEC are nice. Were those the original wheels?

My Aunt had a champagne metallic 560 SEL. It was awesome!

Just buy FACELIFT and your problems are solved.... for so many years i have almost none problems with electronics, engines are bulletproof, 5g tronic is beast.. just buy facelift - im pretty sure almost none of the parts from prefacelift are same - buttons, seats, modules, fuses, navi, even the trims are different and the whole exterior... so when you look reviews dont compare prefacelift with facelift it is very important!

17z weight?

it’s such a perfect car though it’s not bad at all

What is the engine/ignition control in the car?

My experience with perpendicular parking in my 2008 smart is that police don't know what to do with that practice so they just ignore it to avoid having to deal with it. The later model smarts have even tighter turning radius.

It should be half the tax of a 4 seat car to get people to use less road space. The gearbox was to improve fuel consumption of a manual without having to shift.

Next episode when???? nice videos guys, i wish u some luck to fixe it

one of the best reviews, thank you

A lot of terms for cars today have origins in horse-drawn carriages. Examples are like coupe, sedan, landau, cabriolet, phaeton, brougham. A spider was a very small open carriage with big spindly wooden wheels. You can picture how it can kind of look like a spider. So the carriage word got transferred over to very small open cars. How do I know this? My very first car was a Fiat 850 Spider. I know it has kind of a Zoolander vibe today but way back in the 70’s when I was a teenager, my girlfriend thought it was pretty bitchin’.

Two clips in the front grill actually unlock the hood. Why was that missed

I am typing this as my 2003 S55 AMG sits in my garage doing what it does best (being a paperweight). Virtually all of the problems mentioned I have experienced. The PSE failed about two months ago (I swear these systems must have a 20-year timer) and I can no longer lock my doors or open the trunk without using the emergency key. The soft-closing doors were all working with the exception of the drivers side door (which was intermittent). I was having problems with the battery suddenly dying and, after replacing the alternator (the alternator was the true cause after it finally died), I no longer have that issue. I was experiencing weird dash error messages [ABS, BAS, ESP, etc.] at one time; I had to overhaul the EIS [electronic ignition system] to repair this issue (which also fixed my issue with non-functioning windshield wipers). And now, the ABC suspension. I replaced two struts and a hydraulic line, thinking everything was okay. The ABC failed on me two weeks ago (on the highway), leaving me having to get it towed back home (thank goodness for AAA). There it sits, half an inch off the ground. I should be contemplating rolling it off a cliff, but I'm still considering a coilover suspension. The power is insane; there are few vehicles that can compete with it even today.

Owned mine for 10 years no serious problems. Keep up the basic maintenance 👍 Get compliments all the time. Luv my Smart Car ❤

I have a 2013 Fortwo. I LOVE this car. We have driven it all through Washington, Oregon and Northern California, the length of the coast and well inland on winding, hilly roads as well as a few thousand miles of freeway travel. Never a problem. Saved hundreds of dollars in fuel costs compared to a regular sized car. The only things I absolutely hate about the car is that the flash drive port is in the glove compartment. I have to pull over to change the drive/music because it is dangerous to do it while in motion. The other thing is the rear view mirror being too big and too low. You have to duck to look around it when taking a right turn, on a right curve especially on a hill. The mirror could be narrower and higher up. Aside from that, I love it. Also, I paid $6500 for the car 5 years ago. Even with mileage, wear and tear and added age, I can easily trade it in or sell it now for $9000/$11000.

quality informative video. Deserves more love! Shoutout to all the other aspiring drifters !

Give me a LS any day

If it is hard to start when hot the first thing you should check is the crank position sensor... Should never be hard to start under any circumstances.

I'm 5 foot 11 and I at best smart for 2 passion 2013 I've got 97K it's the most fun car and I've got more compliments and it's maintenance it's free out there just keep that in mind everybody just get your oils changed at the right interval and I also tow it behind my motor home great toe vehicle flat tow, No electric, gas

I have 2008 convertible, smart car and I love it

those are some crazy door speakers lol

Water duh

This dog is a ULLAH

thank you

Which turbo and what kind of exhaust housing and which exhaust manifold do you drive and is there the OEM camshaft in it greetings from germany Love your CE

Great videos seems like the production quality is getting better keep up all the hard work!

This gave me such a comfort that I am not alone 😂- I have this love-hate relationship with my 2002 S55 AMG - mine is currently awaiting ABC hose (second one now) from FCP EURO - although I think it will be back in running condition - it is a matter of time before something else breaks. I am a DIY guy so, at the beginning it was fun browsing and finding ways to fix things - but this is growing old on me now and my wallet is feeling it. My GS430 is the real deal and daily driver nowadays.

At what point will u need to upgrade to a bigger fuel pump when running turbo

It's not an automatic. The reason it cuts power while shifting is because it is an automated manual transmission, also known as a robotized manual transmission, is a transmission with a clutch. Just like a manual, you don't get power while shifting gears. Hence why you lose power while the Smart car transmission system shifts. Took this car on a road trip across Europe with a friend. Visited 19 countries over two months.

Looks fantastic in black with the snow background. I got one of these about 3 months ago in titan grey. A 955 turbo. I can vouch for everything this gentleman has said. Drives like a Porsche. Lovely torque even below 3000rpm. Above 3000rpm is where the real fun begins 😂😂

I don't care how much power it don't have. It is still after over 40 years, my favorite car! Drove one once that was a single valve injected lowest HP of them all but still my fave. Those Dino lines homage never disappoint.

Aye waiting to see the parts list for the back too

This car is a Mechanics Dream and a non-Mechanics Nightmare

These cars don't perform best at Full throttle (100/100) they do best around (25-30/100)

The trick for locking the doors manually is lock the Rear door last because you can't lock the Front doors while they're open but you can lock the rear doors while they're open

If you need air ride suspension look up arnott incorporated . Life time warranty .

I own 2 both fantastic. My s500 had veen incredibly reliable

Looks fantastic on the road. Appears to go pretty good too. I love this car. Keep us posted...

I love this car Let the adventure begin

lol I actually drug a tree out of the road with mine 06 ctts

Looks like its pulling harder!

They didn't make a Rabbit GTI in 1981.

Mine needs paint job, and full interior restoration

That's a gorgeous long body Benz .

Love it man.

You’re not allowed to park the 600 outside !!! 😞

Nice stable of cars there. Older euros and american pick up truck. Thats what i am aiming for
