Love my 2016 Smart for Two Passion. Depending on temperature and humidity and overall driving habits, one can squeeze out more than the 36 combined miles per gallon. Just had my 40,000 Mi routine maintenance, over the last 10,000 Mi. The average mpg was 40.9 Mi to the gallon.

Cool! Finally got to hear one of those take off under hard acceleration. Sounds great 👍👍

Just subscribed. Great video. Love your 453.

Wow!

SMART FOR TWO JUST THE BEST CAR IN THE CITY I LOVE THE 453❤❤❤

Do you think you can talk more about traction control and why people want it off on a smart car? I’ve been looking into that because I’ve been wanting to spin the wheels and drift over steer haha. Love you videos man!

It’s a big deal for me too! I want to be able to push the car some more and also do some shenanigans like you! 🤣

What phone mount are you using? The stock mount isn't the best how it blocks the radio buttons....

Actually the old 1,0 451 turbo version has 84 HP, and is the direct comparrison to the 0,9 453, not the 71 HP non turbo version, the old is actually a fraction faster,, providing you manage to shift right ;-) Fuel economy is different too, old is 20,4 KM/L the new is 24,4 KM/L or about 20% better economy

Yep thing is The states didn't get the 451 turbo just the normal 71 bhp and the PRND transmission but the 1.0T mitsubishi engine is much more reliable and have way more tuning capability

Hi Paul, how many rolls of vinyl wrap did you order to cover your Smart?

Can’t wait to see some mods!!

I agree with your review 100% :) the new 453 is much better than the old 451. I had a 2010 and now have a 2015 and love it. I have a panoramic roof which is great! Are you going to upgrade the wheel trims?! Would look loads better with alloys - cheers from the UK :-)

I recently posted my finished Smart! Wheels are done!

Does any heat from the engine radiate up into the rear [trunk?] storage area?

I haven't noticed any. My 451 on the other hand did have a lot of heat!

I have aftermarket android headunit and made speak button remap as next track button. Problem solved :)

Can you do an updated video about your dogs in this new smart car? Does this newer smart car allow the passenger side to flatten out so a dog can hang out with more space? Thank you!!

My 453 ev is brilliant , for a city car I would not swap it for anything.

You can probably disable Traction control by removing the ABS fuse

Doesn’t work on these cars. Many forums and pulling fuses later, still can’t do it.

​@@smrtman I found this on a forum Miss Mercedes said: Wait, are you saying you discovered how to turn off esp in a 453? Fuse 7. A year ago when I had my alarm going off and I removed the fuse I discovered this... the horn stopped working, so did the traction control.

Have you driven the 450 ForTwo?
