2017 smartFortwo Passion For Sale

I bought a new 2008 smart passion . I eventually got used to it’s quirky transmission, mastered the paddle shifters and loved it. Kept it 9 1/2 years . Oil changes, brakes, tires and gas. Never a breakdown. Not even a battery. Bought a new 2017 smart prime cabrio. HUGE improvement over my 2008. Absolutely love it. If the 2008 - 2015 smarts were like the 2016’s and newer, the sales would have been much better. I miss the paddle shifters but the hp, turbo, dual clutch automatic, Bluetooth, cruse control, sharper turning radius, nicer interior, better gas mileage and convertible top more than make up for it.

I love my Smart Car! It is the 2014 Bo Concept with high interior zippy, handles on a dime, I feel as safe in this as I do in my truck. With the 6 airbags and the Tridion steel safety shell is a hemispherical steel cage that encloses the interior of the car The IIHS gave the Fortwo top ratings in protecting passengers in front and side crashes. It is safer/as than many high end luxury Japanese/or US made with Chinese-India-wherever parts from the USA. Mileage is OK at 37+ mpg Premium = about 300 miles 8+ gallon fill up. I have driven my Smart to 97 mph in the US and while in Germany in 2014, I drove a relatives old American car all over Germany Autobahn, occasionally at almost 150 kph/93 mph and had a smart car pass me. I was impressed at the German dealership. Bought my new 2014 Bo Concept Smart fortwo with its interior by Dansk, its total Luxury.

I bought a used 09 in 2014 and drove it to 130,000. Nothing wrong with it, but I got a deal on a 2017 that a could not pass up. I have had it for 11 months and have put 20000 miles on it. Had a problem with the radio but it was fixed at the 10000 check up. A big difference between the 09 and the 2017. The 17 has a much better ride than the 09 even though they are the same length. Much better pickup than the 09, but I was not that disappointed with it, but was impressed with the improvement. Interior appointments on both cars are typical Mercedes. The new one is even better than the old one. Interior sound levels are much improved over the old model and the extra 2 inch width does make a difference. Automatic trans is much improved over the old one. The many complaints I read about the old one, which were very negative, were a bit over the top. Once you learned how to drive it, it wasnt so quarkey. As a daily runner, for one or two people, it is a great machine. Dealer ship check up are at Mercedes prices. Highway travel (20,000) in 11 months, are comfortable and inexpensive. Love the turning ability and the easy parking capability.
