Forum: c453 - General discussions relating to the fortwo

Hi looking to buy a new c453 and have a budget of £16,000. Can you recommend a petrol automatic version which fits that budget. Thanks.

Had a play with the Smart Media System this morning and successfully paired with my iPhone XR over Bluetooth. However when I tried to playback music it wouldn’t play, does this mean my head unit is not compatible with my iPhone XR?

If like me you have an iPhone and don't want to switch to Android for Android Auto I recommend getting either a Samsung Galaxy S5 or Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini. Both can be had in good condition for about £ 50 on eBay. I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini and paid £ 53.90 for it including delivery on...

I'm looking to move into a 453 later this this year. I'm a low mileage user so will likely go 1.0 rather than the turbo - I've driven both flavours and didn't think the difference was enough to get excited over (I also have a Gen II Hayabusa, and most cars feel quite turgid after a blast on that)....

ABS and Traction Control Lights both came on at the same time. Any ideas what that means?

I have been searching for a 453 for quite a while now but just can’t seem to find one with the spec I wanted along with the options. I have found a used 453 that has the spec I want except the Active Brake Assist and the Lane Keeping Assist options. Does anyone know if the “Active Brake Assist”...

I was just wondering if my car should smell hot after going up very steep hills. I would expect it to. However passenger the other day doesn't think it is normal. Proxy prem plus manual non turbo. Also what are people getting as their average eco score.

So my exhaust failed unexpectedly (I’m still hoping that the dealer and/or smart will see the light and replace gratis - talks ongoing) On a 3.5 year old car with 33K on the clock, I’m not taking it sitting down that it’s failed. The flexi pipe failed. ...

Hi all. So I've covered enough miles in my ForTwo that the rears are very borderline illegal and need replacing (done circa 27,500 miles). The fronts look like new, which was the same with my Roadster, it used to do two rear sets to one front. Anyhow, just like the Roadster there seems to...

Well just heard some news that Geely has bought a 50 percent stake in Daimler smart and will in future concentrate on purely electric smarts and will be made in china. So sad news for hambach workers who have been so loyal in the brand.

Hi all, Had a look about to see if anyone else had posted but not really found the answer. I have a 453 Sport Premium Turbo DCT I'd like to get remapped, I got a quote from Celtic Tuning and wondered if anyone has used them for this purpose before? Living in the North East I don't want to...

I know there are a few people offering these remaps. Claimed numbers seem to vary from 107bhp (I assume something similar to what a Brabus runs), to 118 and 121bhp are what I've seen. However I'm more curious on peoples experiences. Going from 89hp to 121hp is a BIG jump in power, both in...

Hi i maybe old school but as i see it smart if they stop producing the petrol for two and turbo which i think maybe coming im not at all keen as i heard the electric was tested and used in a normal way only went around 90 miles well for me thats no use and i know the eu is paranoid about...

This is my new Smarty, bought used with 14500km, 1.0L Passion 71HP. i have added some feature: Very very dark Windows, front fog light LED front H4 LED rear turn light LED Painted front/rear spoiler Front Brabus spolier

Hi guys, back again here, out for a while, but low work season leaves me with extra free time so started to surf the internet and found a few news about our smarts. First is that you can find a nice spot to share stuff about 453 in facebook, search for smart 453 forum and you will start to go...

I came across this accidently while looking around on Tomtom: From the site: "The GPS Week Number Rollover (WNRO) occurs every 19 years, with the next roll over taking place on 6 April 2019. Similar to odometers in older cars rolling over from 99,999 km to 0, the GPS WNRO is the resetting of the...

What sort of mileage would you expect the original discs and pads to last, roughly obviously. Also, anyone got the OEM part Nos so I can look up 3rd party options.
