Forum: c453 - General discussions relating to the fortwo

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...

My 453 prime 90 used to be 155kph (~96mph) max , after the cars last service it’s gone up to 160kph (~100mph) ? ........... Has there been an ECU/software update ? I also notice when first started (engine cold) it will pulse the throttle at idle .... some engine management emissions change...

Does anyone have any links or a guide on how to replace the exterior panel on a 453? (there are a couple on older models, albeit not very good on Youtube but none for the 453 ). I've been quoted 2 hrs labour.

So, I’ve had my ForTwo (c453) for over a year now. And mostly only positive thoughts on it. I have encountered a couple of niggles and wondered if others had encountered the same. 1. The windows mist up a lot. This morning in a bit of rain was a good example, leaving the AC on auto...

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...

Need some new tyres in the next month or so. I have the Prime Sport with 16” wheels. Are there any other options than the oem Continentals? Seems most other brands either the front size OR the rear, but not both. Also, anyone found any all weather tyres? Winter I can find.

I know we have some smarties that have access to information us lay-people don't have, and asking our local smart dealer doesn't really help, so I'm relying on the kindness of strangers to answer this pretty specific Apple → smart Media-System question I bought a demo late 2016 ForTwo with the...

Hey all, I'm reading that the current models of the smart Media System includes (or may include) Android Auto, and some articles mention Carplay coming too. Can anybody confirm this, and maybe say if this is backward compatible somehow? I drove a loan 2017 and noticed the interface is...

I found a delicious irony in the interaction between the Cruise Control function and the Eco-Score meter. Say you set your car Cruise control to 120km/h, but due to traffic, you slow down to 110 km/h. Cruise control smartly disengages until you’re ready again. The road opens up again, so you...

I’ve got a spare phone cradle that plugs into the standard stereo. If anyone one is interested shoot me a PM.

Anyone else have a problem with distortion ... not particularly on loud passages I'm becoming more certain it's on the DSP side of things , not the actual speakers .... I can be listening to Piano music say (via the phone, which is via the USB) and get a slight background distortion at times...

Hey People! Short version: Tried to check to updates from Tomtom. TomTom MyDrive app now complains that I need an app called Smart Media Connect, and redirects me to the TomTom smart page, but this "new" software is nowhere to be found. Longer version: I just plugged in my Smart Media...

Hi all, How is everyone's Start / Stop? I do about 10 miles a day to / from work, and it never kicks in. If I do the odd 100 mile journey, towards the end, it might kick in once, but then not again. I've recently had the first service, and like a fool completely forgot to mention this to...

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

Hello everyone, Sorry to post immediately asking for help but I am really not sure where to go with this now. Driven smarties ever since I learned to drive – owned, second hand, each of the shapes J I bought a brand new Prem Plus Sport on an 67 plate in November last year – on finance. I...

So I bought my 5 speed manual ForTwo in the summer. It’s just been in for its first service and I had an auto as a loan car. Which gave me the chance to perform a direct comparison. I’m also an (ex) Roadster owner. So familiar with past smart offerings. Overall I was impressed with several...
