Does anyone have one of the latest cdi engined models and if so what sort of fuel consumption
are you getting?
I have got a cdi and however I drive it I cannot get better than 74 mpg even though Smart say they will do over 84 mpg combined.
I have even driven it across Spain almost non stop (Other than to refuel) at a constant speed and could still only manage just over 71 mpg.
The worst I have got is a lowly 61 mpg which is a lot less that Smart say the MHP will do.
Very disappointed with the consumption as it was one of the main reasons we got a diesel.

Yes its true :-( The cdi is not as fuelefficient as the faktory promises...

My 2008 cdi (45 hp) has an average at 20-23 kilometers per liter, witch is some under the 30 km/l. (faktory promise)

If i really take my self together and drive very carefull (70-80 km/h) nonstop and using the cruisecontrol,

i can allmost go 30 km/l. :O

A couple of yaers ago, i had an mhd. My average in that was 16 km/l.

Sorry! In europe we use the metricsystem ;-)

Hi
You are lucky I have the same car and I cannot get
More than 52 mpg.
It has been back to smart 3 times.
I bought it at christmas as a used car from smart
With 9000 on the clock and now I wish they would
Refund my money I feel like I was conned into
Buying it with claims of high mpg I would love to have got 76mpg.

Yes you can purchase the electrical steering option but you may need to source one from the UK directly, or ask if Mercindo can order and install it for you. But I have heard other smart users liking the natural feel of unassisted steering. So I gue…
