Turn your smart in to a roaring V8 or a V10 in 30 seconds!
$43? That's what I've seen them go for.

smart fortwo transmission problem
That is HORRIBLE to have to change a clutch with such low miles. And what gets me, YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL over it! It's not like in a regular car where a bad driver can ride the clutch because they d…

Smart Dealerships closing
Yep, and they are taking all of their customers with them. I guess you can have an idea how mad I will be if I am able to get my new fortwo fixed or to even get parts. My blood is going to be BOILING…

Why is it that I see TONS of commercials for Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Nissan but ZERO for smart cars? Why did they even bother to bring these cars to this country in the first place for? If Rick Ca…

That is AWFUL and L.A. is a HUGE city with BAD TRAFFIC!! People should be buying those cars in DROVES living in that city. Did they not do a lot of advertising?
Why does it say PAGE NOT FOUND when I click on that link?
Yep... and the sales for the smart dealer in Weston is NOT doubling in sales to pick up the slack. The problem is the lack of advertising. Nobody ever hears about these cars or knows where the dealerships are. It's pathetic. I was at the Weston smar…
That was neat! I wish mine was electric.
So the shifting felt the same after they did the programming?
I heard or read some place that they changed the clutches for 2009. Is this true? It was a long time ago that I recall hearing this and this was long before I ever bought this car. I only have over 300 miles on it so far. It's a joy to drive in the…
Nobody ever answered my question about the 2010.
My dealer installed the carpet minutes before I drove the car home. He used a screw driver to punch two holes in the carpet and then drilled the little plastic pieces in. It was pretty easy.
That's hysterical.

I carry a plug repair kit. I have found that every flat I've ever had in the past 20 years has been either a screw or nail in the tire. It's usually a good idea to carry a flat head and phillips screw driver with a pair of pliars. Pull out the nail…
Do the 2010 fortwo's have the same problem that the 2008's have or have they figured out a way to solve many of the transmission problems that the 2008's have had? I just bought my 2010 passion on May 19th, 2010.

Expect electric/electronic problems. Also be aware that you won't have any warranty left on 2008 and some 2009 models.
This is a real problem if the previous owner didn't have the Transmission software updated to the 2009 version (no charge), which…
We don't personally sell these brackets but I did purchase this bracket about a year ago and I think this is an excellent product for the price you pay.
