Smart, but confused

[jocko]

Hi: Just got my new Passion Cabriolet last week,And have tons of questions. What is a 451? I see it everywhere on this Site. Is it any different than the ones their shipping here to the U.S. ? Maintenance parts, Where other than the Dealer can I get Air filters, oil filters, an so on.

Welcome to the Forum and Congrats on the new Cabrio!!!

Breathless Performance www.BreathlessPerformance.com has a new 'K&N' type drop in air filter, there are options on the oil filters Purolator PremiumPlus L14612, Mitsubishi 1230A040, smart 132 180 00 10 but most parts have to be purchased from the dealerships, if they have them.

jocko, the 450 smart is the original model that was made and sold worldwide for nearly 10 years. The 451 is the new, redesigned model now sold, including yours.

For info on filters and such, use the Search function and you'll find lots of threads on these topics.

Welcome

The 451 replaced the 450 when they started shiping smarts to the US.

The 451 is the newer line that has all the requirements of the US regulations.

Ordered the oil filter and o ring from the dealer along with a replacement bottle of the tire filler. Came next day.
