    Hey y’all, I’m trying to replace my temperature sensor but I can’t get a socket on because of the electrical plug across from the sensor. I’ve tried pulling, pushing, squeezing the connector, and using all sorts of things to get it off. I can’t find any resources of what it is to get it off...

    It's time to buy new tires for my 2009 ForTwo Passion, and I'm considering putting 5.5" rims up front with matching tires all around. I bought one 5.5" rim a couple of years ago and need one more to complete the set. OEM 5.5 rims are kinda pricey, but I'm finding several eBay sellers offering...

    Hello, new to the smart car world. I got a 2008 smart fortwo passion that was left behind at a house I purchased. The car is in very rough shape, but I was able to get it running. It's a fun little car, but I don't have much use for it. I have plans to use it in a offroad event for some fun...

    I need advice, please. I have a 2009 Smart ForTwo Passion Cabrio convertible--that I totally love and just bought almost two years ago. I just crossed 50K miles and my brakes were screeching, terribly. I took it to PepBoys and paid $415 for new brakes and rotors. Here is the story I wrote...

    The car is in excellent condition. I bought it at the Jaguar dealer in Tampa about almost 3 years ago. Maintenance is up to date and I have had not problems at all since I got it. Great on gas saving and has a lot of room on the inside, in spite of being so small. I'm very attached to this car...

    Hi everyone, My name is Enid and I just moved to Glendale Az. Back in New Orleans, I had a competent and affordable mechanic that knew all things 'smart'. Here, I just found myself paying $450 for new brake pads and rotors. They assured me I would not need to replace them again in another 35000...

    Hi there! We've had a 2013 MHD fortwo for a couple of years now and are trying to upgrade the radio from a Sony aftermarket head unit to the Pioneer SPH-DA130DAB due to the Apple CarPlay etc 😄 However, Halfords (UK car parts chain) fitted it today for us and when we got in the car afterwards...

    Hi all, I have a spare set of red body panels for the 450 coupe that I am looking to sell. They came with the car when I bought it, and have never been used. I believe certain parts may be compatible with other models, but I know that they should fit the 450 fortwo coupe model (03-07). I have...

    So I recently just purchased a 2013 Fortwo Passion. It’s always been a dream to own one. I’m curious on how long time owners handle windy/rain/snow conditions. I of course live an hour away from civilization and have to always take the interstate. I can feel the pull and I’m getting used to it...

    Hey everyone. I'm new here and in need. I recently took my ForTwo 2014 in for inspection and apparently I need new engine mounts (both front and rear). I am skeptical at the pricing they provided and wondered what y'all think. They are claiming that it will cost 950 for both mounts as well as...

    Hey everyone! 👋 I am the happy new owner of a 2017 fortwo with the DCT. It was a lease return, and only has 6,500 miles on it. I understand that this car has a quirky transmission, but am unsure: how quirky is normal for these cars? I've noticed these behaviors: at low speeds (stop/go in...
