If you have size 10 shoes or greater then you have no where to place your left foot except under the clutch pedal.

This is a complete dealbreaker for me. I'd love another smart, but I wouldn't buy a manual version of either model at the moment, just because of the pedals.

I've had me ForTwo Edition one since June and I'm still really enjoying it. The only items to mention as negatives for me are the boor handles jam all the time..... Plastic on plastic and the Alarm goes off daily - usually in the dead of the night. Its the plunger under the bonnet. oh, and the MPH rarely goes above 45 even when driving gently. I love the amazing turning curcle and funky styling.

Add the circular pad (just under my name in the first photo) , about 6mm thick by 20mm diameter (to give it a good chance of meeting where the switch lands)
It just depresses the switch more to ensure it's fully switched

And each days average (from start) gets added to the 'from reset' average reading, so if you keep adding ~ 45 that's where it's gonna plateau too.

Is the Alarm on all models or just some of the higher spec ones?
I would be going for the Passion model anyway, so I assume no alarm.
I have never had an alarm on a car for years, as they are more hassle than they are worth, No-one looks when an alarm goes off nowadays. I prefer relying on Immobilisers instead, no noise..

The alarm was standard earlier in the year on all models , but got made a money option on all models in august/september , it's all detailed in the brochure

It's £295 now, I got mine included/free ... and it's 100% perfectly stable/fault free (as long as it's post june ish manufacture or you've had the fix for the bonnet switch for the early flakey ones)Last edited by 10:45PM; 24-12-15, 01:18 PM.

Much like the 451, the smart has lost it's identity! The 450 has such a quirkiness that is endearing, the 451 has too much Mercedes about it, sadly. I have 2 450 Cabrios and 2 451 Cabrios, the 451 Turbo with Brabus mods is enjoyable but isn't a patch on the 450! The 451 MHD 2013 is too much like a convertible A-Class. Too much Mercedes, sadly I think the 453 will be the same. This is similar with most cars these days. Fiat 500 and MINI have suffered same fate.
