The Smart Fortwo, a compact rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive city car, was produced in two generations between 1997 and 2012: the 450 and 451 models. The primary difference between the two is that the 450 (1997–2006) was smaller and less refined, while the 451 (2007–2012) featured a more reliable Mitsubishi engine, an updated interior, and improved safety features.

Smart Fortwo 450 (1997–2006)

The first-generation 450 series was initially known as the Smart City-Coupé and came in both coupé and convertible versions.

Engine: Early models used a 599cc turbocharged inline-3 petrol engine, while a facelift in 2002 increased displacement to 698cc. A 799cc diesel option was also available. The petrol engine has a reputation for issues, including turbo failure and piston ring failure, especially if not serviced regularly.
Transmission: The 450 used a 6-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). This early version was notoriously jerky and unrefined, contributing to a less-than-smooth driving experience.
Safety: The car was built around a strong steel safety cage known as the “Tridion cell,” which provided a high level of protection for its size.
Common issues: Besides the potential engine problems, issues with the semi-automatic gearbox and electrical faults were common.

Smart Fortwo 451 (2007–2012)

The second-generation 451 series was introduced in 2007, boasting significant improvements in reliability and drivability.

Engine: For the North American market, the 451 was powered by a 1.0L, naturally-aspirated inline-3 Mitsubishi engine. While not powerful (70 horsepower), it was known for being far more robust and reliable than the previous generation’s engine.
Transmission: The automated manual transmission was updated, but it remained the most common complaint among owners, with reports of jerky shifting.
Dimensions: The 451 was slightly longer and wider than the 450, offering a bit more interior space and luggage capacity.
Common issues: Despite the engine improvements, owners still reported problems, including electrical failures, clutch and actuator wear, air conditioning issues, and worn-out suspension components.

Where to find used Smart Fortwo vehicles and parts

Since both the 450 and 451 are out of production, the used market is the only option for buying a vehicle.

Used vehicle marketplaces: Websites like Autotrader and local classifieds are the most reliable places to find used Smart Fortwo models.
Specialty parts retailers: Given the high potential for issues, especially in older models, many online retailers offer a wide variety of OEM and aftermarket replacement parts for both the Smart Fortwo 450 and Smart Fortwo 451. You can also find technical service bulletins (TSBs) and service information online.
