Consumer Review Video - 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion 1.0L 3 Cyl.

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2008 Fortwo

The 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion is somewhat difficult to maintain. The engine air filter is wedged underneath a large panel in the rear of the vehicle and will be difficult to access for a filter replacement. Reaching the battery may also be problematic as it is crammed into the footwell of the passenger seat. The wheel well lining will need to be removed to access one of the front turn signal lights, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes.

However, the 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion has its upsides. The cabin air filter is in the footwell of the vehicle and is accessible without any parts removals, which will make for reliable filter replacements. The interior fuse box is located in the same area and won’t require any cover removals to reach the fuses themselves. The rest of the headlights can be changed without any parts removals, too.
