Smart Fortwo during winter, waiting to be dug out

Frosty mornings

I’m not a fan of frosty mornings, icy roads and frozen locks. I find no joy what so ever in removing a layer of ice from my cars windows.

Luckily the Smart Fortwo 451 cdi is much faster when it comes to warming up it’s cabin than the Smart Fortwo 450 cdi.
My old 450, could drive me half way to work, before the first warmth could be felt in the cabin.

Both models (at least the cdi’s) have an electric heater, that is activated by setting the heater leaver to its warmest setting.

The newer 451, defrosts in a fraction of the time, compared to its older sibling.
