Is the old model Smart really hard to drive? Does it roll back easily on slopes? I'm thinking of buying one, but I've only tried the new engine. Looking for advice from owners of the old model. 🙏

The old model is just for fun, you spend the least amount of money to buy a small car to mess around with. If you frequently use it for daily commuting, encounter bad road conditions, and have a passenger, it's better to spend around 40,000 to 50,000 to get a 2015 or 2016 model 453.

I have both the old and new models. The old one was really like a little sprite. The new model is about 20cm wider than the old one, so I'm not confident about parking in tight spaces. The driving feel of the new model is definitely better. Also, the smaller turning radius of the new model is a big plus.

Don't buy the old model.

The old model and the new model are worlds apart. 😁 If you have the budget, go for the new one. You can't go wrong.

It's really hard to drive.

It's okay, depends on personal ability to adapt. I'm used to it now, everywhere is fine. Just give it some gas on the uphill and it goes.

Model X owners, what cars are you upgrading to or purchasing? I currently have a 2017 Model X 100D 5-seater, which is over 4 years old. Recently, when going out with my daughter, I often have to let her mom drive so I can sit in the back with her. The rear seats are really uncomfortable, and my daughter tends to get carsick easily. I'm thinking about getting another car, considering 6-7 seat SUVs or MPVs, but haven't decided yet. What have you all bought?

At 45,000 kilometers, there's no issue with a heavy throttle, and there's no problem with a light throttle either. But when I press the throttle slightly harder, the issue arises, especially noticeable at 2000 RPM. There's no such problem when the car is cold, but once the water temperature reaches two bars, it comes back. It's really frustrating. Any advice? 🙏🙏🙏

Hey folks, can I ask how long it takes to order a 2024 model? I'm thinking about getting a Rolls-Royce Dawn. I've got decision-making issues and I'm 22 years old. Is it suitable for me to drive?

Hey folks, how long did you wait before hitting the highway? I've actually been driving for less than two months, or maybe two years. The car's been sitting back home and I'm worried it'll just go bad. Any advice from those with experience? Much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Have any of you extended your warranty after the original 3-year factory warranty expired? Any advice? My vehicle is almost 3 years old, and I'm considering whether to extend the warranty. 🙏

Do you think there will be discounts on the 2024 model after August, since many people are waiting for the 2025 model? I'm also worried about missing out. I don't have high demands for smart driving, and I feel like the 7-seater in the back doesn't have small tables. Plus, there are no discounts for non-ZEEKR users. Sigh!

Why did the hill-start assist fail on my 2018 Prado TXL, causing it to roll back on a slope? Has anyone experienced this before? How can I fix it? Thanks 🙏

When starting on a slope with a temporary license plate and using auto hold at a gate, the car tends to roll back when pressing the accelerator after the gate opens. Have any experienced car owners encountered this issue? How do you solve it? Should I use the electronic handbrake? PS. I didn't have this problem with my previous Volkswagen Golf. When stopped on a slope, I just kept the brake pressed and it moved forward when I pressed the accelerator, without rolling back.
