Ruby, as our owners have said here....3 cylinder....plenty peppy! Gear shift...just learn how to use it ......they love it. 18 wheelers bother everybody.......owners say it holds it's own on the freeway. It's loads of fun and there are over 40,000 people waiting for their turn on the 2008s. 750,000 owners in the world over 10 years of development. The math works for me.
Well, it was just this week that I posted my "wondering when I will hear" on this forum. Got my email today and says they expect delivery late half - which people seem to think still is May.
Going to Mercedes tommorrow to look at it one more time to make my final decision. I finally got ahold of my old dream car - 1996 Toyota 2 door RAV 4 with double sunroof and would really hate to part with it after getting it all fixed up - but that SMART sure is cute....Tough decision.
Alittle hesitant about the whole 3 cyclinder thing and that lull in gear shifts - I only test drove it once - wanted the passion because of the sunroof - but then realized it didn't open - wondering if it will feel like a magnifying glass - then drove the convertible which was great - but wondering about driving down I-95 with the 18 wheelers....
Any encouraging thoughts?????
Drove from Hartford to Holyoke today 70 - 75 up I 91 lots of trucks no problem
the roof has a sunshade after 450 miles and still on my second tank of gas no one has run me over yet due to a lag in shifting not an issue IMHO. The trucklet that only you can answer. cheers karl
