My previous vehicle was a 1996 Nissan pickup and it was 'barebones'; no radio, no ac, no intermitten wipers, no back window wiper. When I bought my little car, it was a step up. It had more room than the cab of my little pickup. At first it did not have a radio but it does now; something my pickup never had.
I was in the first batch of Smart owners (pickup in January of 2008). Have had the car for almost 14 months now with 20,600 miles on the clock. It's been my principal, daily driver. Averaging 46-47 MPG on my 60 mile daily commute (40% Hwy and 60% suburban).
No problems, no issues, no complaints. I'd buy another one and am recommending it to others.
Our smart replaced another convertible and it delivers miles of smiles! The cabrio may be a little noisier than the coupe but with a plastic body and little sound deadening material there is no smart without road noise.
With a key fob that puts the top back and the simple fact that you can put the top back as you cruise down the highway @ 70 mph is just too cool for words!
Most people not familiar with the various smart models are surprised to see the top down.
