Hi, I've been interested in the smartcar idea since first seeing one several years ago while on a cruise through europe. We stopped over in Italy and that's where I saw my first one. I'm quite excited that they are now being offered here in the states and plan on persuing a purchase within the next few months if my research indicates it appropriate. Since the dealerships are so spread out I was curious at to what type of difficulty one experiences in attempting to get normal service intervals addresssed.
