Finally got my Smart!

I've had my Smart 4 days now and I love it! The only time I'm aware of how small it is - is when I look at it, not when I drive it. Sure is easy to turn around if you miss a turn! Still getting use to the feel of the transmission.
I feel a little obsessive about keeping it clean - I keep wiping it down. Also a little paranoid about parking in public. Does that subside after a while?

OCD is a good quality and if you wear out the panels wiping them down you can always replace them .

Happy motoring,

I've had mine since April and have almost 9000 miles on it. I still keep it clean and only park it where I can keep it in sight. Smart #2 arrives next week and will treated the same. Congrats on your new addition!
