Hello from Silicon Valley. 1st time poster here. We have a cabrio. Thankfully, we don't have to commute on the freeway - those expansion joints are killer!

Hi! Welcome aboard. I also live in Silicon Valley and commute to Alameda every day. I take 237 & 880. I have no complaint about the ride on the route I take. The smart doesn't do well when the freeway is in poor condition. There is an especially bad section on 280 that is on the demo route they take you on when you visit smart center San Jose. I almost didn't buy the car because of this. Try driving your smart on different freeways and you'll find the ride isn't so bad.

Greetings from the Garden State. There are parts of Route 130 that are 'lumpy' but not too bad.
