Congrats on you smart. I reserved a black on black 2009 Cabriolet before configuring to a silver 2009 Brabus Cabriolet. I visited the Virginia Beach Smart Center today saw my original black Cabriolet - it was available for immediate purchase! I almost bit. It's a very cool looking car! Not sure the Brabus is worth the extra $3500.

Did you get an extended warranty?

How far do you live from the dealer?

I live 111 mi from the VA Beach Dealer which worries me a bit with respect to future visits for work on car. What if it cna't be driven?

Congratuations and welcome. I'm sure you'll have fun playing with and modifying your Smart. Check the forums for lots of good info on DIY mods and for ideas in general.

I live in Ont, Canada and own a 2008 smart car gas engine. When the temperature gets below 32* and the car has been out side and not moved for 24 hours one or both front tires are flat?????? I had the tires removed sealer put on the rimes and rebalanced, tank tested before and after. I believe it most be the electronic valves??????

I live just about 25 minutes from the dealer. I have just got my 4 tank on it and just broke the 1000 mile break in. My little car is black on black. only the trim on the inside is gray. i ran some CAT5 for a scan guage. (had to create a modified network jack, female to female, so i could have enough length to mount it above the mirror) I also drilled a hole in the top left back corner so i could run the AUX cable to my iPhone mount.

I have had it to the dealer twice, first to have the computer re-imaged because i was getting 3 lines on the shift indicator. the second time it happened i could not get it out of park. The dealer towed it to the shop and replaced the shifter. I noticed that after he replaced that my mileage shot up about 10 mpg. and it no longer kept winding out in first gear. they stated that this was the third shifter assembly in this batch of cars they had to replace.

If i have anymore issues with it me and my dealer will have to have a little talk, but i don't think i will be getting rid of it. I have not had this much fun driving since i was a teenager.
