My Smart 4 2 arrived (9 Months wait)

[reschlund]

I ordered 3-18-2008 Bloomfield Hills, Michigan dealer.My car was delivered to me 12-5-2008.
Car is a 2009 Passion Coupe, white exterior,red interior.I did not order any extras.The price out the door was $15,442 This includes tax,plates and dealer prep charges. (I do believe the sticker was $14,200) They did not try to add any additional charges.The presentation was very through(how to work everything) .As of last week there were two orphans for sale at the same dealer,a Passion and a Cabriolet.
If someone is interested in one of these orphans call
248-292-2044 and ask for Dean Murray,Mondays or Thursdays,you may want to tell him Bob Schlund a customer of his gave you the info I will gain nothing but you can also tell him I'm the guy who is going to put the Suzuki Hayabusa engine in mine.Video here==========

After just a little over a week driving the Smart you will not be disappointed.It is a very stable car even at highway speeds(Ive had it to 80 mph).My first tank of gas got 46 mpg,and the people at Smart told me after 1000 miles she should do a lot better.
No matter where you go be prepared to have a crowd around your Smart when you return,,,Questions in order of most asked
#1 How much????
#2 Gas mileage??
#3 Where can I get one??
#4 Who makes it??
#5 Is it safe??
#6 Gas or electric??
#7 How much gas does it hold??
#8 Does it have heat and air ??
#9 Front or Rear wheel drive??
#10 How fast will it go ???

This is the coolest,most fun car I have ever owned,and it seems as though you are driving a regular sized car when behind the wheel.Once in the cockpit it doesn't appear to be so little.PS:the radio will rock your socks off just the way it comes.
