Looks like some helpful info here. I picked up a blue w/silver Passion on Dec 29, 09 and had a ski rack added. I've got 1200 miles on it in 3 weeks and it's going great. I drive 50 miles one way to work so I'm enjoying spending less on gas.
I've driven several snowy days and taken it skiing with no problems.
I look forward to a lot more miles, can't wait to try the A/C.

If you run the HVAC in the defrost (12 o'clock) position that will turn on the A/C; not a bad idea to exercise it a few times during the winter.

Hello everyone, My first post here on the SCoA forum. We have a 2008 Passion Coupe, Blue with Silver Tridion. 24,000 miles in 1.5 years.
Still very happy with the car.

Thanks for posting this list, and the video especially. I am about to do the oil change on my car.

Great forum! I am not a Smart owner yet, but actually had a Honda of about the same dimension in 1972.

Hey Everybody,
FunnyEddie here, White and Black with my logo on the side. Crazy. I love it! 36,000 miles and I am looking to buy tires now. where is the best place to go? I received a quote from the dealership for $175.00 per tire plus $25.00 for each tire to be mounted. Thanks for any help.

Great information in the first post of this thread. My first post on this form, I've owned a Cabriolet since Sept. 2008, Red with black cell, black interior. Trailered it to Branson last year and had a blast in the twisty hills. My first love is my classic 1969 Mini, also have a few other Minis in the collection and vintage race a 1962 Mini Cooper S. The smart doesn't quite have the get up and go the Mini has, but it is still fun to drive. Another club racer directed me to this site so hopefully I can learn lots about our little cars in these threads. I am located in OKC, my dealer is in Tulsa. Smart updated my computer for better shifting points reducing the lag between shifts from the original program. Looking forward to better driving weather. So far no issues with my smart with very low miles.
