smart first impressions

[jwkriz]

We picked up our yellow Passion coupe from smart center White Plains (NY) May 3, nearly a year to the day from placing our reservation.

Options:

• Comfort
• Radio 10
• smart sound
• fog lights
• instruments.

First impressions (after ~55 miles):

• Everything you read about people smiling, waving and asking questions is true.
• Much quicker on the road than expected - 70mph cruise no problem.
• Build quality in keeping with price - found no delivery defects (so far...).
• Stiff suspension, but handling is super on twisty roads.
• Manual shifting mode has a learning curve to do properly (I've driven a clutch for nearly 40 years).
• Fuel gauge hasn't budged from full.
• Tremendous fun to drive .

I agree with all the above....got mine 4/21 and have about 700 very fun miles and about as many new friends! This car makes people come up and talk to you...and I enjoy it!
