Looks like you're midway between Cleveland and Columbus - there are smart centers in both cities.

Well I came here once because my wife had ordered one.

I only leave now when she lets me drive it.

Bet you all wish she would let me drive it more

Once you go and take a test drive, you'll dream about the Smart all night until the "take home day". So exciting and it doesn't end! Had mine since March. Happy, happy, happy. . . . .

My wifey didn't like the Smart car when I first got it. Now we fight over the keys.

Welcome ... there's lots of info available on this web community. Most of it is accurate.

We downsized from a Sienna van (to tow our band trailer) and a Scion xB (as our "small" car), to the Scion and a Passion coupe as soon as we found out that the Scion could tow the trailer.

Thus far, the Passion has gotten all of the use. I'm going to see if my hockey bag will fit when I go to play tonight; the bag may be a tight fit but we'll see.

We can't wait until all of the "comfort items" (such as rear end liners, cruise control and GPS) get installed. It's more than enough of a car for two old folks for 95% of our excursions, and for the rest there are always the Scion.

Best of all, it all fits in our two car garage, with apparently enough room for the camping trailer (which I am still trying to order, with little success). I'm tired of having the van sit in the driveway, but our homeowner's association does not allow trailers to be kept outside. With the Passion parked in front of the trailer, and with room enough for the camping trailer in front of the Scion, it all just slides into place. Neat!

GO FOR IT~! I've had mine for over a year now and still LOVE it. . . neatest little car I've ever owned. And I've owned a few over the years.
