We'll be SMARTER this Saturday!

My wife and I will be picking-up our Smart "Passion" Cabriolet this Saturday at 9am. We saw the Smart for the first time in May 2007 while we were vacationing in Rome, and even visited a Smart dealership while there, and thought that the car would be a perfect substitute for the Lexus SUV (GX470) that my wife is now driving to/from work. Once back home, we put our names on the "waiting list" as soon as it was announced that the Smart was coming to the U.S. As ordered, the car should be white with a silver roll-bar and a red cloth interior; extras are fog lights, air, and a navigation system that has voice, Bluetooth, and iPod adaption. The navigation is a $1500 item, so out-the-door is $20,708. Other than good looking (to us) and great gas mileage, what else should we know? If offered, should I take the extended warranty? I'm inclined not to go for an extended warranty, but would be interested in what others here think.

Thanks!

Very cool - sure you'll enjoy it. Post some photos when you have the chance.

Several threads on extended warranties, lots of opinions out there. My personal choice was not to take an extended warranty (which I'm sure someone will point out is in reality a service contract, not a warranty) and drive the car hard, hoping anything that's going to fail will do so in the first 2 years.

You should buy the extended warranty now so you can have it added in to your monthly payments. You can always cancel it later and get a full refund before the included 2 year warranty is over. Be sure to ask about the cancellation policy. Different dealerships may have different cancellation polices.
