Rate your smart maintenance cost on a scale 1-10

From the day you picked it up till the present day you post. Thought it would be interesting to read about all of your issues.

So far maintenance has been $0 (other than a car wash coupon). First scheduled service for my car will be in 10,000 (less 460) miles from today.

It's under warranty, nobody will be paying anything for a while. I bet no one has finished the break-in period yet.

Okay, more to report. 540 miles. Total $0 repairs, one car wash coupon, put another $6.23 in gas to top it off because I was at Costco and its cheap. This is getting pretty boring for the smart repairman. Glad he's busy with PDI checks at the dealer.

I have had my smart for 1.5 week and so far I have just over 600 miles. 2 fillup both time for $24.00 The first time was 7.792 gallons. The second was 7.72. I am averaging around 38 mpg on mix driving. Washed her for the first time and gave her 3 coat of wax already

500 miles so far, and much of that on the interstate, with not a speck of paint damage yet.
