Smart Question

I think I probably know the answer to this already but.........can you buy a Smart in Canada for use in the USA? If not, could someone explain the differences? Emissions? Crash Test?

You can buy the current model in Canada and register it in the US. But the US distributor, Penske Auto Group, is not required to perform repairs under the Canadian warranty.

So you'll pay more for a longer warranty that you can't use in the US.

You would also need to pay to have the speedo converted to MPH from KPH. (And the equivalent odo reprogram/reset as well).
