17,000 mile report. NA451.

Very good... Car is holding up well.

Delivered in Feb, Smartie runs many 300+ mile days. No problems at all after the initial early minor fixes. ( Shifter box, stoplight switch, alarm going off at night. All fixed quickly by Smart Bloomfield).

In the 1930s, 40s and 50s the big three sold "Business Coupes" to the "Road Warriors"of the day. Now comes the little Smart 4-2, an almost perfect replacement for those old working coupes.

Wife and I highly recommend the Smart as an every day business car. Ours earns us money everyday and makes the time on the road FUN.

A2Jack.

I should/may have that many more trouble free miles ahead of me, A2.
How did the shade I sent you work out for you? keep the car cooler? I still have to find a suitable substrate to attach the reflective mylar to that's easy to handle and not too heavy/stiff. any suggestions?

Jonnysan. I stopped too when I started reading all the problems the guys were having with shades and rails. I have put off the project until spring.

SmartHHO. No wraps or signs. Wife gets the standard 58.5 cents a mile, and with a Smart car you really win that one. A2Jack.
