3800 miles and no problems!

I'm just sayin'...

I felt the need to post this after reading through some threads where people are second guessing whether or not to buy a Smart.

I've been on a lot of forums and most of the time people post problems with their cars so it would seem that (insert brand here) is always breaking down or something. This is also the first year for this model so... take that as you will.

People don't seem to start an "everythings working well" thread so... here it is.

I'm sure that in time I'll be posting up problems or questions about performance as this is a machine and machines break eventually.

So yeah, 3800 miles and all's well.

Nearing 5K miles and no problems - is there something wrong with our car?

3500 miles and no problems to blame on smart or the car. The whole chick-magnet thing is a wash, though.

2800 miles and no problem, oh wait still can't stop anywhere without having people coming over and asking questions. Still can't get the smile off my face when driving.
