Can't decide between Pure or Passion

I am getting all black for sure.

Really would like to get the red interior which forces me to get a passion.

Otherwise I would get a Pure and add AC and thats it!

Well in addition to the red interior, you get so many other awesome additions in getting a passion.

Agreed. If I had the moolah $$$$$ I'd buy the Passion but this is an economy deal for me. Pure with radio and A/C and that's it. I can add other stuff later.

I considered getting a Pure and adding what I wanted but, the paddle shifters arenh't on the Pure and they aren't available. That iced it for me.

Big plus for the passion is the moon roof. Biggest view to the sky I've ever seen outside a ragtop.

I'm biased, I'm way more Passionate then Pure

Plus, I had to have the paddle shifters and seat heaters

Get what you want, based on what you can afford and suits you best. Ask for opinions on features you're interested in, and ignore the rest.

Seriously, unless you're trying to save a few $$, the passion and all the possibilities it lends, is worth it. I kind of did the same when thinking about the cabrio vs the coupe, but then I thought to myself that the $$ are worth the investment. The smart still offers the most bang, fun and economy for the buck over any car out there. I couldn't build any other 'vert out there for less then $24K, so I'm happy with a loaded smart for $18K

The choice is tough, but it all depends on what you want. A minimalist car can get old really quick if you spend a lot of time in it. On the other hand, there is lot less to fix when things break.

Loving my Passion!
