Much appreciated!!!!!!!!

So I take my reserv. holder test drive tomorrow. Finally.[/COLOR][/B]

Anything I should be looking for in particular??? What to expect??? Driving experience??? Weird shifting??? How are the brakes??? Quality of interior??? etc...

And if anyone has anything they'd like me to keep an eye out for i.e. info they'd like to know, measurements, etc - let me know and I'll do my best to find out.

cheers.

Only that saying you have a reservation already does'nt mean squat. When the show was in San Diego, I had to wait 90 minutes. Other shows had a wait of 3 1/2 hours. Depends how much advertising they do in your show city.
Even in manual shift the car will shift itself down when you slow down. As I was arriving back at the show in my test drive, I was in manual. When I started up the driveway, the car was already in a low gear. i.e. It did not shudder and stall like a regular manual shift car from a start in third gear.
Enjoy the test drive!

Drove 20 minutes to the benz dealer.

Waited 15 minutes then got in the smart.

Loved every minute.

ciao.

I used to own a '74 Fiat X-1/9(sympathy accepted),but I never had an issue with the car not having power steering. All of the weight is at the back and the wheel was faily easy to steer, even in tight slow spaces.

Oh, and by the way, Congradulations on the invite. I wished I had had my reservation in when I test drove the car.
