If music quality and lots of thumping bass is what you are looking for then you will need to put in your own radio and speakers. The Smart radio is a good radio for casual music listening but not for someone who must have high quality thumping music.

I did 40 miles going 85mph (90 in some spots) on my way to the emergency room a few weeks ago. I would hope that's fast enough. Oh, already blew my Radio 9 speakers. Wish my orphan would of come with a Radio 10.

I put dynamat on my doors. They told me it would also help with road noise. As I have a cabrio I don't think it made much difference. I think I added 10 pounds to each door though.

Smart car Question

It's strictly a 2 seater. A kid, even a contortionist could fit in the back, folded, but not while in traffic! Totally unsafe, not to mention illegal...

Don't bother, by the time you get your car, he'll be 6'1" and off to college.


It's a two seater and no more.

what they said about no kids in the back, ...the convertible really isn't that much louder then the coupe with the top up (even at highway speeds), and the radio 10 speaker upgrade is only a good deal being supplied with the cabrio...don't think its worth it on its own.

Putting a kid in a trunk is in no way funny. I hope the admin gives you a serious warning.
I know you meant ride in the back. But, the car has no seat there. So, the email was just plain dumb.
