Today I drove my luxury SUV for the first time since bringing home our Cabrio and actually wished I was in the Smart instead!

When I drove my Lexus to the dealer to turn it in after having my smart for a week, it felt strange to drive. The brakes felt like I was putting my foot into a bowl of Jello. The smart is much more fun to drive.

Bought a cord from Radio Shack; have no problem closing the door, it just leaves a nice kink in the cord - not good IMHO. Will check out the slot behind the glove box.

What's Not
* Factory audio options are lacking.
* Doesn't have a moon roof option
* Shallow aftermarket - "that will improve"

For the CD I bought a holder from Belkin that fits into the cup holder the glove compartment door closed with the cord plugged in, no problem.The holder from Belkin is the answer for me.
