Lucky You !!!!

I'm jealous!!!!! We can't wait to get our smart !!! Enjoy... Let us know how she goes in the snow. We (midwest Missouri) got quite a bit of snow; bet that little smart would get around better than lots of these um..... 'larger' vehicles do .... let us know.

I'm jealous, too!!! I'm sure I'll be waiting until about this time next year. Oh well, I guess I'll learn to be patient....

Bobarb,

How was driving in our recent snow dump? Some of the side-streets that were not plowed had a lot of snow on them. I'm sure in rural areas of Wisconsin there is a lot of snow as well. We got about 6-10 inches. How did your smart handle?

(curiosity killed the cat!?!)

snow and smart

Brian-
The car handled amazingly well in the snow. I wasn't as comfortable using the manual tranny as my husband was.......ABS brakes did make some noise,
but at least I know they really work. I think the rear engine makes a diff. in the handling......but, really, I don't know any of the mechanical stuff.......I just know its a heck of a lot of fun!

When the snow fell on Wednesday one of my reoccurring thoughts was I want to test my esp on this stuff!! (I had my first test drive the day before.) My partner went on Saturday for a test drive and put that little
bugger through its paces. He came home beaming about how well it handled the snow that he purposefully plowed through. Watch out America we are taking over!
