Appreciate your comments and commitment. I am about to lease/own a 3rd smart, first was an ICE which I was told was the 82 one to come to the states in 2008. I reserved the day they were first made available and lived in Boston at the time, so it was reasonable that I got one of the very first. Moved to Chicago area shortly after :-( very different here, we miss New England, but it drove like a trooper on the way out and for the next 7 years. When ED's FINALLY came to the midwest in '15, traded the '08 for one and drove for the last 35 months. Lease is about up and I reserved a '17 ED cabriolet to lease in November. Your profile says WI/IL border, so I'm curious where you have bought yours and where you have them serviced.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
