Steady 500 miles a month for us - 20 months - 10,000 miles. Not a lease, although that's what my original plan was - didn't work out though.

[VY78lS5XFG5O]

2014 smart ED.
Not a lease.
Bought it in February of 2016 for under $9K with over 5K mi.
1K mi per month freeway commuting and additional neighborhood errands.
Over 20K mi odometer so far.
The only problem: a flat tire.
Haven't lost any charge capacity.
I'm truly impressed with my smart.

We love ours too and its our preferred ride. The battery is down maybe 1-2% from new, but we had a coolant leak. So I'm blaming the leak over using it 60% twice a day and charging it twice.

2014 ED Cabrio – 400 miles

Annual average = 133.3333333333333333 miles

That's about to change!

 

[SuperSmartie]

46k miles and every one of them as much fun as the first!

 

[Schorschi]

2014 Cabrio lease. 32,487 miles. Due for return 6/13/17. I'm thinking about getting a used Spark EV with a fast-charge option next. They are a rare animal in Florida, since they were only ever sold in California, Oregon and Maryland. Found three in Florida. Next closest is Atlanta, then North Carolina. Dirt cheap at under $10,000 with low mileage.

Welcome @levatino !

 

[corbinh]

2015 Hatchback ED - purchased at 5000 miles, now at 6300. Liking this car, mainly used as a commuter to work.

I like the acceleration of the Spark.
According to others it has tremendous pickup.
I would love to experience it.
Also, the Spark has lots of features that are unheard of for such a compact car.
And the price sounds right. You are lucky to have the opportunity to acquire one.

I've noticed you use an extension cord.
It seems to be very heavy duty.
Does it overheat?
I used extension cords for a while and they overheated.
I had to discontinue using them for I was afraid of a possible fire.
The extension cord you are using seems to be extraordinary.
It has very thick casing and the plugs look industrial grade.
Could you tell us more about it?

Hopefully many many more!
