Hiya all, I traded in my ED today and so ends my smart car journey. I've had 3 different smart cars all told probably 6 years driving time and I never broke down even once. What a solid dependable ride these little miracle machines are. The ED was my favorite of the bunch. Because I didn't have to buy gas.

I got a good deal on a Bolt and pretty much got sucked in the moment I sat in it. After the smart it feels like piloting a giant space ship. The reason I sold it is because the range was getting a little unpredictable. I've been driving a guy to work and I take the same route every time. Some days I'd have a quarter tank, some days less than a tenth by the time I got home. No big deal but it should be a little more uniform than that. I thought it might become a problem down the line so best to get out while the getting's good.

So best of luck to all you smart fans out there, I'm out!

teenytinytaxi, sorry to see you go but the Bolt looks like a sensible “middle ground” in our EV movement?

And if your range was on the edge, cold weather can bring on that dreaded “range anxiety!”

Don’t be a stranger, stop by from time to time and share some real owner EV comparisons.
