Hello,
I'm new here and new to Smart cars, but I'm quite interested in owning one. I live in Seattle, so it would be helpful to have a smaller car. I found one for sale that only has 13K miles, and is in good condition, expect for the normal wear and tear and a couple scratches on the body. However, once I test drove it, and keep in mind this is the only Smart car I've ever driven, I was concerned with how rough it idled. There was also considerable delay when I'd accelerate. I also noticed a couple times where it shifted (automatic) slowly or couldn't decide what gear to be in. Maybe this is just normal for Smart cars? I'm not expecting it to feel like a sports car, but I was pleasantly surprised when merging on the highway with its performance. I'm just concerned that I could be buying into something that wouldn't be reliable - the warranty just expired on it. I can't post links here yet, but here's more info about it:
2016 Smart ForTwo Pure - $9000
Automatic
Brown/Black
13815 Miles
Sounds like a good deal to me? But should I be concerned with the issues I mentioned above?
