Suggestions for smart USA
Here's a thread to let smart USA know what we'd like to see in/for our cars now and in the future. I'll start it off.
1. Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
2. Cruise Control
3. Turbo option
4. Longer warranty
P.S. Add your comments even if they've been mentioned already. The more the merrier.

Oh, I definately am going to get mine wrapped (when I get it...). Very subtly but different. I didn't realize you could wrap an entire color. How cool!!!!! Love what you did :)

Bio diesel, bio diesel bio diesel!!! There too much damn corn in this country and one of the most awesome things I've ever heard of is recycled cooking oil to run your car...

Um, what is this "brakes that function normally"? How do these function?

Sara,
I took a test drive last month. Granted, it was all TOO brief a drive ... and, I hear the dealers are stingy that way. Anyway, I think of myself as a fairly good, experienced driver. When I need to stop my car I want to be able to do so accurately over the braking distance. The fortwo's brakes seemed to grab inconsistently making a smooth stop very difficult. For what it's worth, I am not alone in this observation.

Your iPod interface would not let me play my mp3s on a non-iPod mp3 player. Why would I want to pay for that? Get the cheap radio and do an aftermarket upgrade.

I, too, "fell in love" with the Smarts in Europe, as I travel there frequently. I saw a couple of decorated yellows in CapeTown in March, only a couple of non-descript colors in Buenos Aires in late April. But, having just returned from Italy, saw both a light green and a deep green in Milan. I love green, and yours is so cool. But I do have a yellow Passion cabriolet , now 3 months old, and am loving it. Looks like a bumblebee with a license plate 2 SMART.

I would like XM or sirius radio available. I miss that. I also appreciate my OnStar! But I love the smart even without it. thanks. Barb

Hey Victor, the smart is definitely not a toy. It has been used as primary transportation all over the world for up to a decade. I've been driving mine for 2.5 years in Canada (in winter and summer) and it has performed well. Yes, it is fairly pricey but this generation is considerably cheaper than the first gen sold in Canada.
cheers,
garth

Hybrid or Diesel import in the U.S. I love the car but would expect that after 10 years of Manufacturing you could of come up with a better environmentel solution. These cars can and should be doing 70-80 mpg but why not shoot for the stars and lets go for 100 mpgs.
The other manufacturers like VW are coming out with diesel based cars that will get 60-70 mpgs this fall so increased mpg's is what I really wish for.

The radio sucks on the Smart I am overhauling her at a cost of $2000 bucks you would think that with their volume they would offer a decent system to its consumers for maybe half that cost and I bet that most would pay for it.
Let's face it the radio should be bluetooth, XM or Sirus enabled and allow you to plug in your ipod. It troubles me that most manufacturers just don't get most peoples needs
