It's way past time to take care of those…"

14,000 miles in a Smart 4-2.

Our little car was delivered in Feb 08. We purchased it as a toy to replace our Miata. We love Microcars, and as this is the first new Microcar sold in the US in decades, we jumped right on it.
Then the Gas went sky high, so as an experiment we decided to try Smartie as a business/work car (we run around 30k a year on our work cars).
We expected the little car to fail the test in reliability, and not be comfortable enough for regular 300 mile work days. Our expectations… Continue

Wife and I learned early how to flip the release and unlock the shifter,so at least we could drive it to the dealer.

If you see a brand new blue/black passion driving around AA that would be me.
I count 5 smarts I've seen in town, but I suspect you know better than I do.
Perhaps our paths will cross!

vicki said… - can you see my post about shifting. Im trying to learn the paddles and cant figure out if im supposed to be taking my foot off the gas to shift. also when is it appropriate to downshift. when im in 5th and approaching a light do i downshift. i have been for the most part using the tach and shifting when above 2000 rpms. i dont understand the "needing more power' down shift.... like others are saying. can you help me?

Joseph (Joe) Monteleone said… - Just got off of www.thetirerack.com. 5-STAR!! Thanks for the tip. I bought 1 each of the wheels for spares. And the prices were great. MUCH cheaper than the dealership. I am having a tire rack made for the road trips. Travelling "BackRoad" in AZ is great, but with no spare along: D-U-M-B !! This is a life-saver ...
