You can order the area451 cruise control here: http://www.smartieparts.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=295 Since it retails for $480 (plus shipping), getting one installed at a dealer for $400 is a real deal!

Dave G. , I just had an aftermarket Cruise Control installed in my 2010 smart passion at the Mercedesdealer in San Antonio Texas, which as you probably already know has taken Smartdistribution back from Penske. They installed the Area 451…

After owning my 2009 Smart Car for a year, I have finally started to use the wheel paddles for shifting. Now I use them all the time except in parking lots. Before I used to just press the gas and go. Using the shifters helped me…

It's certainly a good price and the trip computer is a nice bonus; the only downside is having to give up the steering wheel paddles if you get the factory cruise control.

Cruise Control

I'm glad to see that cruise control is finally being offered as a factory installed option on the fortwo. I just wish it had been available when my car was built (it's a 2009). Wondering if aftermarket units are likely to come down in price considering the factory unit is only $280 and includes a trip computer. I drove a 2011 with the cruise and it works great.

Sorry we missed each other on Saturday, although I did see you drive by. I was parked across the street from the town hall showing off my smart to a couple of passers by. Never did see Tami. We'll have to try it again. Take care.

Congratulations! May your smart be everything you hoped for.

Found another smart (Virgina plate) that played 'birddog' and we ran 80/85 for about 3 hours - it was phenomenal - total rush. Let me know when/where for a gathering... I'll be there!

I have the exact same smart and I love it. I also had the same DDE and took delivery from smart center Bedford on 12/27/08 so if you don't already have yours it should be coming very soon. You will love it!

(west sider).I purchased an orphan from the Bedford Smart Center back in May. My lease was up on my 04 Scion XB and my DDE was not till Nov.

Not much new here. I did get my 3DE back this past Sunday - April / June '09. I am also waiting on a Rally Red / Black Passion down here in Louisiana. I am expecting the date will change again, as long as I have it, I remain calm and wait my turn. Can't stand it when it disappears...
Good luck and be careful out there,

Welcome and yes, I keep hoping to hear about the 'events' BEFORE they are over.... I've yet to attend one - but LOVE my smart. My plate is TEEHEEE - if you see me - say hey! Look forward to meeting you! I'll keep my eyes open for a new red one on the road... really have only seen another yellow, a blue and one silver so far in the area. I am on the east side (near Chagrin and 271....
