Ed Lucero left a comment for Steven Fleeman"Hi Steven. We've had our Smartie since Jan 2010.....so 3 years now. Still runs great and have had no major issues with the car. I periodically drive it to work which is some 41 miles to downtown LA. I also have a Honda motorcycle, a ST1300.…"

Ed Lucero replied to Curt's discussion Avg Mileage?"I've had my Smart Passion for about a month now and am very happy with the mpg. I'm getting between 40 to 42 mpg with combination city / hwy driving."
Ed Lucero commented on Tom Robertson's blog post Mileage"I've had my smartie for 3 weeks now. I got 41.3 from the first tank of gas and 42.8 from the second tank fill. I think this is great mileage from a non-hybrid car."
Ed Lucero left a comment for Gilbert"Hey Gilbert congrats on the yellow smartie. It's a great color for the little car. I see you're a Burbanker.....I was born and raised there but now live in Simi Valley. Maybe I'll see you sometime at a Ventura Group meeting. Ed"
Ed Lucero left a comment for Shannon"Hey Shannon, thanks for the welcome and for the "heads up" on the signature sounds of my new smartie. The thumping sound did alarm me somewhat and found nothing in the owners manual about this sound. But I did read in a thread that this…"

- At 56 years old, I recently decided to hang up my motorcycle boots and make the 40 mile drive to work in something more comfortable. With the Smart Cabriolet I can still ride 2 up and in the wind.

Shannon said… - Welcome, Ed! My Smart is exactly the same just not a convertible. I too have a bike, and know what you mean about the commute. Have you discovered all the little noises and bells that would normally alarm people? Let me tell you what I know. There is a small vaccum cleaner "pump" sound at times (moreso when its warmer) that runs when you first start the car. Its normal. It reduces emissions when the car is warming up. When the car gets moving there is a rythmic thumping sound about 7 or 8 times in the floor. This is the reset for the ABS breaks. Also normal.Doors lock automatically at about 5-7 MPH, and you will notice the front suspesion is very...well...rough at times with bumps and imperfections in the road. These are my observations so far. Hope they help. Shannon
