Gayla, I have this car and I love it (as I love all my cars) I bought it in January, I've filled the tank only three times. Some strange things happen while driving this car, people pull up beside you and start waving and beeping their horn (?) I'm like *
Do I know you?* then I realize, oh its the car.......then I get these huge trucks pull up beside me on the highway and want to race (?)
Are you serious? look how old I am, I quit racing last decade....but then I have to blow their doors off because this thing flies, then when they catch up I STICK MY TONGUE OUT AT THEM...But my favorite, and it's happened all three times while getting gas.....some guy will come over and check the car all out and then ask *
AH, is this electric*
Yeah buddy....thats why I'm putting gas into it* lol
Made by Mercedes, and called Smart for a reason. It's a joy to drive. There are only 42 dealerships in the US....many states don't have a dealership, so thats why the car turns heads. Last year, year ending 2010, 40,000 were sold. Mercedes does zero marketing of the car....it sells itself.
I'm lucky, as I have a dealership in my town.
