I placed my GPS Nav slash cell phone on the windshield to the left of the steering wheel, just above the AC vent. I find it is out of the way there and provides me with the turn by turn directions from that location just fine. Incoming calls are rou…

Well, I don't think I like the Smart's transmission. In automatic mode, it will go into 5th-gear at 35 miles per hour, so I shift it manually. When I get to a red light, I forget I'm manually shifting it, and the RPM's go way too high. It is burdens…

Since I purchased mine on August 4th of this year, I haven't seen another single one in the Nashville area, although I know there have to be a few around. When I visited friends and family members from August 7th to the 12th in Hampton, Georgia, I s…

My blue smart car is the second blue one in my town. I have only seen two others here which adds up to 4. Monterey Bay, CA has a few more and I have seen a green one from over there. They are getting more popular in southern CA and I expect that the…

Actually no. I'm pretty new to the Nashville area. I went to see my dentist yesterday, and then I drove to the Great Escape in downtown Nashville. I wouldn't have been able to go to these places without my GPS. The traffic was terrible, but I could…

More About Me:
I've recently moved to Nashville. I collect DVD's, and music. I can still play the acoustic guitar, although I haven't picked one up in about a year. My father, Vern Gosdin, was in the country music industry, and I too got involved with it.

Julie, I agree, they need to step up their advertising. I know the dealer here in San Antonio has about 2 dozen cars on the lot and I haven't noticed too many of them moving. Also, they seem to lose a lot of repeat customers because of the cost of…

I"ve been hearing a lot about dealerships closing all across the USA, and I have to say I'm quite concerned. Sales are WAY down, to the point where dealers can't cover their overhead. Why hasn't Smart USA launched an advertising campaign? Don't the…

I agree with you, Herb. At first I was gentle on my smartie and my mpg was mid-30's. After I got used to driving it, I started having fun and was hard on the gas pedal doing 70-80 mph, quick starts getting on to the freeway, flooring it to downshift…

L. R., See my comment to Walter. Also, start pushing the car a lot harder. Your engine needs to be worked hard to loosen up and give you better mileage. Never mind the "soft-pedal" approach in "D". Go for the gusto in Manual mode. Works great in the…

Walter, take the car back to the dealer and request that they perform an MPG check for you. There's no charge for cars still in warranty. Herb

I bought my 2008 SMART used with 14,000 miles on the clock. At first, I got about 25 mpg, so I took it to Mercedes for a check-up. The results came back as 36.9 mpg! I have no idea if they did anything to the car or not, but I too suddenly got city…

Above 65 mph mpg goes down, wind and it goes down, allowing your foot to get heavy, goes down. I drive in semi urban and get 38-40 all the time. But in the city stop and go, I accelerate very slowly and as the clutch disengages , I lift slightly so…
