What attracted you to the smart car: First thing was the overall design of the smart car with it's excellent engineering features combined with its functional goal of being a commuter car that delivers high Miles Per Gallon (MPG) to combat the ever increasing cost of Gasoline which now has reached $4 per gallon. Plus, I simply love the way it looks !
Favorite Model: Passion
Your favorite features: I love the two seat design with the hatch-back cargo storage area which makes it an excellent commuter car. Also, the smart car is eco-friendly for the environment. Finally, the smart car makes a statement that small micro-cars can make a difference in dealing with the high cost of gasoline, the pollution and congestion that is produced by the driving demands of the U.S.
I love the fact the smart car fortwo is paving the way for America to change its driving habits and allow us to adapt to a changing economy while helping our environment.
Current smart car status: I have made my $99 reservation
The closest smartcenter to you is: Lindon, Utah
Your personal experiences with the smart car: I saw my first smart car fortwo in Boise, Idaho last fall (2008) and was simply fascinated by it. I began to research it and found out that it was coming to America via 74 dealerships.
So I put my $99 down on a reservation and I'm waiting till spring of 2009 to own one.
I test drove the smart car this past spring in Austin Texas at the Round Rock smart center. I loved everything about the vehicle and can't wait to see them everywhere in the country!
