I've owned this car from brand new and was purchased in February of 2008 when they first arrived in this country. It is loaded with nearly every option available. Those options are: Electric Windows, power steering, power locks, power steering, leather interior (black), heated seats, rain sensing wiper control, Panoramic roof, electronic stability control (ESC) ABS (4 wheel), AC and traction control AM/FM stereo, dual air bags, side air bags, paddle shifters on steering wheel. This car has been meticulously maintained and is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. It was garaged whenever it was home and not used. It presently has the stock wheels and Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires on them (one season left) but I also have another set of aftermarket, premium alloy wheels mounted with summer tires and a stock steel wheel garage spare. Unlike the stock configuration, all the tires are the same size so that they can be rotated for better tire efficiency and improved handling. Service records are kept with the car. Skins of a different color are available for this car if you want to change the color simply by changing the skins. I averaged 40 mpg with this car (city/highway combined). It IS fuel efficient. The automatic transmission with paddle shifters is a nice option as well if you like to be sporty. The 71 hp engine has surprisingly snappy response and you'll have no trouble negotiating in traffic. Another big advantage for this car is that you will never have to worry about finding a parking spot! People will always leave a space somewhere that's too narrow for most cars to fit in.....NOT THE SMART! I call them "Smarty Spots"! A lot of people think this car is unsafe due to its size. NOT TRUE! The Tridion Safety Cell is a Mercedes Benz engineering design (car is built by Mercedes Benz of France) that creates a built-in roll cage within the unibody frame of the car. IT IS AN ESCAPE CAPSULE! With the 4 air bags it has, the driver and passenger are very well protected in an accident. This car, with the extra premium wheels and garage spare, is a great bargain at the asking price.
