I was taken back by the feel on the road. I was not expecting it to handle as well as it did either, almost like a go-kart feel. The rear just went where vere the front was steered. The transmission will take a bit to get used to though. It shifts funny like a stick with no stick(if that makes sense). I can just imagine the customizing one can do with the way all the plastic body panels come off.
All and all I was impressed and for $16k out the door(tax tags incl) I didn't think it was too bad.
His is equippped with A/C and radio.
Funny thing is that there really are only 2 colors. Black on Black or Silver on Black.
Although red yellow and blue are available. The color designation comes from the color of the steel compartment. Hence no other color was denoted on the title or registration. So even though his car is yellow, technically it is a Black on Black according to the title.
Wonder what the troopers here will ticket you for now since the color is different from the paper work.
Any one know what the C-> insignia mean?

Compact Moving Forward is what I was told.

the insignia--It is marketed as the "smart" in all lower case, as in the logo.
The current Smart brand logo denotes part of a circle representing the wheel and an arrow for "forward thinking" C>
