i bought the 190E for my wife, it had a new factory engine installed in it, my wife left me, so i sold the metro at 50% over KBB and drove the 190E until my smart arrived (reserved the smart 2 months before i got married)
the metro isn't a bad car, i had mine 9-1/2 years, only replaced the exhaust. if i didn't have a smart on order, i'd have dumped the 190E, which i dumped after the smart arrived.
i'm only hoping the smart will mirror the metro in reliability and dependability. the smart has a 10% mpg advantage over the metro (real world, not EPA) but in maintenance ($70 for an oil change, $17 for filter alone)
i hope the wait for your smart isn't that long (talk to the dealer about orphans, by last may, i met 2 orphan owners from Loeber, 2 of the smarts in my "4 smarts" pics were Loeber orphans)
