Comment by rob spencer 1 day ago - Ya those are Winter tires on the car. I was going to go cheap and try to pick up tires and rims when we got back home to Terrace in northern British Columbia, But i am glad we put them on when we encountered snow in Quenel onthe way home. On the night we were travelling home a very good friend of mine driving a4x4 was killed when his truck hit slush on the road and flipped on its roof. A lot of people find it hard to believe we drive this peanut in the snow, but we have not had any problem at all. The other day we took it up to the ski hill where most of the vehicles there wer 4x4. Great little car!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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…
