2009 brabus blew engine after dealership did oil change, smart threw a fit said they never had a blown engine before, took 4 weeks before the decide to honor warranty and now it will take 8 weeks to get it repaired. what should i do , should i keep talking about how good the car is or should i tell every one how sorry the warranty department is?
Tell it like it is .... it will help all of us. My smart seats started to show wear at 300 miles, YES 300 miles. The edges started to get all fuzzy. I have the stock gray pure seats. My dealer called Smart USA and after a lot of back and forth they decided to replace the whole seat. Not just the covers the whole seat. In addition, the passenger seat is starting to do the same thing. I guess I have to start taking the sandpaper out of my back pocket. Anyway, Smart USA will not put different covers on because they say it is an "isolated" problem and does not happen often. So if you have problems, let us all know.

Oh, and by the way, GREAT comedic writing - I laughed multiple times during the reading of this review. Not only was I interested in it, but I had great fun reading it. Thanks for that too!
Rick, thanks SO much for this great and detailed review! I hope to get one of these on order within the next few days myself. Jeez, it's half the price of the other one.
But I have one quick question - I saw people talk about the other one (Scangau…
