    My whole thing was I was barley able to get a 2002 smoke stinking corrola on the budget i have at the moment, I refuse to use my credit, as my income is gone, so buying this gives me a newer car and my insurance went down 140.00 a year :)

    oh ok... well hopefully all the bugs have surfaced and have been dealt with at 18K.


    Yeah you can check out SCOA or Clubsmartcar. SCOA will obviously have a bigger member base because it's based in the US. CsC is Canadian-based.

    Hey I think it's fantastic you got a Smart. My fiance drives a Pontaic POS and I'm trying to convince her to trade it in for a Smart.

    I'm not familiar with the POS from the Pontiac line-up, can you post a picture?


    Yeah, I know, all Pontiacs are pieces of s***!

    Funny how a google search for 'Pontiac POS' yielded this fine gem of a minivan:

    Hey! How's it feel driving? Is it pretty smooth or go-cart-ish? Are you happy with the interior? A/C?
