A/C went out on a very hot day. I stopped by midmorning to see Spencer. After leaving the car and getting a shuttle ride to work, Spencer communicated via text often on the progress of the diagnosis. Once the problem was discovered and the repairs given the green light, work began. A few hours later I received a text that the car was done. Fast A/C repairs on a very hot day. Way to go Fletcher Jones.
2017 smart ForTwo Passion Review

So far 26000 miles and its only a year. Love this car, fast, cute and nimble.
Not to comfortable on long drives but for commuting to work etc its fantastic.
I use this car for business purposes. I drive about 1500 miles per month. I live in Colorado so it’s cold in the winter. I get approximately 42 miles to the gallon in the winter and about 38 in the summer because of the air conditioning. This is definitely not a luxury vehicle but it’s really not bad especially for the price. It has a great turning radius. There is a lot more room inside then you would expect.
It has a very tight suspension so you are very aware of every bump that you hit. It also has a 70 hp engine so if you expect to get from 0 to 60 in anything less than five minutes this probably isn’t the car for you. However, I have never had any issues with the car and is very reliable. I have put approximately 40,000 miles on it since I got it and it currently has 60,000.
My biggest complaint with the car is that rattles regularly, like something is loose but I cannot figure out what it is. It is worth mentioning that this used to be a ’Car to Go’ and who knows what they did to it to fit it for their credit card charging systems, so this may be their fault. You can hear road noise quite a bit in this car.
I love the fact that it is little and you can park it anywhere. You could make a U-turn basically anywhere. It does not go well in the snow so if you live in a snowy climate you might consider something else unless you have a winter vehicle.
In 2018 bought a 2013 smartfortwo one-owner coupe with 70,000 miles (yes!) and it runs like a brand-new car. The driver/passenger interior area is roomier than our other cars. Yes, it's a two-seater, but you know that when you decide to get one, just like a Corvette buyer is paying a lot and getting no back seat. Ever take note on the freeway how many cars have one occupant? So many that the car pool lanes are usually empty. Gas and maintenance costs are minimal. Just got a new battery because the original one died after 6 years and 70,000 miles. The local Mercedes dealer gave it a thorough inspection for us after purchase from CarMax and did not charge us a penny to do so! Only downside is that it gets no respect from other drivers, but that's okay. It is like a high-tech carnival ride, and the paddles make shifting a breeze. We use it for freeway commuting sometimes and it keeps up with the pack just fine. Wish we had gotten one sooner.
