Toy Hauler Option
Hey everyone! Love this forum and I’m always reading and learning something new here from all the full timers. I’m still a ‘wannabe’ but have an executable timeline and a fairly clear idea of what’s...

OMG, John and Angela, this was the EXACT Smart car I had! An original Mercedes model, right? Same color and everything. It was SO nice with the top down... (wistful)
I'm not sure how accurate your and my judgements are of the Smart cars any readers of this forum are likely to be able to get now in the US. If you got yours in Canada it's likely diesel; mine was gas.
The ones available in the US do NOT have Mercedes motors (Mitsubishi?) and from what I understand, are also even a little narrower. I can't vouch for them at all since I've no experience with them. The Mercedes ones (rare and hard to find in the US) are little champs. My Mercedes repair facility told me they never see them except for routine maintenance.
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have been thinking that since my first post about my Smart, I have no idea how the ones manufactured in the US handle, nor what their reliability is like.
