i find this car just impressive. sure it's pricey, sure it's not the epitome of luxury... but it seems from all i hear that it is as well put together as lexus, as powerful as porsche, and as much of a social statement of a maserati...

their are still purists in music listening to vinyl... playing hockey with a wooden stick... grinding their own coffee beans... not all the new stuff is better in all ways, but these electric cars sure do have some impressive credentials.... i still feel there will be a place for ice vehicles... i'm sure i'll have one. whether its because i'm stubborn or what i don't know yet...
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

It's not super well put together.  My friend has had his fair share of service appointments.   Not sure what, I know the last one was a trunk latch problem.  They aren't perfect. 

But considering this is their first car it is very impressive quality.

My grins from ear to ear every time she drives the Smart Electric Drive.

When we went to test drive the P85 in Nov (before P85D announce) she refused to drive it.  She didn't want to like it as much as she likes the Smart, as she is the one who decides when her GLK gets traded in...

Oh well, loving my Smart ED and looking forward to more electric cars coming out of the next few years, variety can only help sales.
