I woke up today, on a frigid October morning barely able to contain my excitement. Today, I'd be purchasing my new Smart Passion Cabriolet. I stepped through the doors of the dealership, and gazed upon my beautiful new half-car. Shimmering white, with a decidedly retro red interior, and a quaint little antenna popping up off my left mirror. It looked fantastic! The real beauty came out when I took the little guy for a spin.

The Smart car has within it (under the mat in your trunk to be precise) a 3-cylinder turbo-charged engine, that can bring the car up from zero to 60 mph in a bit over 12 seconds. So, I wasn't expecting too much from it. However, I was wrong. The car only weighs about 1500 lbs, so off the line, it was pretty quick! I was amazed to find that not only was my acceleration wonderfully responsive, my steering was too! The car made all the proper rumbly noises you'd expect from a sporty car, leaving me, with my jaw dropping a little.
All in all, the car has left a wonderful first impression. Stay tuned for more of my opinions on the car, and everything it has in store for me, and anyone else interested in one!
