I just visited the SmartManiacs website and, to quote:
"JOIN smartmaniacs it's FREE!
.. claim your FREE DISCOUNT CARD.
SAVE ON servicing, parts, ICE, Graphics and more.... "
Maybe you want to reconsider?
It's ceratinly worth digging about for owners clubs for your car, and it's then worth asking when you are buying things for that car if there are owners club discounts available. Result: more money saved!

Slightly tongue in cheek, but do you think a Smart car is suitable for a money saving expert?
- It isn't cheap - there are many cheaper cars
- It isn't economical - there are many more economical cars.
- It isn't that small - you still take up a lane on the road and a parking space like any other car
- It is short - which actually makes it poorer handling than a supermini and less safe in an accident.
Don't tell me style and fashion are more important than money-saving"You may have speed, but I have momentum"
The insurance is the lowest category.
It is very economical and depreciation isn't too bad.
Parking is phenomenal, i tend to hang out in central london most of the time.
And best of all its a non-status car, unlike a normal small car, no one can work out how much money a smart owner earns!

Charliehead, have you looked at crash reports involving Smarts? They are one of the safest cars on the road!!!!! :j
