My 2015 ED smart car hits 50k miles

[Wragby]

A few days ago, our 2015 Smart ED hit 50k miles. It started as a commuter vehicle but became essential for family care and helping our kids. Since retirement, we drive it less, around 300 miles a month, but it's still our preferred car. Maintenance has been minimal, and I’ve done a few upgrades for better handling. With only slight battery degradation, we plan to keep it for many more years as long as the battery holds up. It’s still a joy to drive and gets lots of attention...

Great story! When we bought our first one new, I hoped to get ten years out of it. Now, as it approaches ten years, I'm aiming for fifteen! We loved it so much that we now have a 2014 and a 2015, both with around 30,000 miles. They’ve been by far the easiest and cheapest cars to maintain.
