Hi there. I'm from South West UK.
I bought the wife an S-MX about a year ago, great little car, fantastic for a quick weekend away as the seats fold flat to make a bed.
Surprised these cars havent taken off more in the UK, but as been mentioned they are quite unique so thats nice.
This car also has the knocking from underneath especially when going over bumps. When the car was in for new tyres I got underneath and shook the exhaust but couldent make it touch the bodywork.
Maybe its the fuel tank hitting the bottom?
Any ideas welcome.
Hope to find a few more S-MX owners here soon.
