Here is the first Smart "super-mini" class car for more than 2 people.
The call it "forfour", rather appropriately.
In typical Smart fashion, the interior is practical, and includes little beyond the basic essentials. The shape is little different to many of the modern superminis being built these days, except for the usual polarising Smart details, including the Tridion frame in contrasting colours.

looks pretty good actually. it should be a nice affordable way to get around town.
Looks pretty funky and kool. Be cheap if u didn't mind being a foot away fromt heg rear fo the car., then again, the 20's and 30's cars had seats on the rear wall but that was a different time.....

i am a fan of the Smart cars, and wouldnt mind owning one sometime in the future.
I like the Smart forfour it looks pretty good for a small car, but what i want to get is a Smart Roadster - these are cool little cars :D

I agree with the Smart Roadster. It's actually pretty quick, provided you are talented enough to drive smoothly and maintain good speed through corners (to mask its lack of straight-line performance).
I saw a Coupe while working and it looked really really good. and low.

They are hard to get in and out of, when you are not accustomed to that (or more accustomed to getting in and out of larger cars).
It's like getting into some ultra-low supercar, like a Diablo, or something else similarly extreme, only it's a lot shorter in overall length.
Once you are in, all is pretty good, the seating position isn't bad, and the ergonomics are pretty much faultless.
If you need more power, Brabus will do you one with a supercharged V6 I believe. :eek: Though that somewhat defeats the purpose of the Smart in being economical.

They're prety expensive here (well there not here yet but there comming). They're 16grand (can't remember wich model), you can get a compact car for much less. I do see them being usefull in the city though.
