"The new Smart ForFour is cheap to run and offers a wide variety of customizable options. Its small size and great maneuverability it the ideal making city, but it feels tense on the highway. "

After a long absence from the United Kingdom market is the Smart ForFour badge back, and it is a much more interesting car as the Mitsubishi-based original. The latest version has been developed together with the nice and appealing Renault Twingo, with which it shares many mechanical parts and the same rear engine layout.

the ForFour and its Twingo cousins were always thought to to feel at home in the city and both treat crowded streets with ease and has a small overall dimensions and a tight turning circle. The engine to be abnormally directly to the back is hidden under the boot floor, but driving enthusiasts do not get too excited - as opposed to the Porsche 911, this decision was not related to grip and traction and to do everything with packaging and safety [

The list of color and trim combinations is huge, with three trim levels each has three sets of optional extras and 40 paint colors available. Getting started is passion, followed by Prime and proxy, and then a special edition issue # 1 is with almost any optional
equipment for all is generous. Each model has electronic climate control air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, electric windows, Bluetooth and remote control central locking.
