  • Road Test: Smart Forfour (2004-)
    Superminis by: Farah Alkhalisi
    Smart Forfour (04- )
    4CAR RATING:

    Assets

    Design, sense of fun, bright colourful cabin options, sliding rear seat, a decent all-rounder

    Drawbacks

    Hard, bouncy ride, not quite as much fun to drive as it could have been, expensive for what it is

    Verdict

    The Forfour has a few shortcomings, and is more conventional than it looks, but we suspect that smitten buyers will forgive it a lot: it's that sort of car.
