Smart ForFour 2004
Weighs only a ton! Accordingly, 1.5 petrol engine moves this light groundhog much better than you might expect. Also, due to weight of steering is very precise, less eating tyres and other things, low consumption. In short - super carting. Lot of space for people in back seats, but small trunk - however, moving rear seat may reach opposite effect.

Pros: Weighs only a ton! Accordingly, 1.5 petrol engine moves this light groundhog much better than you might expect. Also, due to weight of steering is very precise, less eating tyres and other things, low consumption. In short - super carting. Lot of space for people in back seats, but small trunk - however, moving rear seat may reach opposite effect.
Cons: Bad sound insulation. Stiff. If city lack of respect, if driving following rules.
