Great little car. Lovely to drive, can turn on a sixpence! Still discovering all the gadgets and gizmos. Very good value and economical.

Great value, fab little run around. The boot is quite large and the four seats are a definite plus. The engine is in the boot and the front bonnet just pops off to reveal the water fill up. The dash is easy to understand and for a l.0 its pretty nippy. The passion is orange inside and the way it has been done it looks great. A wonderful little car which has zero car tax

a decent small car for around the town. Front seats have plenty of room for the average sized driver. The back less so wouldnt want to travel too far seated there. Driving in Eco mode with air con etc. off gives me a range of around 90ish miles. The 2020 model will accept 22kw charging but mine was only supplied with a 32A 7Kw l+ 13A domestic mains lead. So for fast charging you need to splash out on a new fast charging [3phase] lead. The boot is small especially when the two charging cable are bagged in it. However it improves a bit when the seats are folded down .

For such a small vehicle it handles and responds like a larger engined vehicle.

Smart ForFour (2014-2022) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Manoeuvrability makes it very capable in the city | Not all that much fun to drive |
| Unusual styling stands out | Rather expensive compared with rivals |
| Generally feels like a premium product | Small boot |
Quick Summary
The Smart ForFour (2014-2022) is a four-seat city car developed in conjunction with the Renault Twingo, offering a more refined driving experience than its predecessor. With an ultra-tight 8.65-metre turning circle and excellent manoeuvrability, it excels in urban environments. The rear doors open to 85 degrees, making access easier, whilst clever engineering maximises interior space. With rear seats folded, boot capacity reaches an impressive 975 litres, though with seats up it's limited to just 185 litres.
Available with a non-turbo 1.0-litre petrol engine (70bhp) or turbocharged 0.9-litre (89bhp), the ForFour delivers modest performance suited to city driving. Fuel economy reaches around 54.3mpg, with low CO2 emissions of 113-123g/km, keeping running costs economical. The interior feels vibrant and premium, with clever touches like folding seats and wide-aperture doors. However, it's not designed for longer motorway journeys, and the small engines require hard work to maintain faster traffic speeds. Despite depreciation making it affordable on the used market, rivals like the Renault Twingo offer similar mechanics at lower prices.
Best for: Urban drivers seeking excellent manoeuvrability and parking ease, those valuing distinctive styling and premium feel, and budget-conscious buyers taking advantage of depreciation.
Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising value for money, those requiring a spacious boot, or buyers seeking engaging driving dynamics and motorway comfort.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart ForFour | 2/5 | 4.8/5 | 30.3% | 3.9/5 |
| Fiat 500 | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 42.7% | 4.2/5 |
| Renault Twingo | 3/5 | 5.0/5 | 32.9% | 4.0/5 |
| Volkswagen Up | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 34.8% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the ForFour if: You prioritise urban manoeuvrability and parking ease, value distinctive styling and premium interior feel, or seek an affordable used city car after depreciation.
Consider alternatives if: You need excellent value for money, require a spacious boot, or desire engaging driving dynamics and motorway comfort.
Competitive Position: The Smart ForFour (2014-2022) is a capable urban runabout with excellent manoeuvrability and a premium feel, but it struggles to justify its higher price compared to mechanically similar rivals like the Renault Twingo. Whilst the Fiat 500 and Volkswagen Up offer better value propositions and more engaging driving experiences, the ForFour's distinctive styling and clever interior design appeal to those willing to pay a premium for urban practicality. On the used market, depreciation makes it a more sensible proposition, though rivals still offer superior value and driving enjoyment for most buyers.
