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 clever, city-focused four-seater that prioritises urban manoeuvrability and style over outright performance. Developed with the Renault Twingo, it offers a more refined driving experience with improved sound deadening and a slicker interior. The second generation provides the most spacious Smart car available, with ingenious design solutions such as rear doors opening to 85 degrees and rear seats folding completely flat to reveal 975 litres of boot space. Available with either a non-turbo 1.0-litre petrol engine (70bhp) or a turbocharged 0.9-litre three-cylinder (89bhp), paired with five-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions, it excels at navigating tight urban spaces with an impressive 8.65-metre turning circle.
The ForFour delivers a relaxed, fuss-free driving experience with a well-balanced chassis that proves entertaining on twistier routes, though smaller engines require more effort on motorways. Fuel economy reaches approximately 54.3mpg with the turbocharged automatic, whilst CO2 emissions of 113-123g/km keep tax costs low. The interior feels vibrant and premium with clever design touches, though some cheaper plastics appear lower in the cabin. Running costs are generally modest, and the used market now offers excellent value following depreciation, making it an affordable option for those seeking a stylish, practical city car with distinctive character.
Best for: Urban drivers seeking excellent manoeuvrability and parking ease, those who appreciate distinctive styling and premium interior design, and buyers wanting a practical four-seater for city commuting.
Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising performance or engaging driving dynamics, those requiring a large boot, or buyers seeking the best value compared with rivals like the Renault Twingo or Volkswagen Up.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart ForFour | 2/5 | 4.8/5 | 31.2% | 3.9/5 |
| Fiat 500 | 3/5 | 4.6/5 | 42.5% | 4.2/5 |
| Renault Twingo | 3/5 | 5.0/5 | 31.7% | 4.0/5 |
| Volkswagen Up | 5/5 | 4.0/5 | 32.2% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the ForFour if: You're an urban driver seeking excellent manoeuvrability and distinctive styling, value a premium interior feel, or want a practical four-seater for city commuting at a reasonable used price.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise driving engagement, require a larger boot, seek the best value proposition, or prefer more conventional styling and proven reliability.
Competitive Position: The Smart ForFour (2014-2022) occupies a unique position in the city car market, offering distinctive design and premium interior quality that rivals struggle to match. Whilst the Fiat 500 provides better value and the Renault Twingo offers near-identical mechanics at a lower cost, the ForFour's superior manoeuvrability and refined feel justify its premium positioning for style-conscious urban drivers. The Volkswagen Up delivers superior driving dynamics and reliability, making it the more practical choice for those prioritising performance. However, for buyers seeking a characterful, well-equipped city car with excellent parking credentials, the ForFour represents an increasingly affordable option on the used market.
