Smart City Coupé (00-04) - Review Review by Parkers on 17 November 2005 Demand for this ultra-chic city car really took off when right-hand-drive models hit the market. Before that it was available in left-hand-drive and there are now a small amount on the used market. As a result, prices for the original left-hand-drive cars have fallen to tempting levels. Buyers are attracted to its economical tiny engines, ease of parking and the attractive cabriolet. On sale in the UK since 2000, the range was re-branded fortwo from the start of 2004. 4 out of 5 Other Smart reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £5,700 - £12,428 Used price range: £1,132 - £4,019 View all used prices Get a Smart City Coupé (00-04) information pack Next steps Smart City Coupé cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
