Smart Fortwo Coupé (04-07) - Review

It makes the most of the available space. Although it's only a two-seater, both occupants get plenty of room and - as it's a tall design, there's plenty of headroom. Models with a glass roof benefit from a light and airy interior, however some don't have air-con, which turns the City Coupe into a glasshouse on wheels in the summer. And it's noisy.

One suitcase or a couple of overnight bags or a mid-week shop. That's it. Inside, there are cubby holes for your nick-knacks and a small space behind the seats.

Comfy and easy to get along with. Some of the controls are a little unusual, but you soon get the hang of them and they're all in easy-to-reach places. Comfortable driving position and excellent all-round visibility. Remember to put your foot on the brake to engage reverse. Key can only be removed when the car is in neutral.
