Test Drive Smart Forfour 2003 - 2006 Hatchback

Extended interpretation

What does this car resemble me? Throwing the nose and characteristic headlights or a shark, whether another marine beast. And the general view of course, superbike!
 
Triumph of functional minimalism! It is impossible to pass by ... We have not passed a short acquaintance with Smart-Fofo occurred during a business trip to Riga.
 
For four. The newcomer of the original company Smart (SM, 2004, No. 3) invaded the suspended models, but a very capacious segment of V. Unusual coloring, a four-seater interior configuration (for Four literally for four) is nothing more than a dexted marketing course to highlight a model among dozens of others. In general, this is a completely ordinary car, including a five-seater modification.
 
However, five in the salon for four are still busting, but a regular set, including a photographer, an increase in 198 cm, is located without problems.
 
Top Passion complete set without discounts on modest sizes and democratic image. We note the electric power steering, ESP stabilization system, four airbags, climate control, heated seats, glass roof. However, it is worth such a kid not at all in childish 17 320 euros! And on our car, besides, rain and light sensors, a built-in phone, a leather interior, a huge transparent hatch and a lot of four thousand euros.
 
Just like an adult. Christmas trees, what is the broadest front of him! In the unimpressed sector hide the average car in the turn, you pull your head, like a Chinese Dwarf: It seems to be anyone ... Delvito renovating, Smart famously broke from the place: 109 horses when equipped mass less than tons guarantee a serious dynamics of 9.8 s to one hundred. And soon there will be charged to 177 liters. with. Tuning version Brabus This mad stool accelerates for 6.9 s! Checking the indicators to our plans is not included, we note only that in the torn city rhythm of the treagoralness with an excess.
 
On our typewriter, a six-speed machine is installed, more precisely, a manual transmission with automatic control. In my opinion, for small volume engines, it is suitable better than traditional hydromechanics. Would you like to drive, twisting the turnover to six thousand? There are no problems, the box can be controlled and manually pair of petals under the wheel.
 
Translated, not mistaken
Initially, SMART The name of the tiny double city car was translated as a clever. With the increase in the gamma and the appearance of the ForFour model turned out to be in demand and other values \u200b\u200bof elegant, trendy, prompt, strong. However, in expanding the interpretation, it is important to know the measure to hope that the pain and sorrow found in the dictionary will remain unclaimed.
