Another Cute Little Car.


Yes. Another 'Smart' car, the For Four(ie 4-seater).
I'm told it shares common components with a Mazda(I think), but I can't see much of a similarity between this and other small cars.
I just love the honesty of design, the way the body-cage is distinct from the panels in this (apparently) unitary design.
The colour scheme picks out the difference from other brands in a genuine 'form-follows-function' style.

The engine is a 1.5 Litre, and the handling is said to be excellent, although it seems to be stuck with the disastrous paddle-operated semi-automatic gearbox, which is said to ruin the possibly excellent driving experience.
