Smart ForFour review

Smart has gone big on making the ForFour’s modest interior as functional as possible: the rear seats fold flat, while their squabs can be flipped forward, leaving space for a 50-inch flatscreen telly (so we’re told) where the rear passengers’ backsides would normally lurk. The rear doors open to 85 degrees - so virtually at right angles to the car - making it easier to load children and other possessions into the back. The front passenger seat hinges right forward, too, providing load-space, Smart asserts, for a 2.2-metre flat-pack bookcase.
