2005 Smart forfour BRABUS
Think smart; think small; think cute; think cuddly; think economical. Think SLOW! The smart forfour BRABUS comes with a 177bhp turbocharged 1.5-litre engine and seats four. It's not small, cute, cuddly or economical; welcome to the anti-smart.

2005 Smart ForFour (1.3 Passion manual)
It was inevitable that, having established a foothold in the micro car market, Smart would seek to expand. Tiny, but fun sports cars followed and have been greeted warmly by the image conscious and small car enthusiasts alike. From there, the only way is up and so Smart now finds itself entering into the more conventional car world.

2004 Smart Roadster Brabus
I don't think I've ever belly laughed as much as I did when a young lad swerved his BMX into his friend's bike and both of them fell over on the footpath. The reason for this? The poor fellow was straining to see the Smart Roadster Brabus burbling its way through the narrow streets.

2003 Smart Roadster Coupe
A spacious, practical and economical solution to the problem of the daily commute or inner city transport, the original Smart city car was as clever as it was cute and chic. Off the back of this success MCC are expanding its range to include a conventional super-mini and a micro sports cars based on the ethos of the original Smart car.

2001 Smart Coupe (Passion)
I'm dubious about small cars. More often than not they're cheap, tacky, under-specified, and no fun to drive. A perfect example is the Ford Ka - possibly my least favourite car. Apart from a bit of art college futurist design, it is a complete abomination. I hate the looks (which is never a good start)...
