Why I love this unusual, rear-engined City Car - the Smart ForFour W453
When Smart and Renault teamed up for the rear-engined ForFour and Twingo (and the shorter ForTwo) I was hooked. It was such an unusual concept for a 2010s car design. But does the driving experience match my expectation?
The engine is a three-cylinder Mercedes-Benz unit, also used in Renaults and Dacias. And yes, there is a proper gearbox!
