Smart forfour was phase out on 2006, you can check with motortrader for that secondhand model but very hard to find ones. 1.5L yr 2000, secondhand value is about 60-65k.

Hi Syeh,

wonder when can I find a good condition second hand smart forfour. How much does one cost now (say for the 2007 version).

Please advise.

Thanks! I wonder how much road tax for Smart Fortwo and Smart Forfour annually, respectively in Malaysia? I heard it’s cheap since it has about 800cc?

XYZ, if you buy new ones, you can always go to Cycle Carriage to because of 2-years full warranty.

I bought 1.3 powered forfour on Aug 2008 (2006 model). Right now, already a year. No problem with it, only Power Steering failure (this happened last October due to long term in storage because it is 2006 model according to Cycle & Carriage consultant, they replaced with new ones FOC).

Handling was very good compared to my previous potong, p2 and my current naza. Power? It did satisfy me (maybe coz I am not a racer,just a family man).. easily cruise 130kmh at 3000 rpm (6th gear auto & semiauto). Top Speed I've ever tried with this car.. 200 still stable!!

Fuel consumption, satisfactory, RM50 for 480km.

This car is crap. Im currently a malaysian living in the birth country of Smarts so i know quite alot about this car coz its scattered around Berlin like Kancils in MidValley.

In euros, a basic manual transmition costs around 11,300 EUR and it goes to 27,000 EUR for the Brabus model. In Malaysia, this may look cute and promising but its just a Mitsubishi Colt underneth. The design may attract the young and sporty, but in Malaysia, for over RM100,000? the price tag seems to be targeted at business men/parents who may not like the design.

In Berlin, theres loads of students and young families with this car coz its cheap, its longer than any other compact MPVs such as Daihatsu’s and Toyota’s MPVs and its also cheaper than Audi A3, Ford Focus and the VW Golf not to mention its stylish and cheap (in Europe that is). But power wise, its not a good choice.

I was thinking of getting this car for my 18th in 5 months but im thinking twice about it coz there are much bigger cars here with the similar price. But if you’re looking for style, agility, and a brand name that has respect from the world around, this may be the car for you.

[...] Everyone is into the SUV craze and so is Smart, the small car manufacturer division of Daimler Chrysler. Wikipedia says the Smart formore was supposed to be an SUV based on the same platform as the Mercedes Benz C-class, sharing an architecture that would be used for a future Mercedes Benz MLK-class. But some other sources have said it’s built up from the Smart Forfour chassis which was based on the 2003 Mitsubishi Colt. The Smart formore would have followed Smart’s classic body styling – interchangeable plastic body panels on a steel frame. The SUV was to be powered by Mitsubishi’s 4G15 1.5 petrol unit, which was also used in the Brabus-tuned version of the Smart forfour. [...]

Tze said-"The Smartâ€™s have always been expensive, even in native Europe. This has been the primary hurdle of ownership, with everything else being relatively cheap." Well the fourfor petrol engine (colt engine) models cost about the same as mitsubishi colt OTR but the diesel models (mercedes A class) engines are cheaper then the A class by about 2-3 K pounds. The specs for smart forfour 1.5 and colt 1.5 are very similar. At 8-10K they are competitively priced in UK. Here paradoxically you have to be rich to get extraordinary fuel economy and drive a low emission vehicle. If fuel prices continue to be manipulated to skyrocket and motor vehicular population in M'sia continues to rise exponentially highly fuel efficient low emission vehicles are what everyone needs to have in future and the government has to step up and do something about this rather than sit on its ass guzzling oil revenues to fuel its budget deficit and wasteful spending on road infrastructure and fancy government buildings.

[...] The Mitsubishi Colt CZC will be produced at NedCar’s plant in The Netherlands. NedCar used to be the plant that produced Mitsubishi-Volvo joint venture platform vehicles, a partnership that has since failed. NedCar also makes the smart forfour. [...]

Well, perdana, city, jazz, good value if ou want old technology. What the 100K gets you is a Pseudo Mercedes Benz, you can get the technology which you otherwise might have to pay what is it 290K for a C class Mercedes?

Cutting edge technology like the ESP, the state of the art automatic manual transmission, good power to weight ratio, futuristic styling. Maybe the Smart cars are for those radicals who want to be 'diferent'(and maybe got loads of cash to splash)

I saw it in 1 Utama last sunday hanging from the shopping complexes ceiling…it looks fabulous but for the price, add 20k more and get the latest Grand Vitara. Full of safety features including the side airbags..good eh.

hurmmm.. this one looks more like a car compared with its cousin, smart-4-2.. really cute.. but paul, when u mentioned the plastic panels as "outer skin", so there is metal panels below the plastic panels izzit? correct me if i'm wrong.. and guys, for all that features and a slightly powerful than average power for a compact car, i think the price is ok laa.. summore it is from chrysler.. sure good quality and no hanky panky problems that are found in local but not so cheap cars.. rite haa?
