When they first brought the Smart Fourtwo to Canada I test drove one. I'm 6ft tall and my wife is 5'6" and we both fit in no problem, it was very comfortable. We test drove the diesel version and it was pretty peppy. It had the floor shifters and paddle shifters, you could put it in manual mode and shift like by pushing either the shifter or paddles or you could leave it in auto and just drive. Manual mode was a little jerky somewhat like a regular person driving a manual. There was space for a few grocery bags behind the seat or a couple of small suitcases. The motor was easy to get too, it was under a hatch door behind the seats. There was only a can of tire sealant and a air compressor, no spare tire. They are selling ones for around the same price I paid for my Aveo, but I get a spare tire, four doors and a rear seat so the kids can ride along, and a gas engine that is easier to run in the winter time. I liked the Smart car, I just didn't see it as a primary car but rather a secondary runabout for doing errands in the city.
