Smart car reviews

Small cars, small range. Young brand Smart was created by Mercedes-Benz as a maker of minuscule two-seater city cars, and it has returned to its roots with the latest ForTwo coupe and cabriolet - now its only offerings. Smart's less-than-happy foray into making sports cars and five-door hatchbacks is long forgotten. 

If only owners could forget their experience with Smarts, however. Poor reliability and aftercare problems dent the fun you're supposed to have in a Smart.
