Smart Forfour Brabus - Colt Ralliart with European Flair
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
A couple of years ago I reviewed a Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart, and I must say I was quite impressed... with their ability to build a car's interior so poorly. But hey, it drove great! And the Smart Forfour Brabaus is basically the same car but it's even uglier and makes a bit more power so let's see what it's like.

I have a standard one of these - 2007 Smart Forfour 1.3 5 speed manual. NZ new. Awesome car to drive. Feels solid on the road, peppy enough, handles well. 149,000 kms and still going well.

Yesss it’s excellent
Yeah they can get pretty serious power out of 1.5's these days. I recently swapped my CM2 for a FC1 Sedan, and that L15B7 can be tuned to 220hp/330nm without bolt-ons, more than a stock K24. 250 horsepower if you replace the intercooler, intake and exhaust manifold. Only with the manual though, the CVT starts to buckle above 300nm.

Yeah it’s impressive for sure!
The problem now is getting body and trim parts as there are not many around. I was thinking the other day driving mine on road works "If I get a stone through the windscreen would I even be able to get a windscreen?"

Yeah that’s a big problem with both nz roads and rare cars like these
What a superb car - not sure I'd want to be driving a Skoda Octavia instead though - far too boring

Yeah it was owned by Mercedes at the time this was produced
Wonder what's up with this one, mine has zero rattles, close to 200k km. I had a Clio 172 with half the km and rattles everywhere lol Such an underrated car
