I am just wondering is there any owners of Smart For Four over here?

Please stand up!

Or perhaps, anyone can shed some light on this car?

I 've read the review saying that the fuel comsumption is only 5.9 litre for 100km.

And for the 1.5cc, 0-100kmph takes only 9.8secs. Engine is similar to Mitsubishi Colt, producing 109bhp@4000rpm.

Yes, I am getting one. biggrin.gif

And yes to e30, there is a stock clearance going on...the price for Smart ForTwo is going for appx RM64k and Smart ForFour for appx. RM76k. Both w/o insurance. Before this, it is selling for appx RM110k and RM120k, for ForTwo and ForFour respectively.

I think there are limited color selection at the moment because of the stock clearance.

And for RM80k, with insurance, it not possible to find any cars with electronic stability control, disc brake for all wheels, ABS and on board computer.

What do you think?

yeah, they've stopped the production of the car already.

I would mine a new old car la, beggers can't be choosers. And for the price I am paying I think it is value for money. Vios, City, Swift, and Jazz, which within the compact range do not have the features that comes with this car.

Well, as for safety, the car is protected by Tridion frame, or the chasis frame. The four disc brake system is fitted with ABS, anti skip control, stability control and of course, air bag.

currently, the warranty is for 2 year with unlimited mileage.

As for Smart ForFour, the maintenance is only once every 20,000 km, roughly, 12 months once which cost appx. RM550.

The parts may be slightly more expensive if it is source from Cycel & Carriage, because it is a SMART ma.

However, I think it can also use mitsubishi part, as it shared the same engine with mitsubishi colt. biggrin.gif

Also, another economical factor is the fuel comsumption, which is appx. 6 litres for 100km. biggrin.gif

that's pretty pricey, new 1.3 goes for RM62k w/o insurance, from C&C or Si Khiong.

I think for color options, best is to call Si Khiong Star. But the catch is, the price is a bit more than C&C.

I am buying the 1.5, silver tridion with black panels. I think that's how you call it kua..

e30...this nick of yours, referencing bimmer engine? biggrin.gif

hhmmm... you have a point there, tester1979.

Let me do some digging, and I will let you know. smile.gif


But regardless, at 20k km interval it is really cheap. My current car interval is 5k, normal oil, and it cost me roughly close to RM200 each time.

64k is for smart for four 1.3, without insurance and smart for four 1.5, the price tag is 76k without insurance.

Yes, teo, it is available at all C&C, but I think is hard to get it now. Alternatively, Si Khiong Star also have the same models, but the prices is slightly higher.

oh, this a preview i came across;
