Smart Forfour
Smart’s Forfour is a quirky four-seater that’s always felt like the oddball in a segment already packed with small-car options. You’re looking at a city hatchback built for tight Jo’burg parking bays and quick runs to the shops, but there’s only one currently up for grabs at R159,500. That’s not exactly a stampede of demand. With just a single 2018 Forfour Passion A/T on the market, showing a hefty 129,152 km, it’s clear this isn’t your Polo Vivo or Picanto, which you’ll spot on every corner and at every second dealership. The Forfour is, in truth, a Renault Twingo with a different badge—interesting on paper at least, but never a big seller here, and that matters if you’re worried about finding spares or a mechanic who’s seen one before. Anyone even half-interested in this high-mileage outlier will need to dig deep into its service records, because parts and expertise are thin on the ground. The Picanto, by contrast, offers broader dealer support and a much fatter used-car pool, so you’re not forced to take what’s on offer. Still, the Forfour does pull ahead for urbanites who care about a super-tight turning circle and genuinely tiny footprint, but you’ll have to pack smart and accept that used choices are non-existent. If variety or peace of mind is your priority, you’ll likely walk away disappointed. For those who want something left-field, though, this Smart’s scarcity is both its curse and its calling card.
Smart
Smart’s presence in South Africa barely flickers these days—one model, one price, and that’s the point. R159,500 buys you the only option on the table, underscoring how this brand never aimed at the Polo or Corolla crowd. Smart always chased the city dweller who wanted something quirky and European, not just another hatch. These weren’t cars for everyone; they were for buyers who cared about squeezing into tight Braamfontein parking garages and making a style statement on the school run. Right now, the entire local Smart market is defined by a single car, so what you see is exactly what you get—no hidden gems or forgotten variants. The lone listing is a Forfour, the slightly roomier sibling that tried to broaden Smart’s appeal beyond the original two-seat Fortwo. R159,500 isn’t outrageous on paper at least, but running one is another story. Mercedes-Benz has moved Smart into full-EV territory globally, leaving local petrol examples frozen in time with a shrinking support network. Mini buyers might grumble about servicing, but at least there’s a dealer in every major city—Smart drivers are down to grey imports and WhatsApp groups for spares. If you pack smart and find a low-mileage car, the running costs can be gentle, but hunting down parts between Joburg and Cape Town takes real patience. That matters, because what you’re buying isn’t just a quirky runabout but a long-term relationship with an orphan badge.
