Interior
The interior layout, fit and finish
The steering wheel and driver's seat in the Smart EQ Fortwo have height adjustment as standard, so you can find a decent driving position. It's not perfect, though, because of the hard, flat chair and the lack of reach adjustment for the wheel. You'll find the same in the Volkswagen e-Up and other small electric rivals.
You sit quite high up, giving you a good view forwards, but the thick rear pillars obstruct over-the-shoulder visibility, and it's worse in the Cabrio when the roof is up. That can be a problem when you're reversing or pulling out of junctions, although you do get rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera on all versions to help you out.
