2025 Smart #5 Brabus | PH Review
The new 646hp super-SUV is a far cry from Smarts of old, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
By Nic Cackett, Wednesday, 29 October 2025
A discussion about parking a Smart Fortwo perpendicular to the pavement in roadside bays was highly polarising. Owners claimed it was their right, while local councils said it broke parking rules.
Parking bays haven’t grown in size since then, but Smart cars have. The new Smart #5 measures 4.7 metres in length, making it 430mm longer than the #1 and almost twice the length of the original Fortwo.
They say social media is making political discourse more polarised, but has there been a more polarising discussion than the one about parking a Smart Fortwo perpendicular to the pavement in roadside bays?
