There is no rear seat. This is okay with me. But for someone looking for a family vehicle this could be a downside. I mostly see it as an excuse to not have to cart others around. see full smart fortwo review

Well there is no rear seat to start with. But this could have been a better designed flip down tray design for groceries and other items. see full smart fortwo review
