Europe has the 4 seater Smart Forfour and Smart Roadster. Smart is a company owned by Mercedes. Mercedes makes unreliable cars that are expensive to maintain and fix and use premium gas. The Smart Fortwo is also unreliable, expensive to maintain and uses premium gas. It is also the slowest car in America. This car is also 10 years old. The Smart Fortwo came out in 1998 in Europe.
