Looks like that review was a bit skewed Fireflower...

Rear leg room is less than with the seats pushed back but in that case boot space is increased not decreased! and with seats forward in 454 there is much more space in W453!
Multispace seats std in UK
Headlights - LED a pack option obv not on test car though

Why on earth didn't they designate the 'new' ForFour as the 455 !
Ok, so it shares a 'similar' floorpan and the same basic mechanicals
as the ForTwo, but talk about confusing things....scheesh !

Fortwo - 450, 451, (452 taken by roadie), 453
Forfour - 454, 455

All makes sense to me - haha!!

I understand that.....but in most cases you'll be asked
when it goes for a service or for parts etc etc.....
"Is it a ForTwo or a ForFour ?"  And as soon as you say it's a
ForTwo (as most people do) they'll either ask if it's a 450 or a 451,
or what year. If you say it's a W453 or a C453 anywhere but at
MB/Smart then you'll be met with a blank look and/or..
"What's one of them ?"

Ha...why not complicate it even more..... 
a C453B or a W453B (B=Brabus), or perhaps C453A or W453A (A=Allroad),
even a W453E (E=Estate), and C453C & W453C (Crossblade or Convertible),
and finally....a W453LWB taxi.

go to mercedes parts and tell them you want parts for a forfour and they will then ask for the reg number... you over thinking things, me thinks 'G'

[lil.smartie]

Yeah... all done on vin number! But no different to a merc owner owning a 211 as opposed to a E350...
