Check out what I was able to do with our 2008 Smart Fortwo during the weekend of my big move. Fortunately I also had use of a rented U-Haul and a Dodge Ram pickup to move a one-bedroom apartment's worth of stuff but the Smart was good enough to tote four of my moving boxes at least, as well as serve as the go-fetch car when I just wanted to pick up food for my hungry friends who helped me move.
And since it helped a bit, I feel I have to say one more good thing about it. I like that it has bun warmers. Not something I'd normally expect of an "econocar" with cloth seats.

I like this car. Its a shame the transmission is so bad. When that issue is changed, I could definitely live with this vehicle in my current lifestyle.

those bun warmers are the uninsulated exhaust parts running underneath your seat

Heated seats are fast becoming a "must have" item. Just like power windows and doors locks have become a "must have" for any car. In a few years seat warmers will be too.

Europe adopted heated seats as a commonly available feature many years ago, so that's probably why the Smart has them. Back in 1991 you could get heated seats on your Ford Granada with cloth seats.

I like your priorities, ditching the "clothes" in exchange for the "barware." I guess you need to make these types of decisions when driving a Smart.
