In an age when cars are getting steadily bigger and bigger and bigger, the Smart is uncompromising. Or as uncompromising as it can be when customers keep demanding more metal for their money. Parked neatly in its little two-seater truncated niche, it is the only mainstream vehicle of its kind. It’s only near volume competitor, the clever and innovative three-seater Toyota iQ has melted away (a future classic, in my view). There was also the curious rear-engined Mitsubishi i. That too had a rear engine, an all-electric option, four doors and a top speed of 80mph. Even more cultish than a Smart, I guess.
