The SMART CITY (2000-04) 2DR COUPE 0.6 SMART & PASSION AUTO LHD is a tiny, two-seat city car, rather than a conventional family hatchback. Its short body and automatic gearbox make it well suited to tight streets, parking and short urban trips. The left-hand-drive layout is unusual in the UK, so buyers should check that it suits their everyday use. mycarcheck.com has recorded 113 look-ups across 49 different VINs, a useful sample for this distinctive older model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £500 and average recorded mileage of 65,000 miles; average annual use is just 1,000 miles. The typical example has had about five previous keepers, suggesting varied ownership histories. Compared with rivals, the Smart is compact and characterful, but its two-seat cabin limits luggage space. It suits solo commuters, couples or as a second car. Its cheeky design and city manoeuvrability are its main appeal for buyers.
