The SMART FORTWO (2012-15) 2DR CABRIOLET 1.0 84 EU5 PULSE SOFTOUCH AUTO5 is a tiny, two-seat city car with a folding fabric roof and automated five-speed transmission. Its short length makes it especially easy to park and manoeuvre in busy UK streets, while the Cabriolet adds open-air appeal. It sits apart from ordinary small hatchbacks by putting compact size and personality ahead of carrying capacity. mycarcheck.com has recorded 14 checks covering 11 different VINs, so this is a limited snapshot rather than a broad reliability study. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £3,800, recorded mileage of 34,000 miles and annual mileage of 3,000 miles; cars had about two previous keepers on average. This Fortwo suits solo drivers, couples and commuters wanting a simple, distinctive runabout, not families needing rear seats or much luggage space. Against rivals such as the Fiat 500C, its exceptionally compact footprint is the standout.
