The SMART FORTWO (2007-13) 2DR CABRIOLET 1.0 MHD 71 PURE AUTO is a two-seat city car with a folding fabric roof, built for urban driving rather than family duties. Its compact size and automatic gearbox make parking and stop-start traffic easier, while the open-top layout gives it more character than many hatchbacks. It suits commuters, city residents and drivers wanting a second car, especially those who value easy parking and occasional fresh-air motoring. The 1.0-litre engine is modest, and the Fortwo’s two-seat cabin and limited luggage space rule it out for most families. Against rivals such as the Toyota Aygo, it stands apart with its rear-engine layout, tiny footprint and cabriolet roof. mycarcheck.com records 174 checks across 73 different VINs, a useful sample.
