Top five shortest cars to park

SMART FORTWO Length: 2695mm

6

Soon-to-be-discontinued two-seater is known for its smallness. At upwards of $20K, though, it’s difficult to justify against Polos and Mazda 2s.

MORGAN 3 WHEELER Length: 3260mm

6

It’s no surprise that a car missing so much of what other cars get (like a fourth wheel) is also shorter than most things on the road.

CATERHAM SEVEN Length: 3360mm

6

It’s all about simplicity with the track-focused Caterham range, with the shorty of the family being the CSR 175.

FIAT 500 Length: 3546mm

6

It’s small compared with other city cars, but the modern Cinquecento is more than half a metre longer than the 1957 original.

HOLDEN BARINA SPARK Length: 3595mm

6

Cheapest Holden and the shortest five-door on the market, though that may change when an all-new model arrives here next year.
