TOP Shortest cars P

1SMART FORTWO

2695mm 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.

2CATERHAM 3 WHEELER

3260mm 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.

3CATERHAM SEVEN

3360mm It’s all about simplicity with the track-focused Caterham range, with the shorty of the family being the CSR 175.

4FIAT 500

3546mm 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

3595mm Cheapest Holden and the shortest five-door on the market, though that may change when an all-new model arrives here next year.
