Love it or hate it, the smallest Smart has certainly revolutionised the way we perceive small cars. Cheeky, nippy and beautifully detailed, the Smart asks you in no uncertain terms to recall the last time you used your back seats. If you had to think about that for a moment and live in the city, then there isn't a more stylish or impudent way to get about. Manufactured under the auspices of Mercedes-Benz and winner of numerous design awards, the Smart is also surprisingly good fun to drive. Anybody who writes it off as a stylistic gimmick should consider that amongst its owners are Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1, and one Stirling Moss; luminaries who probably know a good car when they see one. As a used buy is this where the smart money goes? Here's the information you'll need to come to the right decision.

About the Smart City Coupe & Fortwo Coupe

You'll be stared at. Some disbelievers will even struggle to suppress a snigger, especially when overtaken on the motorway by a Smart. If you tread carefully and take a look at a few before you buy, purchasing a used Smart can be the best way possible to have the last laugh. It makes a Fiat Seicento, Ford Ka or SEAT Arosa seem so twentieth century.
