Parking is an issue and I rarely use more than two seats so I'm looking to downgrade. The car will have 10-20 short trips (1-5 miles) a week, will rarely see 40+ mph
First two cars to come to mind (with say a sub 5k USD budget) are the Fit and Smart Fortwo (2009-2012)
Fit: can seat 4-5 people or two and a bunch of cargo area. Honda reliability and available in a manual gearbox
Smart: can park just about anywhere, less expensive, RR-layout
??? the other small cars I've come across are less space efficient and more expense then the Fit, but I've haven't look into all of then
Is the Smart anything like a Benz (or any other used German car)? Expensive upkeep/parts/labor/failing electro-gizmos?
Thoughts, suggestions, Smart jokes
