Total wife out

My wife and I are downsizing and the new house has room for one car on the drive and one car in front. If this second car is not to block the first, it will have to be not much more than 7ft 6ins long. The Smart Fortwo comes to mind but I checked your car review web site and even this little car seems to be too big at 2,695mm (8' 10"). I wonder what else there is out there that I can squeeze in front of my little house. Can you help please?

I don't think there is anything shorter than the Smart ForTwo at 2,695mm.
The Toyota IQ is a bit longer at 2,985mm.
The Aixam Mega City is 2,897mm.
The Microcar M.GO is 3,026mm
