Which small cars are similar in size to the Smart Car?

I have owned a Smart car for 10 years and am considering replacing it. The new car has to fit into a short parking space. Do I have to consider electric vehicles or are there 'short' petrol cars available?

The Toyota IQ isn't much longer and is a four seater (at a pinch): www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-iq-r.../

Handles better than original LHD version. Funky looks, perky enough in town and low running costs.
Triumph of 4-seater packaging that still earned 5 NCAP stars. Most models 99g/km so VED free. Better to drive than a Smart or a Fiat 500.
