2011 Smart ForTwo Passion Coupe

However, you better be sure that you're OK with a slow two-seater that gets surprisingly low fuel mileage (33/41 mpg city/highway, per the EPA), rides like a buckboard, and costs about the same as several "real cars" with a back seat, namely the Nissan Versa, the Chevy Aveo, the Kia Rio, and the Hyundai Accent.
