mileage per number of doors is quite bad for a Smart....

Try mileage per number of seats.
Oh, delicious irony.

If anything, one should buy a Peugeot 107, that is the car with the best actual milage i know of! (or Citroen C1 / Toyota Aygo)

the C1 diesel is not available in Holland. The emission figures I saw for the car (in the UK) correspond to 109 g CO2/km, while the C3 does only 95 g/km.

I was talking about the petrol car ;).
My dad uses one for mixed driving (mostly city), and does 23km/L.
And this is only a 10km trip everyday ;)
These are the ten diesel cars with lowest fuel consumption on sale today in Spain (I guess it's pretty much the same all over Europe):
[quote=km77.com]1. smart fortwo cdi: 3,3 l/100 km y 86 gr/km de CO2.
2. SEAT Ibiza 1.2 TDI Ecomotive: 3,4 l/100 km y 89 gr/km de CO2.
3. Volkswagen 1.2 TDI Polo Bluemotion: 3,4 l/100 km y 89 gr/km de CO2.
4. Opel Corsa ecoFLEX 95 CV: 3,5 l/100 km y 94 gr/km de CO2.
5. Renault Twingo dCi 75: 3,6 l/100 km y 94 gr/km de CO2.

8. Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion: 3,8 l/100 km y 99 gr/km de CO2.

Those numbers make the new 2's figures all the more exciting.

C3 EHdi not available there?

well, where I live, diesel is 30 cents per liter cheaper than petrol....apart from that, CO2 figure for the 1.0 version here is 103 g/km, so also on that front the C3 seems to be a tat better.

List is about three months old, I guess that explains it.

Doesn't Peugeot have a similar 207 model!?
I think they both sold a 207/C3/DS3 99g, from late 2010 to early 2011 but was discontinued and I don't think it was much publicised.
Not the eHDi has taken over.
the Ford , Audi & VW in that list are all 1600's
getting a 400cc cylinder to run that cheaply is simply fantastic. they all have a bit of torque too if you need legal speed overtaking - its not like they are devoid of power to get their economy

The VW Polo is a 1200 three cylinder....The Ford engine is the same as in our C3. Strangely, the Audi version that we are getting delivers 105 BHP and produces 102 gr/km.
