I've owned each, and I'd have to say the 500 hits the sweet spot in terms of price, performance, and useability. The MINI is a bit pricey for what it does, and as much as I liked the Fortwo that transmission holds it back too much.
For less crowded areas, I still feel the 3-series rules the roost.

Smart car: No car has ever been more inappropriately named.
