Second for the Fiero. But you'll have to lose a good bit of weight to push it around with the Smart drive train. Or hybridize it. In which case you might as well use a Prius drive train.
The notchbacks are about 2400lbs. The fastbacks/GTs are about 2700. The lightest I've seen a severely stripped out GT was right around the 2000lb mark. Assuming the diesel drivetrain weighs less than the stock Fiero, you could probably get a notchback down to 2000lbs and still have an interior. If you're lucky. That's still heavier than the Smart.
The original MR2s weighed about 2200lbs. Doubt you can make it much lighter than the Fiero, mind you. There's plenty of dead weight on a Fiero and I doubt there is on an MR2
I'd say stuff it in the back of a Geo Metro...but you'd have a bunch of body/metalwork to do. OTOH, a first gen Insight is already a 2-seater and has the IMA battery filling up space in the back...you'd still have body/metalwork to do, but it would be as light or lighter than a Metro, and you'd not really notice the interior space being taken up by the engine in the back.
