12. Smart ForTwo
A fresh solution to the problem of urban transport when they first released, the Smart ForTwo is now in its second generation. It has an improved design and mechanics, but is it enough for demanding car customers? Not exactly – the Smart ForTwo is still the smallest real car people can buy. It is still kind of a fashion accessory you can park wherever you want. However, it is not the best way to move around.
The standards of the market have moved on since they released the first Smart car. Today, the new ForTwo fails to convince buyers it is the best city car they can own. The biggest problems are a harsh ride and slow acceleration, especially if you choose the EV model.
Simply, you cannot have a comfortable ride in a car this short. Smart tries to hide the fact with suspension modifications but still, they haven’t been able to improve the ride.
