12. Smart EQ ForTwo
The car that was once sold as the Scion IQ for a short period is still floating around under another moniker. The Smart EQ ForTwo is a tiny little car that’s more suitable for the golf course then actual driving. If you thought the original Smart Car was small, then you haven’t seen anything yet. The Smart EQ ForTwo is a compact car that takes the word ‘compact’ to a whole new level. The problem with the little car aside from the fact that a strong wind will blow it away is its lack of features and power. The tiny lightweight design means that the car is anemic to drive and noisy on the freeway.
The interior hasn’t changed much since the Scion days. It’s still full of cheaply-made plastic and cloth seats, and even seating two people in this car is cramped at best. You can get a car that’s similar in size from Mini and still get a lot of standard features. The EQ ForTwo is beyond bare-bones transportation. The 2020 model year has done nothing to add anything new to the mix aside from a different grill. If saving on fuel economy is your goal, there are better choices then the Smart EQ ForTwo.

Although the Smart EQ ForTwo is available in a hardtop and a convertible version, the car is just too basic. For the price tag, various options offer far more to choose from. Sure, the Smart EQ ForTwo might get exceptional gas mileage but you are giving up a lot of comforts. If you want a car that will save you a ton on gas and still give you comfort, the Smart EQ ForTwo is not going to be it.
