smart fortwo
This two-seat mini-car with the synthetic body has its share of diehards and detractors. In any case, this city car is fuel efficient, can be parked in the smallest of spaces and circulates easily in traffic. An electric version has a range that’s sufficient for a day of shopping downtown. The version with the combustion engine is powered by a 1.0L 70-hp three-cylinder linked with a five-speed manumatic gearbox.
