If you live where parking spots are considered coveted territory, the Smart Fortwo’s minute dimensions will certainly come in handy. The cabin is surprisingly roomy for two people and the tiny turning radius makes it easy to get in and out of tight spots, as well as maneuver through congested streets.
If you need room for more than one, prefer a car with verifiable crash-test results or need an electric vehicle that doesn’t need to recharge after just 58 miles, a Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt or Volkswagen e-Golf makes a better choice.
