TCC’s Bottom Line

If you're willing to go small, the 2014 Fiat 500 is one of the most stylish ways to do it—and the Abarth and Turbo add just the right 'edge' to the personality.

The 2014 Smart ForTwo is now an old design, but it remains the easiest car to park in cities, and it's at its best in urban traffic; the electric model, new last year, is the nicest of the bunch, and now remarkably cheap.

TCC Likes

Fantastic interior styling
An exterior like no other mini
Rev-happy engines

Unbeatable ease of parking
Remarkable interior space for two
Agile in urban driving

TCC Dislikes

Very small interior
Short, high seats limit comfort and headroom
It's not as quick as you might hope

Transmission jerks and piches
Noisy, jittery ride on freeways
Almost no passing power at speed
