TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2010 Smart ForTwo is in its element on crowded city streets, but at speed or almost anywhere else, it can feel uncomfortably toylike.

Improved safety features make the 2010 Toyota Yaris an even more alluring package for those watching every penny in a new-car purchase.

TCC Likes

Parks absolutely anywhere
Very roomy seats, two of ‘em
Quick, responsive steering

Excellent fuel economy
Good ride (sedan)
Affordability

TCC Dislikes

Unimpressive fuel economy for its size
Borderline scary on the highway
Bouncy, busy, jittery ride

Gimmicky centrally mounted gauges
Doesn't handle especially well
Flat, small front seats
