2. 2013 smart fortwo
Designed by a subsidiary of Daimler AG, the smart fortwo instantly captured the attention of car buyers and enthusiasts looking for a slim and compact car that can easily navigate tight roads and occupy a limited parking space. And with a starting price of just below $15,000, the introduction of this chic and compact vehicle was met with excitement and warm reception. But the excitement over this make and model soon died down due to less-than-ideal driving experience and the emergence of other cool and competent alternatives like Nissan Versa and Fiat 500. Drivers complained about the unrefined highway driving, unreliable transmission and tight interior.
