2010 smart fortwo Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...In side impacts, the Smart was awarded a perfect five out of five stars.

Interior Design and Special Features: You'd think the Smart would be a cramped tin can better suited to sardines than humans, but you'd be wrong. It's a tad narrow, but there's abundant headroom and ample legroom even for those taller than 6 feet. The passenger seat provides an extra 6 inches of sprawl space and it also folds flat for added cargo space. The trunk offers 12 cubic feet of... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Toyota Yaris-the most fuel-efficient small hatchback, with ratings of 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway-feels downright substantial next to the 2010 Smart ForTwo, offering a real backseat and the ability to do distance driving without terrifying driver and passenger.
The pricier but supremely flexible Honda Fit offers a breathtaking array of interior setups that let owners haul any mix of four people and their gear.
If it's the lowest cost you're seeking, the four-seat, five-door Nissan Versa offers a model that's more than $2,000 cheaper than the ForTwo.
Further along the style axis, the sprightly MINI Cooper is far more fun to drive at speed and just as good on gas, at 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway.
Finally, hybrids like the new Toyota Prius and even the Honda Civic Hybrid compact sedan offer full seating for four or five and far better fuel economy, albeit at a higher price.
