For city drivers, this is a peeve that gets the best of us. Here you are, minding your own business, gingerly pulling a yellow Cinquecento out from a snug parking space that had taken you hours to find in the first place when [SPOILER ALERT!] the world's largest leg of ham falls from the sky.
Through the decades, many European automakers have tried to solve city transportation, introducing clever solutions such as the original Volkswagen Beetle, Fiat 500, and Mini Cooper to navigate Europe's narrow city streets. While these names still exist today, the present-day offerings are only bloated caricatures of the past tools of urban mobility.
However, just because the successors have strayed from its original M.O. to become fashionable accessories, it doesn't mean that city cars are no longer necessary. Case in point, there are more than 8 million people now living in New York City. If anything, owning a micro-car makes more sense now than ever before.
The question is... which one?
