8. Smart ForTwo

MSRP : $14,020
EPA Mileage 35/40 ( CTY / HWY)

The Smart ForTwo was built specifically for city driving, and that’s where it should stay. Driving it on the highway can be a harrowing experience. With a rear mounted 89 horsepower turbocharged three cylinder engine, the Smart ForTwo isn’t going anywhere quickly, but for an around town vehicle it’s efficient. Trunk space is limited, but there is plenty of room for the driver and passenger. The handling of the Smart ForTwo is anything but sporty, as it’s suspension isn’t built for any kind of stress. The small size of the Smart ForTwo makes parking in tight spots no problem, which is a bonus for city drivers. With a price tag of $14,020 and a EPA rated fuel mileage of 35 city and 40 highway, the Smart ForTwo is a great car for any student.
