The only cars from this list that arouse emotions in me is the MINI and the Fiat 500. The Renault Twingo and especially the Smart don't do anything for me.

Maybe it's also an owner thing. I know that here Twingo and Smart owners love their cars. I drove the old Renault Twingo once during an internship for a marketing company and I thought it was the biggest POS on the road at that time. Nothing about it felt emotional, fun or pleasing. Nothing. Hated driving that thing.

I'm sure the new Twingo and Smart are better, but still, they don't do anything for me (until I perhaps drive them). The MINI and Fiat 500 are more cult than the other two, so you don't have to drive them to feel emotional about them!
