COMPARISON TEST 23/2007

Sweet rascal

Finally there the Fiat 500 is. What knows the sweet small one better than its three competitors Smart Fortwo, mini One and Renault Twingo?

Conclusion:
A difficult struggle. And not once, because there would be no clear winner: The Mini is clearly before the competition from France, Italy and Germany. The tricky thing when passions come into play. These cars that arouse emotions. Vornweg the new Fiat 500, which now has a public favorite apply.
But of course, is also the mini-municipality not loose. And the smart community will not partout, bizarre two-man concept. Even now very rational Twingo still has a lot of kick. The best would be, yes, you could simply all.

The 500 makes the mini looked dated and boring.

It seems the MINI is really hard to beat, its almost 5 years old and still has the looks. Hopefully there will be a version of the 500 that can match the Cooper S...

?????

Mk2 MINI (by BMW) was launched exactly a year ago - in November 2006.

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!
