Worst Car to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse – Smart fortwo

While the Smart fortwo is a great car for that city commute and gets great gas mileage, you still can’t shake the feeling that this car was expelled from the exhaust pipe of some H2. Not to mention having trim names like Pure and Passion makes you think more of a fruit juice mix than a vehicle in which one would battle zombies in.

With its appearance resembling a golf cart, the fortwo’s 1.0-L, three cylinder engine only puts out 70-hp reminding you of a golf cart as well. You’d be lucky to escape any zombie, much less run one over, with a pedestrian 0-60 mph time of 14.6 seconds. Weighing only 1808-lbs makes it an easy target for zombie hordes to push around. Combine that with its already grim 22% rollover rate, one can easily picture zombies knocking this car over and cracking it open like a peanut shell, with you being the tasty treat inside. Smart fortwo’s 7.8 cubic feet of storage space is barely large enough to hold your trophy for bravest man in the world which, “coincidentally”, you won for driving this thing in a zombie apocalypse.

On the plus side, if a miracle happens and you survive in this car, you can rest easy knowing that with 33/41mpg you can roll around in a very fuel efficient manner. When you wake up from that dream and face reality, driving the fortwo is pretty much the equivalent of covering yourself in melted butter and running down the streets yelling, “Eat me!”
