The Morgan Plus 8

It is said that the Plus 8 saved Morgan, the British car manufacturer. However, that doesn’t mean the Morgan Plus 8 had no quirks. In the United States, the car was specifically made to run on propane in order to pass emissions tests during that time. This means there were tanks of liquid propane hanging perilously behind these bouncy cars’ rear bumpers. If you are more concerned about the results of getting the car to run on propane rather than traditional fuel, let’s just say that 60 miles per hour felt like 30 miles per hour in this roadster.

The Smart Fortwo

We all know parking is limited in big cities, so Smart Cars are very popular. Not only can they fit just about anywhere, they also have amazing fuel efficiency. However, that doesn’t mean these cars are comfortable and a good case in point is the Smart Fortwo. Its engine is located in the back and the cooling system is in front, so cooking your passengers on a hot summer day is a big possibility. The cooling and heating problem was too much for the casual consumer, so sales plummeted and the brand almost got bankrupt.
