The Tortoise and the Hare
When you think of cars most one first envisions speed and how fast you can get going. There are individuals who don’t care about speed and the excessive power that is hidden under the hood of their vehicle.
Below are 10 cars that we would consider the tortoise to the Hare.
10. Lexus CT 200h Premium

9. Fiat 500 Pop
While this small beauty is nice to look at, fashionable and is affordable, it does take a full 11 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH to hit full acceleration.

7. Smart ForTwo Passion
This European city car is the answer to the parking congestion that has plagued the congested cities for decades. The 11.2 seconds 0-60 MPH is far better than its first generation version, which to 14.6 seconds to get to 60 MPH.

3. Mitsubishi Mirage ES
The Mitsubishi Mirage ES is strong in fuel economy but very soft when it comes to acceleration and power. The get up and go the Mirage ES has lets this vehicle hit 60 MPH in a timely fashion of 12.1 Seconds.
2. Chevrolet Spark 1LT
You would expect the Chevy Spark 1LT to be inexpensive, full of feature and easy to navigate. The one thing you wouldn’t expect is this vehicle to be very fast with 85 HP under the hood. The Spark can go 0-60 MPH in 12.8 Seconds.
1. Mitsubishi i-MiEV SE
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV SE is one of the cheapest electric cars on the marks and at times you get what you pay for. With 66 HP, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV SE is pretty much a glorified golf cart and by taking 14.8 seconds to hit 60 MPH, you might be better off walking or running where you need to go.
