Small Cars Comeback – Better And Faster Than Before

If you look at fashion, technology and lifestyle, what is there today is basically an improvement of what was there a while ago. There are cars that were popular a few decades ago and then disappeared from the scene. Today, most drivers in urban settings prefer compact and small cars that they can park easily and which do not consume a lot of fuel. This is the reason behind the re-emergence of small vehicles. The only difference is that these cars are coming back more beautiful, faster and more fuel efficient.

Let us look at a few of these past small cars that have comeback to take over the streets.

Mini Cooper

These were small cars which were manufactured by the British Motor Corporation from 1961 to 1971 when they were discontinued then restarted in 1990 to 2000. The mini cooper reappeared as the mini marque produced by BMW since year 2000. There are different models with the mini cooper title but have some things in common. The minis now have a beautiful smooth exterior which takes a modern appearance. Most of these models are fast and fuel efficient at the same time.
