You're much better off with a high powered subaru, Mini, VW, or even Ford Focus ST if you want some fun city driving. Those cars will also allow you to go onto a major road/highway without fearing for your life.

I drive Smart Cars with Car2Go...yes it's occasionally fun to drive what is essentially a Go-Kart with a more protective bodykit. However, as a regular or daily driver it'd be a nightmare, and I'd never drive a sizeable distance in one.

OP, I think you're issue may be that your 2 vehicles are both American muscle type cars and kind of boats. Those are great if you want to drive on a straight highway fast. For making frequent turns, get a more rally orientated vehicle.

And no...the Mini and Smart Cars are nothing alike. A supercharged Mini is a lot of fun to drive.
