Everyone is different. And it is this difference that sets us apart from one another. These differences define the choices we make. It is due to this difference of opinion that new ideas emerge. For instance, some people think a luxury car is a style symbol whereas a small compact car is a classy choice for the rest. Since the inception of cars, some really amazing tiny cars were designed. Let’s breeze through the top 5 tiny cars that rule the world:
1. Peel P50
Do you know which is the smallest car ever made to have won the Guinness World Record? Yes, you guessed it right, it’s the Peel P50 and it is only 54 inches long and 41 inches wide. This three-wheeled micro car manufactured by the Peel Engineering Company is ideal for a single occupant.
2. Commuter Cars Tango
The Tango is an ultra-narrow electric sports car capable of accommodating two passengers. Originally designed and built by Commuter Cars, Tango has a unique sleek design and is thinner than some motorcycles as well. It needs only one-fourth of the parking space and about 3 hours to charge fully.
3. Iso Isetta
The Isetta, also known as the bubble car, is an Italian-designed micro car. The Isetta offers comfortable seating for two people. A unique thing about this car is that, it has a single door in the front for the occupants to enter and exit. In 1955, the BMW Isetta became the top-selling single-cylinder car in the world.
4. Pasquali Riscio
In Italy, you will find the Pasquali Riscio in abundance. This yellow electric cutie is so small and harmless that you can drive it legally on Italian roads without a license.
5. Fuldamobil
The Fuldamobil is a simple three-wheeled micro car with room for two people; it has two wheels in the front and is powered by a small engine at the rear. It was licensed for manufacturing to various countries where it was known by varying names, such as the Nobel, the Bambi, the Bambino, Fram King Fulda and so on. Interestingly, this wonder car is known by the name Hans Vahaar in India.
Now that you have read about these small wonders, a question that may come to your mind is:
Does the size of a car impact insurance rate?
Well, as far as car insurance is concerned, size does not matter. The only factors that will affect your insurance premiums are:
· The age and gender of the Insurance holder
· The price and make & model of the car
· The claims and driving history of the insurance holder
No matter what car you drive, for the safety of your fellow passengers and yourself of course, it is imperative to have a good car insurance policy that covers you against any losses that you may incur in the event of an accident.
