2014 Spark EV. Stupid small, but also stupidly overbuilt. 400 lb-ft of torque, can produce wheel spin on demand at just about any speed, and the suspension is tuned absolutely perfectly (best rude quality I've felt in a non-luxury vehicle). If you can deal with the limited range, and don't need tons of space, this is the one.

I would have one myself, but with my family the Soul EV was the saner purchase. Just not quite as fun.

I had a 2016 Spark EV before I upgraded to a Bolt. The only reason I upgraded was for the range, the Spark is otherwise an excellent car and super fun to drive.
