My Truck Found A Toy To Play With.

My point exactly. Cage is still intact but how about your internal organs?


No thanx.

I'd like to see a head on collision with a F-150, Raptor, and Super Duty. I see a hell of a lot more of those on the road than C-Class Benz's.

Smart cars are retarded.

Next discussion plz

No I didn't. I don't think I'd fit.

I passed by it and swung around to snap a picture of it.


Don't those things only get about 28-30 mpg? At that rate spend the same amount of money and get something that will protect you in a crash.

It would fit in the back of the Raptor! If not you could always park on top of it.

Oh the typical smart hater. They are VERY safe cars. They have a solid one piece cage (black part on this car). They have some of the best side impact crash ratings. It has the same safety ratings as a Mercedes E class. And they average high 30s to mid 40s. I'm 6' and fit easily with room to spare.
Test drive it just to see what they are all about

The same physics that play to the Smart's advantage when it hits a stationary object (like in a typical crash test) are the ones that make it completely unsafe when its involved in an accident with another vehicle. I have one word for you. Mass.

I wouldn't put my kid in one of those.

As a city runabout though? why not? its (kinda) safe, very fuel efficient, cost efficient, perfect size for traffic/parking lots. Its not one you would have as your only car but as an addition I can't see why not

What kinda mpg do they get anyway? For a city envelope courier where it's bumper to bumper traffic, I can see it being great. But so would a fiesta, or any small car.

I don't see the point. Buy a slightly larger Ford Focus. Get the same mileage (on regular fuel), a back seat, and a trunk. Plus all the other features you can get in a real car. The Smart is a gimmick. And they sell miserably because they are a gimmick with no practicality or positive attributes.
