So You Wanted a Smart Car

Below is a photo of a wreck in Jefferson Parish, LA (near New Orleans ) between two trucks and a Smart Car. Think I�ll pass on the Smart Car.

Dude, any fucking car would be completely screwed in that kind of situation. I didn't believe it, but SmartCars perform far better than most cars in your "average" accident. Head-on collisions and side collisions are top-notch. Here's proof:

Not perfect, but not the plastic toy car that it's made out to be.

well it can't be worse than a saturn. that shit just flies apart like glass.

i got into an accident with a friend driving one a couple of years back. the other car side-swiped us on the passenger side, where i was sitting, and completely obliterated the door/front-quarter panel.

i'm not talking about a dent, or a crack, this shit flew apart like a firework and i had to get out from the driver's side. but it was just a gentle side-swipe. barely nicked us.

That pic must not have been taken in Amsterdam. All smart cars have been tossed by drunks in the water.

please shut the fuck up... that's true only if only smart cars were found on the roads.

See what happens when a smart car hits a car slightly larger

imagine if it's an SUV or an F650.

did... did you watch the video? the guy says its a failure compared to larger cars.

Smart cars are for fat people, and people who like to smell their own farts. If you are going to be that cheap, just man up and buy a ducati 990.

Like I said, it's not perfect, but it scored well on its tests. That side collision impact was done with a huge barrier, simulating an SUV. The Airbag did an excellent job of deploying and protecting the driver, and the head on collision had the car totally rebound from the barrier, with the damage not so bad.

I had an argument with Ben (gehustmasomething) not too long ago about the safety of the Smartcar and he had some better videos/links. Is it safer than a Hummer? No. Is it safer than any other vehicle that size? Probably.

i doubt that

ITT: angry fatties who can't fit in a SMART.

Seriously, if a smart hits a mid to full size, it loses.

If a mid to full size hits a huge pickup, it loses.

If a pickup hits a hummer, it loses.

If a hummer hits a big rig, it loses.

If a big rig hits a Caterpillar 797, it loses.

QED, we should all drive Caterpillar 797s, lest we all die in a terrible accident.
