Smart Car Crash Test

lukep77 · #1 01-18-2006, 02:07 AM

I have to say that regardless of all the saftey features and all the money I would save on gas I will take my full size sedan over that coffin on wheels. The smallest thing I will drive would be my gf convertable and that is a fair sized car. I work around tractor trailers and Ive seen some compacts after hitting a semi and the semi allways wins. But I would love to see a tractor hit a smart car, but hopefully not with some one in the smart car.

just my 2 cents worth.

Well no matter what I'm sticking with my full size GMC 3/4 ton PU. If I went into the ditch in one of those things up here they wouldn't find me until spring. With the traffic up here my vehicle is probably considered a sub compact.

I wouldn't feel safe using one as a highway vehicle either, but that's not what they were designed for anyway. As an economical, inner-city commuter I think they are a great alternative.

wouldn't you concider a single pourpose car a waist of money for the average person? I think the smart car is a nich product myself as most people need a dual purpose car (ie highwat/city/more than 2 people) I personaly bought a motorbike for comuting and for the 75 miles a gal it gets me it is money way beter spent than a smart car.

One of those smart cars would be great for me!!!

I could put it on the back of my Supercrew and use it to go get gas when I run out.

Yes........ This would be a great gas can for me.

Seen lots of them while traveling around Europe last summer and realy don't like them at all.

Edit:

I hope they are available in a gas can red color
