The Columbus Dispatch : Car Talk: Smart cars pretty stupid for highway driving but otherwise aren't bad

What?? No Pictures?? Gosh I hate Articles w/o Pictures. I prefer Pictures w/o Articles.

Smart Car does highway-speed triple roll. Driver unscathed, seeks orphan

Smart fortwo safety crash car accident


They did pass the crash tests.
If I owned one I would stay off the highway for fear of being blown around or even run over.

Anyone remember the AMC Pacer and how safe it was?? These made nice Fishbowls!!
How about the Automatic version of the Ford Pinto?? The one that explodes when primed from behind??

Smart car, what a laugh!!
Does this DEATH TRAP float??
When someone gets crushed in one then one can be buried within it as it'll be cheaper to just toss the mess in a hole.
Wrap it up in cellophane and cover it with dirt.

I thought Honda cvcc was a bad idea in the 70s with 12" tyres, or the MG Midget, but this junk is worse.

Might be a bit off topic but we are talking about small cars and safety.
Both being Smart Cars and Dumb Cars.
