Everyone has seen the Smart car; it looks like a little bug. The car that seems like it would be awesome, handle like a go-cart its small it can fit in small places part anywhere. But in the long term is it really a good car to drive around in the world?
The safety of this car looks good it has airbags and esp, which is more or less traction control in a slide or skid. But this car is not made to survive any crash. In a crash it's basically made to smoosh together just to save you...well most of you. I'd even say that this car is more dangerous then a motorcycle because, a motorcycle you can jump off or get thrown off, in a "Smart" car you are at the mercy of the what ever hit you. Smart Cars only get about 40 mpg anyway, to me its not worth worrying about getting hit every time I leave my drive way, for an extra 5,000$ I can get a car with a better crash test rating, and get mpg.
Some people like their Smart car and really enjoying it. The car is only as good as the person driving, and the people driving around you.
