The chevy aveo is a real death box..The smart is far far above an aveo.

Honestly, I am impressed with how well it held up for its size, but I would still never own one. Ugly little things, and at 40 mpg, my motorcycle is faster and gets better mileage. The biggest problem I have is that the U.S Government is trying to legislate us into driving these. Oh, and the offset frontal impact for these at 40 mph is horrendous. The smart cars were destroyed. IIHS gave them a poor rating on it.

The cage remained intact. Seems much better than most cars.

Title FAIL!

@willardopheus Any car in a crash at 70MPH would not do well, and if you watch the full video, it shows that the occupants would not have been crushed.
A lady in the US was T-Boned by an F250 going 80MPH and did 22 rollovers in 26 second and got out of the car with a broken femur. Still alive. If you were in any other car, you would most likely be dead instantly.

Video title is completely misleading.
I saw the full show this test is from. It was by Fifth Gear in the UK. That was a SEVENTY mile per hour crash into a concrete barrier, and the car performed very well, the door opened, the cabin wasn't badly deformed.
They also crashed a larger car into the same barrier at the same speed, and it didn't do so well :)

What he fails to mention in this video is that this test was done on top gear in the uk and after the crash the doors still open. I don't own a smart car but you can't deny that it faired better than most small cars would
70 mph and both doors still worked and the windshield didn't break. You didn't show the rest of the video. Of COURSE the occupants would probably die, but they'd die in just about any small or mid-sized car. You're all about nothing, and it's sad you wasted your time proving nothing. Get a fucking life... or a job at Fox News where you can hone your sad craft.
