actually, there have been many many cases of crashes in smart cars in excess of 70 mph where not only were the passengers easily able to exit the car, but they were relatively unharmed. One crash, on the highway at 75 mph, into multiple trees and a road barrier, and involving significant airtime, left the arriving officer calling the morgue as soon as he saw what was left of the car. little did he know, the passenger already left the car without difficulty and was talking to witnesses, unharmed!

Loves Jay's open minded taste in cars.

@boarderofsnow13 You would be surprised to know that the Top 10 list for most dangerous vehicles in a collision is heavily populated by pickup trucks and SUVs. The smart fortwo is not on the list.

Piece of shit...

I am going off of the us model which was rated by the EPA to be about 37 mpg. The chevy cruze Eco was rated roughly the same but higher mpg on the highway. Ford fiesta is just 1-2 mpg lower than the smart car. Those are the numbers I was going off of. I don't doubt though that yours gets that high of milage though.

@boarderofsnow13

I live in the Uk and own the Cdi diesel model.

Remember a British gallon is slightly larger than a Us gallon at 4.5Litres and my car has returned a genuine 91MPG.

What other sedan here or in the States can do that sort of gas mileage?

[boarderofsnow13]

What happens when the semi behind you can't stop? Some sedans can get better gas milage and I would think those are safer. I personally drive a truck. Heck of a lot safer.

@curtis52285 I never said dodges have good handling.

[curtis52285]

@Enchurito I have never driven a Dodge that stops well or has good handling. I do by American but not Dodge.

[curtis52285]

I like the fiesta better. It gets almost the same mileage, seats 4, and it supports american jobs. It take a real man to drive a fun little car thank you Jay
