Two things that surprised us about the diminutive Smart Car: One, it gets relatively crappy mileage--33 m.p.g. city--and two, that it did fairly well in crash tests, as you can see in the IIHS footage below.
The crazy cats over at Fifth Gear conducted their own test, sending the Smart slamming into a concrete barrier at 70 m.p.h.
While seeking out the Smart's crash test footage, we also stumbled across some Russian footage of a crash test of a passenger train. And man, there is definitely a part of this train that you don't want to be sitting in!

33 mpg for the Smart?? Rubbish, I get up to 60mpg in mine.
I'm impressed by the huge bias the first video had against small cars.
it's propaganda like that which keeps the terror-frightened driving their hummers.
