Famously Unsafe: Smart ForTwo - HQ Cars Wallpapers

Yes, the Smart ForTwo is fuel efficient but that's just one side of the coin. In terms of safety, particularly for the driver, it's clearly not the best choice out there. This is kind of an odd one. The Smart ForTwo consistently rates pretty high in crash tests. The "Tridion safety cell" which protects the passenger compartment really is quite strong, and testing shows very little cabin intrusion during accidents in most cases. But even though the Smart is an improvement of about a thousand times over the old Isetta, real-world injury statistics are much higher than crash tests would suggest, highlighting the shortcomings of crash testing in general.
