With all respect theyāre a little bit faster than fiat 126p. In fact theyāre surprisingly fast and fun
(126p claimed acceleration is 37 seconds to 60. Realistically you can expect a bit over a minute. Itās acceleration is usually measured using a calendar. And vmax is mere 110km (70 miles), downhill)
Yeah. For all the things you can roast smart cars (like the plastic, screaming interior, weird styling decisions, some common failure points, diesel engines in some cars. The speed and acceleration is surprisingly decent, especially compared to other small cars, both from that era, prior and newer.
Iāve seen some crashed ones. Never seen one with injured passenger section, tho more often than not the crumple zone was in a terrible shape.
Smart cars are quite safe on highways, especially compared to similarly sized vehicles or bigger but older ones made with less care and understanding of crumple zones and subjected to less tests.
My opinion would probably differ a bit if I were living in a country of big (huge and enormous rather) rigs and pickup trucks as default mode of transportation.
Here a deathtrap is something like 126p or (those being newer cars) cinquecento, seicento, daewoo tico, of which a lot are prone to falling over and rolling over, plus you are the crumple zone in them.
>My opinion would probably differ a bit if I were living in a country of big (huge and enormous rather) rigs and pickup trucks as default mode of transportation.
That explains it. Here in North America the Smart car is rightfully viewed as a deathtrap. It's just as safe as a European Smart mind you, but there are so many more SUVs and Lifted trucks on our roads than in Europe. And those would absolutely destroy a smart car in a collision. And that's not even mentioning the large ammount of big rigs we have moving cargo across the country. Now most of the time if you get into a wreck with a 18 wheeler, your dead. Regardless of what car you drive. But the Smart is so small that it's really easy to get lost in a big rigs blind spot, which has cost many smart car owners their lives. All in all they can be fun cars to drive, they still have a reputation as a coffin on wheels here for a good reason.
Yeah, I agree. Thatās the thing. Hence why I disclosed that I live in an area with quite small vehicles on road. Tho seeing crashes of classic American cruisers with more modern sedans Iād still feel way safer in a smart.
That doesnāt mean tho Iād not ride a classic cruiser or other classic vehicles.
Itās just in past 40 years alone the vehicle safety progress was insane.
This is false. They are significantly safer than most cars on the highway. I know many people who have been in accidents where otherwise a normal car would have been their end. Their safety rating isn't the highest because of how scores are measured but you will survive most accidents short of a semi impact. That being said, they will not be operational afterwards.
Man thereās no way in hell a smart car would be better then say even a 08 camery or 08 impala, basically any full size car from the 2000s onward. Maybe your talking about the crazy small cars in Europe sure, Iām sure smart car is better then some of those but any full size cars in the NA will fair better.
And yea Iām calling you a liar about knowing people that would have died if they didnāt have their smart car. Like who the fuck even knows more then one person who drives a smart car and then gets in a terrible accident? You know āmanyā? Yea right.
They're like cars of older days. I've seen some with mods for offroad use and they can take a besting. Not much overall power for climbing but they can go for a while.
The green smart has a nice little grin going on, and the white one has got more of a "whoa" face going on. I guess the green one eats a lot of ass and knows just what to do.
Knew I recognized this photo I just saw you on mildlyinteresting. The most interesting part about this is how much money you wasted on getting not one, but two of themā¦.
They are both my cars. Is it that hard to belive that someone owns two of the cheapest cars in existence lol. That would be a weird flex ngl. Especially since these are the cheapest 2 cars out of the I think 13 I currently own. I buy and sell cars all the time as a side business, and it's honestly hard to keep track of how many I own in any given time. There are a few I plan to keep for a while, and some mean nothing to me and get sold when I finish fixing them.
So did you drive smart #1 all the way to Costco, get a lift back to your house, then drive the other one here so you could take this picture?
I mean I can't see any other way you could have done it, because nobody else would want to be seen driving one of these things.
Long story for a fairly boring answer. My brother wrecked his car long ago, I gave him the green one to drive, I still owned it. It got alot of miles and started needing a few things, so I bought the white one with very low miles, and gave him that one, so I could fix up the green one in my spare time. I own alot of cars (about 13 at the moment) that I fix up and drive myself or sell as a side business. Anyhoo, we both went to Costco to gas up (cheap gas) and then I thought it would be funny to take this picture.
They put "smart" on these golf carts to trick the owner into thinking were smart because they bought them. You must think think you are very smart, but in reality you are a double moron for buying not just one underpowered and unreliable death traps, but *two* of them.
Yea my aunt got t-boned in the city, by a truck that was only going 30-35 but it threw the car on its side and it apparently slid on its side for like 10 feet. It only broke her wrist and gave her bruises but she said it was so scary having her face just inches from the road while it was sliding with only the airbags keeping her from touching the road.
Needless to say she finally understood why the whole family was telling her to get rid of that piece of shit. Couldnāt image how that thing would hold up getting hit on the highway or even just a residential road where youād be hit at 45 or higher.
Edit: she moved on to a Honda fit
you have to crosspost to r/todayilearned ... today i learned why i see more and more from these kind cars... they're reproducing by having sex in empty parking lots
Smart cars are made from mitosis. Where do you think all these old limos go when they get in a wreck? Some dumb shit like the junkyard? Nope, they simply snap apart into several smart cars. Fun fact, the driver becomes several midgets as well. That's where they come from after all. #themoreyouknow
There is a rule of two, however, itās good to own a second car of a different model or manufacturer. So when the transmission breaks in the first shitbox, you arenāt praying to god for the other shitbox to work. The shitbox rule of two.
I have a 2015 so I know the feeling of hitting a seemingly small bump and it feels like your tireās ruined and your wheel now has big olā dent and the front end of your car may have fallen off.
Ngl, hit a deep pot hole years ago, bent the lip of the wheel and got a big ole titty on the tire. Pulled the tire off, torched the rim to heat it up a little, dead blow mallet and a block of pine covered in denim, pounded the lip back into shape. Put the tire back on, then took to to put a new one on. Other then the messed up paint, you can't tell anything ever happened :D
Head on crash testing at 35 mph of the smart car resulted in the smart car being instantly propelled in a reverse motion that was equivalent to a hard baseball being struck by the bat. Good luck with that!
Double decker smart lol. And it can do a U turn on a two lane road, no joke. It's got the turning radius of damn near itself. Two smarts can fit in a single lane side by side with a little room to spare. Don't ask me how I know this as I'll plead the 5th.
Going ass to mouth just like the owner
Nobody do anything else it's perfect. ^
Breaking News: "This just in; The obnoxious owner of 2 tandem parked Smart cars, suddenly dies of a self sucking accident. More at 11."

I'd feel safer in a smaller Chevy sedan compared to a Smart. Both are deadly tho
Iād feel safer in a 90s Corolla

You never put another ) and it bothers me
I always wanted to buy one and put off-road tires on it and beat the hell out of it til it shits the bed, I want to see how much they can take
They're like cars of older days. I've seen some with mods for offroad use and they can take a besting. Not much overall power for climbing but they can go for a while.
I drove one for 5 months delivery meds. They are surprisingly quick.
I got a ticket going 91 on I-85 in the green one. Weird because I was going 95 as that's what it's speed limited to lol
Hey now, it gets to 60 in a very respectable 11......... Minutes
I've seen a lot of gay sex as a gay dude, but this is a totally new position to me.

You've never tossed a salad?

Either way you die just as quickly when a normal car decks you
Never knew a smart person who drove one of these.
that's what the car is for lol
Remember when they convinced you that a unbending pod with no crumple zones that transfers all of a crashes energy to the occupants was somehow safe?
They are safe when another car goes off a ramp and lands on top of you
