    Disagree. At least to me it would seem that the bigger the vehicle you're in and the more room between you and the frame/you and the source of impact, the better. Sure a direct driver-side impact might be equal. But if you were going to take on a high-impact collision to the front, back, or passenger-side, would you rather be in this...

    Those SmartCars are little tanks. Hold up well in a crash.

    Not sure about the new FIATs

    Google image search "Smart Car crash" and report back. The frames may be tough but I personally wouldn't want to be in such a small, enclosed space during a high-impact collision. That's just me though.

    I mean I don't want to be in a high-impact collision, period. But if I am going to be in one give me a sedan or an SUV over a clown car any day.

    That is cool. What do you like about it? I do not know much about them. They do look pretty cool. Imagine it would be a good car for a young woman. Cheap but still has some style. Like what the Toyota Echo/Yaris was supposed to be.

    There are some SUVs and pickups that are among the worst for crash test results.

    Don't doubt it. I wouldn't drive some of those tiny pickups either. Maybe it's all in my head but it's just personal preference.

    Looks can be deceiving. Skip to the 2:40 mark on this one and have a look at the Ford F-150.



    The 1:20 mark on this one will bring you to the Ford E-350. Right after is the Dodge Ram.



    Bigger does not make better.

    Then compare to how the best cars hold up.

    Wasn't that cheap, she got this one, 500c. Seems like she paid about $27 K by the time she got it how she wanted.
