Upon my review of the report, I would say the smart fortwo has earned high marks on its safety worthiness for a car classified in the the micro-car category. This gives smart car enthusiasts a level of comfort that the smart car with its tridion safety cell does indeed provide protection in a crash while providing great gas mileage for a fun commuter car. This safety report should give enough information to help potential buyers make an intelligent decision on one of the key factors in purchasing a car.

I would recommend first taking a look at the video to get a great overview of test results.

Enjoy the safety the Fortwo offers ! Your “Smart Car Guy”,

Hi there smart car fans,

Happy Memorial Day to you despite the new record setting gasoline prices.

Here in Boise, Idaho we have reached a new high of $3.89 per gallon.  It’s been a tough month of May for drivers with gasoline prices consistently going up the entire month.

I believe America is entering a new realm where we must make changes in order to handle the impact of what higher and higher gasoline prices are doing to our budgets.

People are cutting back on the amount of driving, walking/biking more, and looking into alternate modes of transportation such as the smart car fortwo.  I’m curious, what are you doing to handle the rising cost of gasoline?

The smart car entered the United States this past January and is getting Americans high miles per gallon (MPG) ratings that is helping to ease the burden continually rising gasoline prices.
