Smart Car Videos GalleryYour Smart Car Video CenterDrill Down Page from ... Stage 1c)Smart car videos, including the smart car crash test video, are the best way to get to know the smart fortwo, from top to bottom. So, I spent quite a few hours reviewing and collecting videos that I thought would help you understand the pros and cons of owning a smart car fortwo. First, some factual videos... News Reporting Smart Car VideosThe smart car has been sweeping the nation the past few months! And the media has been having a field day reporting on the smart. Check out what some of them have had to say... 1) Wall Street Journal: (1:52)This review shows what the tridion safety cell is, along with an interior image of the smart fortwo. They also show interviews with people asking them what they think about this new micro car. 2) Bostonchannel.com : (2:00)Kelly Tuthill takes the smart car for a test drive and gives a report. She liked the ride around Boston and interviews other test drivers to get their opinion on what they think about the fortwo. Also, Ken Kettenbeil demonstrates how roomy the smart is... along with great images of the interior. In addition, they discuss safety and show the tridion safety cell along with the air bags. 3) News 5 NBC: (2:06)This report does an interview with a smart car owner, Dave and shows him driving his smart around town. They mentioned the MPG rating of 34/41 in the city/highway, along with some images of the smart. Dave mentions he loves the "smiles per gallon" he gets while he is out and about in his fortwo. He says he has never seen so much enthusiasm and curiosity about a car the way he does with the smart fortwo. The clip shows him parking his smart perpendicular to the curb. I laughed at the end of the video when the two female anchors discuss their purses and the smart! 4) Kansas City News: (2:02)Reporter Deon Lynn took the smart car for a test drive in Kansas City. She mentions the smart has a 71 horsepower engine as she starts up the smart and takes it out for a ride. Next, they interview sales manager Joe at the smartcenter in Kansas City, who describes the smart getting 41 MPG on the highway. She also states the smart fortwo is manufactured by Mercedes in Smartville, France, along with the technology available (ESP and ABS) and a top speed of 90 mph. At the end of the video, the news anchors state the fortwo can handle people as tall as 6'5". 5) Associated Press: (2:38)First Person: Ken Anderson takes a blue smart car passion for a test drive in Washington, D.C. and gives his perspective on the fortwo. The video shows great footage of the smart car in action driving around. Take note of the passenger seat down to show the extra cargo space available. Ken provides commentary and basic facts about the fortwo. He mentions that he got accustomed to driving it and proclaimed "it was a pretty fun drive". Ken summaries his experience by saying "it's something like a pioneer spirit to driving the car". This video provides a good overall feel of the smart car is about. Smart Car Crash Test VideoJudging from my research, there are a lot of people interested in how safe the smart car is, being so small and all. I think these smart car crash test video clips tell the story about smart car safety pretty well... 2006 UK Smart Car Crash TestIn this video, a European smart car is crashed at 70 MPH into a concrete barrier and then the damage is evaluated. Pretty impressive, even if it is staged. 2008 Smart Car Crash VideoIn this video, the Highway Safety Institute tests the new US version of the smart car to see how it holds up in a crash test. They also compare it briefly to the larger Toyota Prius. Hope you enjoyed these videos they give a great sense of what the smart fortwo is all about. Please check back again, as I expect to add new videos here regularly. Or, if you have your own smart car video that you'd like me to include here, drop me a note.
