Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 2:02 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Let's talk numbers. Your average .. let's just go with a 2000 Cadillac. Gets 28-30 Miles per gallon on the highway. Your average smart car gets 35 miles to the gallon on the highway. The cadillac, in an accident has much larger crumple zones, effectively slowing down the accident on your body, where as the Smart, has a few inches, and BOOM. Which would you consider buying if both were the same price? Mind you, you are shopping for convenience, safety, features, and peace of mind. Let's let the people of LW decide. -- Posted by xJosex at 2:03 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 A small one of course. -- Posted by The Artery at 2:03 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The small one because it's cute. -- Posted by ericaj 2393 at 2:04 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 the small 1 is friggn hott lol -- Posted by help me now at 2:05 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Quote: from siddox3 at 2:03 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The small one because it's cute. yea it is -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 2:05 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Quote: from siddox3 at 2:03 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The small one because it's cute. You're joking right? So you'd rather choose something over how it looks, versus being safe within an accident? LOLOLOL This is why everyone hates america. -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 2:05 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 if only I posted a BMW .. . . . . -- Posted by Tavis at 2:17 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Big one, I love my trucks, or, in this case, larger cars. -- Posted by ScoobyDoo82 at 3:20 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The smart, because those have EXCELLENT safety cages. Only thing you have to worry about in those is rolling after the crash. -- Posted by FTF at 3:47 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The ForTwo. Because if it can survive on the Kenai Peninsula, it must be good. Another solid reason is that, that Cadillac is fucking front wheel drive. Just. Go away. -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 3:55 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 who are you telling to go away? -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 3:57 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 BTW Front wheel drive makes for a bigger floor area, which in turn gives you more space inside the car which is always nice. BTW, It's easier for regular drivers to drive in the snow (though they roughed it with rwd for the first 80 yrs of the 1900's before fwd was widely used.. if you're telling me to go away, why don't you do us all the favor. you told us you'd never come back and here you are, being a cock to everyone for no reason. -- Posted by emo sux69 at 4:37 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 2, becuase that little smart engine would blow with a few years of highway driving, its tight ass gears would be all reved out on your local freeway. Were as the V8 in the caddy would have enough torque to just run on the engine without barely any throttle on a highway. -- Posted by coloring the void at 5:02 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 i hate seeing those stupid things on the road. -- Posted by FTF at 6:12 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Quote: from Holden Commodore at 3:57 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 BTW Front wheel drive makes for a bigger floor area, which in turn gives you more space inside the car which is always nice.

Oh there is reason. You defending FWD like you are just makes you sound like some sort of loser. Oh yes. I know about the bigger floor thing. One of Ford's selling points for the famous Tempo if I remember right. I like how you are talking about snow as if I've never seen it before. Hint: I live in Alaska. -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 11:41 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Get out. -- Posted by mcodeath at 11:49 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 Quote: from ScoobyDoo82 at 5:20 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The smart, because those have EXCELLENT safety cages.

Why don't you purchase one, and let me T-bone you with that Caddy and see whos really right here?   -- Posted by vampie888 at 10:48 am on Sep. 6, 2008 cadilac -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 11:38 am on Sep. 6, 2008 winnar -- Posted by As A Kite at 11:43 am on Sep. 6, 2008 I'd rather have the small one so that is something as big as you fell on me I might get lucky and be squeezed in between the fat rolls. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 11:43 am on Sep. 6, 2008 Quote: from ScoobyDoo82 at 5:20 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 The smart, because those have EXCELLENT safety cages.

Cage means jack shit.  Your organs will be hitting the other parts of your insides at the rate of the car, not slowed down by a crumple zone. -- Posted by 4est at 1:30 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 " Your average smart car gets 35 miles to the gallon on the highway.

You're right on our ForTwo's being toned down in fuel economy, but nonetheless they are in our top ten most fuel efficient cars available at 41MPG on the highway to 33 city. A 2000 DeVille gets 25 highway and 15 city. Supposedly over a year, you will have saved about $2,000 in gas by choosing the ForTwo. Oh yeah, and Eric forgot about that detail about us getting the least fuel efficient ForTwo's. Overseas (and even in Canada) you can get one that will do you 60MPG+ No DeVille will ever do this. -- Posted by hivemind at 2:01 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 the big one.....if you get hit in a smart car your fucked. -- Posted by tempoluvver69 at 3:32 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 Quote: from 4est at 1:30 pm on Sep. 6, 2008 " Your average smart car gets 35 miles to the gallon on the highway.

The average miles driven per year is around 11,000, i think. With gas at 3.50 a gallon, the difference is only 855 a year, or 18 dollars a week. To me 18 dollars a week is worth being able to seat 5 (or 6?) passengers, not get killed in a crash, have a large trunk, have decent acceleration, and not look like a douchebag. Not to mention, parts are probably expensive and hard to find for the smart car. Oh i almost missed it, the smart car requires premium gas.
