Most dangerous car on the road! by Lemmie on 06/29/2008. Trim: 2008 Smart fortwo pure, Owned less than 1 year.

Pros: None.

Cons: Small, dangerous little contraption.

Overall review: According to informedforlifedotorg this is the most dangerous car on the road, bar none. It has a dismal ranking, dead last, of 162. You can't repeal the laws of physics with clever merchandising. Govern yourselves accordingly.
