Fortwo IIHS Crash Test

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested the Smart Fortwo and found that it protects it's passengers pretty well. Both front and side impact ratings are Good.



Since airbags, including the side curtain, are standard on Smart cars, they are safer and less expensive than a Toyota Yaris. $2730 or so will get you side airbags for the Yaris, it's free with a Smart.

from Edmunds
The 1.0-liter three-cylinder gas engine in the Fortwo Brabus and Fortwo Brabus Xclusive gets a 30 percent boost in output to 98 horsepower, which enables 0-60-mph acceleration in less than 10 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 96 mph.

Brabus also has firmed up and lowered the suspension system to give the Fortwo a sportier ride with better handling. Monoblock VI alloy wheels and a sport exhaust system have been fitted. Other exterior modifications include foglamps and wider rear wheel arches. In addition, the Xclusive edition gets a front spoiler, rear apron, side skirts and tinted-glass headlamps.

The cabin receives a Brabus gearshift knob, handbrake handle and pedals, as well as signature tach, speedo and clock. The Xclusive boasts even more gear, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated leather seats and Brabus floor mats.
