That's a rather old episode already. Nothing beats a Mini, that's clear but of course something must have been improved in the last 50+ years. Sadly they had a desire to crash a Mini to proof that. It could have been done without. It is in fact interesting that it's only safety where the Mini seems to have a minus according to them :mrgreen:

One of life's mysteries: how can a car named Smart look so dumb.
