Maybe Rob should read evilbean42′s post on Smart Car of America, he didn’t take the pictures as he was a few hours away from the car. Someone else took the pictures for him…..

I’d still take a Smart over a Yaris (Yawnis) anyday. But that’s just me and yes I did test drive the Yaris.

Yes, it has more of a cage to protect you against larger vehicles but when it comes down to it the body of the driver was undamaged but either way I’m willing to help you find a good Yaris in similar conditions.
