Well, I -- for one -- have found the body integrity, even with just a slight bump or scrape, to be LESS that reassuring! It is a very cheap car, after all... Not just small (there are smaller ones; the Smart Twofer, the VW bug, now the FIAT 500 Pop, the Mazda Miata... I could go on!)... I'll continue my search for the next great vehicle...

Does anyone here know of Crosley's,I had a '50 Super.
Sitting in the car you could have both arms hang out each door.
I also had a '59 Fiat 500 Nouva,2dr,suicide door,with a factory
sliding roof.
I also had Austin Healey Sprite,and an MG Midget.
All of these cars were very small,Most offered no seat belts,or any kind of safety features.
You had to watch out for everybody else,or keep your lights on so you could be seen while driving.
I honestly think that most of the safety features on the new cars are not needed,such as ABS,traction control,air bags,(I hoestly believe they do more harm than good).

I've hit a freeway wall going at least 65mph on the Yaris and the bumper was not even dented, just a few scratches that aren't even that noticeable
