[@jmendoza328]

As soon as realized he was gonna roll that mini down the hill, I paused the video, commented this and got out....

[@aluwanimoyo4093]

That first editions Lexus LS400 is a future classic - should have used a Ford Mondeo or something. The MINI is also a sought after classic. This felt unnecessary. TWO legendary cars needlessly ruined for a two minute bit.

[@aidan1585]

The Lexus probably had a damaged engine or something , flood damage etc Keep in mind this was the best part of 20 years ago

[@TheSLSAMG]

Why did they have to destroy a Mini Cooper and a Lexus LS?!?!

[@tiesandbinds]

I have to say I really liked the "balloon test." It was quite technical!

[@wootness3000]

Does a mini have air bags, air-con, CD, XM, ABS, TCS, STM, ARS, a smooth quiet ride, or any of the other amenities of a modern car? No? Then yes, they did step up the game in the last 50 years.

[@soulshower]

I always loved Morris Minis.

[@slowsinglecam]

I would pick the Mini over both of the cars any day.

[@raxo4]

Buy a Mini, have fun and don't crash. That's the problem of today, everybody is thinking how to deal with the crash rather than how to think ahead and avoid it.

[@PetarVN]

is it just mo or would you rather have the mini anyway

[@exiledrabbit]

Smart could make such a nice car if it had a tiny turbo diesel and a dual clutch. imagine the possibilities

[@Threetails]

Right then, if you want to survive a crash, get an IQ or a Smart. If you want to do anything else, get a Mini.

[@LeoMkII]

Man don't crush the lexus, damn

[@mhikari92]

If you let me choise I will choise mini for no good reason. (Yes I am a mini fan,and I am believe that a car which has a bigger 'nose" is safer than a car which only has a small one)

[@bdmr_isf]

did they really just crash an LS400 for this??!!!

[@Tekhsheen]

Auston Martin uses that same iQ to lower their average emissions, allowing them to sell more beefy v8/v10 supercars!

[@LouisLambert]

@guzrau32 Thank you so much for your comment, I really like it. It's easy to read and informative. I gave the vid a thumbs up, because I think it was good on Fifth Gear to point out that an intact car can make mince meat out of the passengers. Nevertheless, your footnote is just as important as the vid. Cheers!

[@AMPATL]

Yes. That's about 8 years too long. You'd think they would 'up the ante' now that Toyota's in direct competition. Come on Smart!!

[@polopowered]

IQ is a design classic. Smart showing its age and its unreliable. I don't know why they have compared the two to a Mini. The IQ is shorter than a Mini.

[@krunky5000]

In the USA its a Scion not a toyota but it is the same

[@juliiowuliio]

WHY DID YOU DESTROY THIS CLASSIC MINI?????

[@dudurosca273]

Toyota aygo peugeot 107 and citroen c1 the best citycars.

[@millwrightman99]

@l6632154 A Sire no DE Bergerac fan .You know what they say about big noses ------they blow well.

[@mrbignose888]

holy shit, they destroyed a lexus ls 400, same color is mine. how can you do this?!

[@steve_lin]

awsome lexus ls

[@Adam19822000]

I imagine there is no shortage of old Minis in the UK

[@davehedgehog4391]

There isn't.

[@Blade4613]

it goes to north to 60 in 16 seconds, that's glacial... thanks... my mom's corsa 1.0 does that in the same time... i feel more sad now...

[@Spotty1125]

It can't! Well, it could, but it'll never be the same again!

[@torod213]

If it was a '59 or early 60's Mini then yes, that would be tragic. But it wasn't. It was a 1 grand mini of a more recent year. From the interior and wheels I'd say it was a 90's Mini. It wasn't a classic. And there are tons of them around. Stop whining.

[@Spotty1125]

Exactly.

[@toyotaprius79]

I better not like or dislike...

[@Lv0nightmare]

The reviewer should have been in the mini for the crash test.

[@carlbridgeman9420]

So did he test two petrols against a diesel smart car? Not a totally fair test really is it

[@ItsJosh]

Dont put too many balloons in the cars they might float away

[@Jay351]

The 1uz is damn near bulletproof. What a waste

[@AzuriteReverb]

In the words of TVR, "Don't crash then.."

[@shadow479]

this is more an episode dedicated to the Mini car, not a comparison between Toyota Iq and the Smart fortwo... obviously mainly because is a car from their country... and so, this title is a bit unfairly lier.

[@ChrisFullerton]

In the states its a Scion IQ :P

[@9Diet5Pepsi]

Well, with the mini you save £8000 on the car. That's a lot of fuel, but you might as well buy a £50 car if you really don't care what you drive.

[@Statimtek]

The Mini has more class than any of the three other cars in this segment. I find it hillarious that Aston Martin is selling IQ's with a Aston style grille, two tone leather seats, and Aston badging for around 50 Grand.You can put lipstick on a pig.It's still a pig(Toyota) and not worth 50 grand. Even 16 Grand is too much. The IQ is butt ugly, the Smart is,well, funky.The Mini is an icon.

[@123Jokkmokk123]

i'll tell you something, i would rather die in a crash in the mini then survive in a crash in the smart of the toyota.

[@v3n0mb0y]

should have done the crash test with a smart roadster.

[@DannoTull]

If it's sooooo great why did they change it so much on to days model?

[@lu-dx6oh]

Really biased review , marking down the Toyota IQ for having bigger dimensions but same # of balloons in volume, it has 9 bloody airbags it was the first production car in the world to have an airbag in the rear windshield

the IQ might be maneuverable in the city but is hell when they need repairs

[@cardude1992]

alittle? put it in an offset crash test at 40 mph and itll completely be crushed.

[@buddingvideos]

i was expecting a smart and toyota review not a mini review

[@dude2106]

@stiantiger That all sound very well, and it would be nice if the world of motoring were that way. Sadly, there are morons everywhere who are just waiting to crash into you, and THAT is where you want a safe car.

[@davehedgehog4391]

Destroying a mini and a Lexus LS, to what end? Complete crap.

[@HvPman]

I would take the mini over those two any day of the week. That car is legen...wait for it...dary!

[@geoffrnm]

that's not an equivalent test to the euroncap one since cars crash into non moving objects on it get this mini on a wall at 70mph we'll see how the driver is they just crashed a nice little car for nothing

[@zzracer]

try to hit smart this oldone mini

[@sranjesuper]

exactly and what kind of random test is this anyways lol. they rammked a smart into concrete, not anothe car which can crumble

[@3UZFE]

This didn't show or tell us anything. Pathetic.

[@futten3230]

i dont need to to know what they are

[@Meowykittykat]

Yes a mini is a Toyota lol

[@stiantiger]

I would take the Mini any time.. If you buy a car because how it wil crash,you should keep the fuck off the road anyway... It's not the car that saves your ass,it how you drive..

[@BadDriversofBrazil]

Poor comparison

[@guangxidavidliu]

The test only proved you are NOT a scientist, and not very good in physics. You can compare with apple and orange.

[@ALTEZZAKAR]

а то что под капотом у мини была тонна кирпичей никто этого не показал,, полная антирекламма тоёты,,,,,, надо было этот эксперимент наоборот попробовать.

[@Dillon000]

Fith gear sux top gear rox🚗🚗🚗😃😃😃😃😃😃😃💩™

[@erik_dk842]

144p resolution

[@Timx4]

german girl or japanese girl lol?

[@elukok]

I would rather buy the old mini and put new engine in it instead of buying those two..

[@Adam19822000]

quid, eh?

[@Theazwarsyah]

Hoodoo Destroyed the mini , bad view

[@Spotty1125]

They should be wiser about using classic cars.

[@benzlover55]

*Facepalm* I fear I may never be able to import a classic mini thanks to shows like this...

[@Lv0nightmare]

This review sucks...fire that guy.

[@FEGTTTSDH]

i usa is cheap the fuel, in others countrys NO

[@xgelmirx]

I can't stand this guys head, he such a bad presenter. Tiff all the way. Typical British review as well. Smart and Toyota do way better mpg, are way more reliable and easier to park, better equiped, etc, etc. They're designed for the city. The mini is a nice classic but nothing more than that. Stupid comparison.

[@futten3230]

no they destroyed a glorified toyota

[@bbalog3]

what a stupid test

[@OMDF01]

Poor and pointless review. Worst? No fun factor either. Sigh!
