FifthGear.17 Smart vs Toyota IQ

[@jmendoza328]

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

[@TheSLSAMG]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@Adam19822000]

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

[@davehedgehog4391]

There isn't.

[@juliiowuliio]

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

[@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.

[@slowsinglecam]

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

[@soulshower]

I always loved Morris Minis.

[@Lv0nightmare]

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

[@bdmr_isf]

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

[@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!

[@Tekhsheen]

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

[@LeoMkII]

Man don't crush the lexus, damn

[@ItsJosh]

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

[@krunky5000]

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

[@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.

[@mrbignose888]

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

[@millwrightman99]

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

[@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.

[@buddingvideos]

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

[@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)

[@AzuriteReverb]

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

[@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...

[@ChrisFullerton]

In the states its a Scion IQ :P

[@Jay351]

The 1uz is damn near bulletproof. What a waste

[@DannoTull]

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

[@Spotty1125]

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

[@v3n0mb0y]

should have done the crash test with a smart roadster.

[@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.

[@toyotaprius79]

I better not like or dislike...

[@futten3230]

i dont need to to know what they are

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

[@steve_lin]

awsome lexus ls

[@carlbridgeman9420]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dudurosca273]

Toyota aygo peugeot 107 and citroen c1 the best citycars.

[@sranjesuper]

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

[@zzracer]

try to hit smart this oldone mini

[@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

[@cardude1992]

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

[@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.

[@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..

[@3UZFE]

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

[@BadDriversofBrazil]

Poor comparison

[@ALTEZZAKAR]

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

[@HvPman]

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

[@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

[@erik_dk842]

144p resolution

[@Timx4]

german girl or japanese girl lol?

[@Adam19822000]

quid, eh?

[@Meowykittykat]

Yes a mini is a Toyota lol

[@Spotty1125]

Exactly.

[@davehedgehog4391]

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

[@Theazwarsyah]

Hoodoo Destroyed the mini , bad view

[@benzlover55]

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

[@guangxidavidliu]

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

[@Dillon000]

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

[@Spotty1125]

They should be wiser about using classic cars.

[@elukok]

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

[@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.

[@bbalog3]

what a stupid test

[@futten3230]

no they destroyed a glorified toyota

[@OMDF01]

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