The small size is one of the Smart's major selling points in Europe, where parking spaces are generally very limited. When I lived there, I'd frequently see two Smarts parked in one standard spot.
Something to consider WRT to size and crashworthiness: take two beams, identical except that one is twice as long as the other, and try to bend them them. You'll find that it takes considerably LESS force to bend the longer one.
