Mass equals comfort but not necessarily protection. Race cars weigh about 1300 lbs and take horrendous crashes in style. The Smart Two is a beast in crash testing, better than some larger vehicles. SUVs take too long to stop and don't swerve as well as a sedan. A long, narrow streamlined car has plenty of crash zone room.
