The Smart-for-Two, of course, does have the advantage over a big heavy Crown Vic in that it can manuver and turn just about anywhere, and fit through places that a Crown Vic couldn't dream of. The downside, of course, is the tipsy handling from the Smart's high/narrow/short stance, propensity for roll-overs, and the obvious lack of occupant crash-protection if something does happen.

I was really hoping to see the cops use the pit maneuver in this chase.

That chase was hilarious! Just watching it reminded me of the circus. When the cop clown car chases the bad guys. But on a serious note, I feel there is an unfair expectation of intelligence with smart car drivers.
