[QUOTE=LarsHelo;37471709]Then again, there's the question: What if it was loaded with something with the same weight/roughly the same as it was in that video? After all, it is a truck, meant to transport a lot of things, possibly heavy things. And there are places where you are allowed to go at 100 km/h (even though it's not a speed being used in the NCAP tests), which makes it pretty damn scary anyways.[/QUOTE]
You're pretty dead if you have tons of weight in the back and hit something extremely hard and stationary in any single car in the world

That's at about 75mph D:

0:57, no idea how fast they were going, kinda hard to find videos.

Only good video I could find from a Dateline NBC special from the late 90s. It's at about 5:45. So I will probably survive. At least it was one of the better cars in that list.

mines an '02 close enough
apparently I have side airbags cool

In no way surprised. Gon die.
My shit's too old. This is the closest I can find, being just six years older. Ford didn't really change much structurally so it'll do...I suppose I'll be fine if I hit a shitty 80s Ford Escort :v:

I've got the I6 too, so I'm especially boned if I hit something dead center. There's just nowhere for the energy to go, the engine's going through the dashboard. Guess it's a good thing I don't drive like a retard, eh?

Skip to 1:00 for crash, pretty good although it looks slower than 40mph, I have no idea how fast it was actually going.

It holds up very well for a car of its size.

I'm still confident in my car.

5 stars safe, but damn that looks scary.
I can't find any MR2 Crash Test videos, but here's a CS300 deciding a Smart Car doesn't deserve to exist anymore.

I don't know why, but those dummies look so fucking scary to me...
[QUOTE=cardfan212;37448398]Well, not technically my car quite yet, but...

I feel perfectly safe.[/QUOTE]
I have one of those! :D

didn't the CEO of smart say like the frame of the smart car is really strong
this doesn't support his statement
For it's size, it's pretty strong. But it would probably crisp hitting a truck or something head on.

I wouldn't trust my life with one.
Rather the Smart Car than the G-Wiz

What's the point of that video? They said, what I thought was pretty common knowledge, no matter what you drive, you're pretty much boned if you hit something fast enough.

Guess it's cool seeing the Smart Car explode against the barrier though.

Mine's the Mitsubishi SUV. I pity that Accord.

Not exactly my car, but I have it under contract and probably will be buying it once it expires.

[QUOTE]The Focus’s body proved to be extremely strong and its passenger cell was stable, protecting the occupants. The car just missed achieving a maximum score in the frontal impact test. The restraint systems include dual frontal airbags, front belt pre-tensioners and load limiters, side airbags and a head airbag curtain. Side-impact protection was impressive while that for children was also good. The protection given to pedestrians was reasonably good.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'll probably not be dead, I hope.
I feel completely safe. :downs:

My Skoda CitiGo (Its the exact same car as the VW Up!)

Im really impressed with this compared to other small cars such as the citreon C1, barely any deformation at the top of the windscreen etc.
Even so, my First car (a 2000 Skoda Fabia) was quite impressive, given its age, in a crash test:

Not bad for a 10+ year old car. Plus mine has side airbags :)
