so you think a car need only 2 airbags ?? 0 star cause no airbag side. I totally agree with this crashtest and disagree to you excepted for the automatic brake who i agree to you
Why I may be wrong, I think I worked it out that if it had just seatbelt warnings on all the seats, the car would've gotten atleast 1 star, or maybe even 2. Again, sorry about bringing up seatbelts...
True, but I did spend (waste ;-; )a good 20-30 mins on that site trying to figure out why that car got the lowest score by far. You'd be surprised at how much the seatbelt warnings improve the score. Edited because this website hates the cry face
Sidebags were standard on most markets, but NCAP always picks the least equipped version available anywhere in Europe. Also used to come with standard windowbags (that makes 4) everywhere and free sidebags where they were not standard. AEB also weights way too much in the final score: no AEB automatically disqualifies any vehicle from a 5 stars rating, which is why a lot of cheaper modern cars can't even get 4 stars nowadays. --- Post updated --- Also this. No rear seatbelt reminder can take a whole star off the final rating.
Any supercars also. You'd be going flopping like a floppy disk before you end as bread crumbs. Examples are the McLarens. The crashes are as brutal as a house fire or can cost you as much as Microsoft's HQ. Just a few pictures to prove how McLarens can be dangerous, even if it's the driver to fault for these crashes.
What are you, kidding? Wind like that is not strong enough to simply throw a car off a bridge, smashing through railing in process. The car lost control during bad weather, crashed through the railing and sank. The driver and the bridge are to blame. The car is not. The driver failed to adapt her speed to road conditions and the builders built a railing so weak it couldn't even stop a Yugo. Any car (especially 80's one) could have spun out of control if driven improperly during these conditions. A traditional 'Murican body-on-frame fullsize monster would have needed much less velocity to break the railing, greatly increasing the chance to fall off the bridge. I wonder if the railing engineers were punished in any way. If you can't design a railing that can stop a 850 kg car, you don't deserve to keep your job.
IDK, C&P that from other site that publish that --- Post updated --- At least it didn't appear the F1 *Heart broken*
Nope, not dangerous. The driver's compartment is intact. In fact, if I were to crash, I'd like to be in a super/hyper car, because according to tests, they are the safest stuff around. As for the most unsafe, post-WWII Europe had a microcar boom, with many car built in their "manufacturers'" garages. I'm pretty sure one of these feeble-engined, weak- (often wooden-) -bodied, put-together-in-a-barn POSes is the most unsafe car ever.
Explain the whiplash then. Plus, one of the images I showed involves a guardrail, and the roof didn't support. Not all, but plenty of supercars can be/are dangerous.
I imagine the car wedged itself under the railing at really high speed, I doubt most roofs would survive that.
I got something that ain't a supercar... The classic Mini Cooper. The older Volvos have much more luck than these.
