    "They did extremely well; you would have survived in every one of those vehicles."
    Key word: _survived._ As if the fact that people who have crashes in these vehicles, and will probably not be able to walk on their own two legs ever again, is not the real issue.

      I love their explanations: speed was too high, test was deceptive, we can't protect legs, cause we'll lower protection for head, we passed the minimum safety requirements. How does it compare to real life?
      I would like to find a chapter in car user manual called: "Prefered accident conditions", where user will be informed he shouldn't be driving more than 35 mph during an accident, should aim directly at the obstacle, be it a wall, tree or another vehicle. When colliding off-center, you should tuck your legs. You would also be told that injuries sustained are within government specifications.
      I'd also like to hear their rep telling public how much heavy injuries and deaths are acceptable according to them. Preferably with pie charts. Everything's looks better with pie charts.

  • @nicolecherry3348
    @nicolecherry3348 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Although I dont disagree with the findings of these older cars, I think a greater issue today is how cars made today make you feel like your going slower than what you are, have less engagement between the driver and the ground that causes needless speeding and complacency. These tests dont mean much when most of the populace is driving above the speed limit and being careless. Nothing against proper hooning, but here in the states most arent formally taught to drive so accidents are more common. These tests tell a lot about a common crash but we really need to fix our drivers educations infrastructure. These small cars are relatively safe when not going head on with 5000 pound truck or a modern 200hp grocery getter 4 door. I hope the research they find continues to improve safety in cars but I find the market seems to sell cars a bit differently than what is efficient, safe or cost effective for the consumer.

    "65,000 years of driving, that's how rare this is." The ignorance and idiocy of George Parker's comment is astounding. Who doesn't drive on a road that's exposed to someone else driving towards you on the other side of the road? We all do, unless you live somewhere where there's nothing but one-way streets. That's the very definition of an offset driving direction, or offset crash. What kind of tomfoolery is this fool up to?

  • @rileysmith9843

    Just 4 years later, the Elantra would flunk the offset test because of late airbag deployment and high head injury measures, along with movement of the driver seat. The 2004 Elantra improved in the same test because the airbags deployed on time.

    • @b.t.356
      @b.t.356 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, but it has been already outdated back then. It's essentially a VW Golf III from 1991, usually a small 3 door compact car. It passed offset crash tests at 35mph, and other tests against heavier cars of the day with flying colors. This 40mph test was specifically developed to raise the bar and challenge those older designs. Let's put it that way: a Mercedes 190E or BMW 3 series from that era wouldn't perform well either. The first Mercedes 200 C class barely passed.

    So fast, so severe? With the current 70 mph speed limits and traffic moving at 50 in a 35 zone, super-speeders, and monster personal use vehicles weighing three tons or more, inexcusably high power (who really needs more than 150 horsepower for daily driving?), 40 mph crash tests may be considered to be too slow. There is a trade-off between crash performance and manufacturing cost, but if one car does well in a particular test, what is the excuse that another doesn't in the same test?

      Everyone here is correct. 40 mph is the average speed for a two-lane country, mountain, or forest road. Any collision about that speed is a greater chance for more devastating results in the event of that said collision.

      +BlueNinjakoopa553 Yes. It received a poor rating. A concussion would be likely, as well as a severely broken leg. Depending on the crash, the driver may experience some more severe injuries due to the dummy flying about inside the vehicle during the crash. Instrusion was severe and the steering wheel column was rammed upwards, while the foot well was rammed back. The plastic inside the cabin was cracked when the dummy's head hit the windowsill.

      The Mirage and Mirage G4? Those are cheap cars, actually when IIHS released the small overlap test, Mitsubishi even scored better than some BMW, Mercedes and other cars, the 2008 Lancer earned acceptable when IIHS rated that test, the others got poor, I remember the C-Class got poor at that time, remember the last generation Lancer was released back in 2008. The new Outlander was also named the safest SUV in the market for the year 2023, fun fact, the Outlander got a good rating in the new updated side impact crash test, Volvo with it's XC60 got an acceptable rating, Cadillac with it's XT6 got a poor rating, not to mention the new Grand Highlander got an acceptable rating on the small overlap crash test.
