What under RM100k car has speed auto-lock? Also which under RM100k car has side curtain airbag? and both?

I don't think there are any...

Hey Bro, haven't you notice all the models are above 10 years old ? 

I have two cars that both got 5 star Ncap ratings but for different versions.

My 2011 Accord and my 2013 Ranger both have only 2 airbags.

I bought the Accord after seeing Top Gear's bit on the difference between the 3 star rating and the 5 star rating on the Euro Ncap. They used a Waja to demonstrate the 3 star rating. I was driving a Waja at the time.

Now I'm wondering if these cars are safe enough. Neither have traction control or any electronic safety gadgets apart from ABS.

That's like saying in the 18th century people survived too, right? Well, some did. Many didn't. But those that did, great for them. There are plenty of road related fatalities happening, and that number could go down significantly with safer cars. It has in places that moved on towards safer cars.

Anyway, many things contribute to safety. Good tyres (they are the only thing that make contact with the road!), safe cars that are good at surviving crashes, safe cars that are good at avoiding crashes (which honestly I prefer... it saves money, trouble, unnecessary injuries etc.), and of course safe drivers that don't fiddle with their mobile phone and that are courteous and care about others, too. Each of these things reduce the risk of something bad happening. Do as much as you can afford.

Everyone can be a safe driver.

Good tyres is also something most people can afford to do, even if that means not going for the largest, flashiest rims possible. Small steel rims do the job. Small rims lead to cheaper tyres, and steel rims are cheap so you can afford better ones, and afford to replace in time. I guess you all know this, but for example (in Germany) my Golf has 17" rims (15" would work too). But people have gone up to 20". For the price of 17" Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RT2 (probably what I'll be getting as my next set), which according to reviews are some of the best tyres out there, I can't even get 20" Nankang. Small rims mean you can afford good tyres. 15" Continental PremiumContact 5 are half as expensive as 20" Nankang, and Continental tyres with 20" cost 5 times as much as 15" ones. All for the same car that is. Maybe if others can see expensive tyres from a distance, people would be willing to spend on them. Maybe it's time to go back to white lettering on tyres...

Safe cars... if you buy a new car these days, there is almost _always_ an option that has good protection. Yes, that may mean you have to buy a Proton rather than a Japanese brand. So what. Proton offers cheap cars with 6 airbags and stability control. Now, higher end active safety features (automatic braking etc.) are only available on few cars, and they do cost more... The features themselves are relatively cheap, VW charges roughly RM 5k for lane assist and adaptive cruise control when you order these features with your new car. Also many cars from B segment up can be ordered with these features in other countries. It's a matter of customers demanding these things.

Ok. Then we kind of agree anyway. What I say is when it is time to buy a new car, THEN make safety a key criteria, as there is usually a safe option that fits the budget.

Self braking has helped me already... it wouldn't have been a serious crash, but the car managed to react faster than I did. That is no surprise... humans have a very slow reaction time, the only advantage humans have is being able to see more/understand more and predict what is going to happen. However there are situations where you can't predict. That's where the computer helps.

Also the adaptive cruise control helps me save fuel and drive more consistent.

Lane assist has saved me a couple of times (keep in mind that I do sometimes drive 1500 km a day, and that it often is not possible to find a place to rest for 20, 30 minutes, sometimes even hours as lorry drivers are forced to rest at night here, and all car parks are completely blocked by lorries). There's no way I'd want to drive without it anymore. (And no, I don't drive any different from when I didn't have those assistants, guess I was lucky (and drove less back then). Also if I am this tired, I'll try to rest ASAP.
Never tried that, though I'd expect understeer. I think It'd corner better than a car without stability control though.

There is this Taiwan car review youtube channel that I watch. The host always emphasize on safety, encourages the viewer to buy safer cars and is not shy about criticizing carmakers when their safety is not up to par.

At the same time, he always repeat that these safety features are only there to assist, not replace the driver. NEVER rely on these safety assists so much that you cannot drive properly without them, which from what I understand from your post, is exactly what's happening to you.

Please make sure you are up for the driving ahead, never rely completely on these systems. One day you may be driving a car without these features, and in your drowsy state failed to realize you don't have the safety net you depended so much on, to keep you away from the ditch.

Not every day. But usually 4 times a year I do. Every day I drive 190 km... in the morning 85, in the evening after a long work day another 85.

I can drive properly without the safety features, and I don't drive differently. I have caught the car last minute before I had the safety tech. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I nap away even though I'm fully awake just minutes earlier, and can't even sleep if I try to. I try not to rely on the safety tech, cause I know there can be a road section without markings, there can be dirt in front of the camera, or really heavy rain/fog can disturb the system too... . But so far this tech has worked almost always (there's also a little icon telling me when it sees road markings). Even if you only ever need it once, you'll be glad that you've had it when that time comes.

And what the reviewer is saying is what I am trying to say, too. I'd like to add that you never know when you may need it. You may be the best, safest, most attentive driver in the world. But at some point you may get distracted, you may be a bit tired and can't find a place to stop/don't realize you're getting tired. Something completely surprising and unexpected can happen... remember the poor cop that had something drop from a lorry in front of him? How can you predict that happening? The computer would slam the brakes much faster than a surprised human being can.

Btw., we do have reached the point where some self driving cars are safer drivers than humans. Tesla is there for example, and Google is years ahead of Tesla.

Oh, and I'd like to know: When you change lanes, do you turn your head to the side to see if there's a car in the blind spot?

frankly.... the supreemah.... given the scenario where you are definitely going to get hit....

I do think both car has quite similar capability to avoid accident provided the DRIVER is fully aware and possessed sufficient driving skill and no other car around.

But having said that, the Evo should have better agility and stability of AWD to avoid it 

Yes. Nice to have. It doesn't take any responsibility from the driver though.
Interesting question. For fun reasons I'd go with the Evo, for safety reasons with the Suprima/Preve (the structure is stronger, the airbags help too). Also the Proton, being new, should be more reliable/less problematic.

As for getting out of dangerous situations/handling... you may have picked a bad example, because Proton already handles relatively well, even without the electronic aids.

Are the brakes actually better? Plenty of modern family cars have stopping distances that would make Porsches from past decades green with envy.

Honest I have no idea which would be better at getting you out of bad situations, I suppose that also depends on the driver (normal drivers may be better with VSC, while more advanced drivers, perhaps with track experience, may be better in the Evo), on the situation, road condition, ... like on snow the AWD will help you more than VSC does. etc.

VII / VIII / IX is a beast to be driven. well depends on which type of vehicle u really want. if safety is your main concern, then sorry no Evo for u. not to say Evo is unsafe, but the urge of pushing the car to its limit is simply much more apparent in Evo than Suprima / Preve. if our own way of driving is dangerous and careless, we could lose our lives even in Volvo.
