VIos is B-segment smaller but still safe.Try the ViosTRD, I read in FnF that its a C-Segment car, hence bigger and much safer.
Why driving a safe car makes sense

QUOTE(BravoZeroTwo @ Jul 25 2013, 02:52 PM) That's why better to buy a car with good resale value so that when your time's up, you leave something with cash compensation from the insurance company. Low resale value gets lower cash compensation. Buy this got 4 airbag and abit safer then sedans when it comes to collisions...![]() |

Actually I'm being very serious with safety...
Hence I booked the Ford WildTrak and is just waiting for delivery... ps : I do take offense to you insinuating Toyota Vios is unsafe though.. |

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jul 25 2013, 04:05 PM) You'd be surprised that not all big tanks comes out better than sedans. A collision between a tank and a soft MPV resulted in the MPV having less intrusion into the cabin and test dummies came out in better condition. Hmm... cant access youtube in office...I'm sure we can find exceptions in every scenario... However, I do believe that in general driving that vs a B/C-segment sedan.... I would come out in a better condition... |

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jul 25 2013, 04:18 PM) The video shows a direct head on collision between a Range Rover tank and a soft MPV. Due to the softness of the MPV, the crumple zone absorbs and defects the forces around the driver. However, in the Range Rover, the tough chassis actually pushed the cabin into the driver, crushing the test dummy instead of saving him. Er... I used my phone to watch it....Are those 2 cars from the same period? Heck... I noticed the Range rover dont even have airbags lol |

QUOTE(kadajawi @ Jul 25 2013, 04:28 PM) The reason why the Espace won was because it is much more modern car. Again, this shows the difference between modern and old cars. I doubt the test says much more than that though. However pickups are usually designed as work horses. For employees, not for families. I wouldn't be surprised if there is less thought and money invested there to protect passengers than in a family car. +1Btw.: Isn't it nice that whenever they try to show a car is safer than another car, they use a Renault? I kinda suspected that.... The rover looks ancient... no airbags... like something out of the 70s lol |
