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.

bro, actually want to ask u long time ago.
what will ur safety car react when making u-turn over speed like 60-80kph.
will understeer. oversteer. flip over. spin over. or other answers?

as i still dont understand how a car can flip like turtle on the road

Never tried that, though I'd expect understeer. I think It'd corner better than a car without stability control though.

actually using stability control can made it at 60kph. impresive stunt performed by local fwd car. not sure that fella step on brake.

perhaps the limit has raised even higher now.

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. nod.gif
