ZX5's rule.
it's just a known fact. :P
coupled with a few extra airbags, hell, I'm driving a 2600lb brick of crash-deployed pillowy goodness.

I watched the news again. The word used to describe the Neon was "disasterous".

It's getting to the point I stay on the floor I've been :rofl: so much lately. I love this place!

i don't need to see a crash test to know what will happen if i ever get tboned by a SUV or pickup.. the top of the front bumper of some of the larger vehicles is ABOVE the door sill of my car.. i'd be toast for sure..

I glad my SVT is the ZX5 model.
Did they test the any Focus with side airbag?

Probably not. Too small a sample size for there testing. Of all "compacts", body styles and varients out there they only did 15 cars. For example no Subarus of any kind were tested, though they generally do well. (I talk about testing more in the other post )
On the news they showed the Neon or Toyota after pic. The "B" pillar seperated from the floor!" That aint good. It was such a mess I couldn't tell if it was a Neon or Toyota.

I personally am not looking forward to the side bags deploying. The thought of an airbag using the side of my head to slow the implosion doesn't sound like a great time.
