These are IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). IIHS tests vehicles that are sold in the US to their specific standards and gives them a ranking for safety. Because their purpose is to improve/demonstrate vehicle safety to the consumer they choose to evaluate vehicles that sell in larger volumes to guide…

MR2 owner here. Can confirm, will be remortgaging my house in a year or so.
Legitimate question. How well does that trailer do with longer dimensional lumber? I’ve been thinking of something similar for my hatchback.
This is fairly troubling. In general a PPAP (production part approval process) cannot be marked complete for vehicles that are not built on 100% production tooling and assembly processes. If parts are being hand fit to vehicles and put in the hands of customers as sale ready cars it’s toeing the line of safety…
Came here for this.
If you keep your eye out you can occasionally find a Volvo C70 of either gen in your price range.
250k mile Mk4 TDI will not do 100
So after the federal tax credit it costs $1,500 more than the Volt? Which offers more than double the range and doesn’t look like....that thing?
Wait until you decide to keep it so long that you replace it a second and third time!
Surprisingly, when I picked up my MR2 it fit nicely with the engine forward of the rear axle on the uhaul trailer. It towed pretty well, I was a bit nervous with it being the first time towing anything over 1000lbs (and a rental truck and trailer with my new-to-me car)
That wouldn’t surprise me. Most manufacturers can get 3 proper barrier tests out of a vehicle. (Even NHTSA does this to an extent)
Halp! I’m stuck in the grey.
He’s right about one thing. They are certainly capable of going toe to toe with Tesla on quality.
Hey I have both of those things! I also have an iphone though..
Airbags are a supplemental restraint system (SRS). They work with the seatbelt, not instead of it.
Half of you people are major buzzkills. This looks like a shitload of fun.
Yes so if you're reversing that and calculating miles per gallon where gallon is on the bottom (miles/gallons) you would multiply by imperial gallons over us gallons 7.5*7.5/9.007=6.25
Even on non roof airbag cars (Convertibles) Look up FMVSS 201u Requirements.
What do you inflate your tires to...? Shit, I inflate mine to 3o psi.....
