Frontal crash test toohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v...latedThe car does a pretty good job! I see why they have the side curtain airbags.

Pretty good on the frontal crash test.No deformation of the cabin whatsoever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...latedThat's 35mph?!?!! Eeek, while the cabin stayed safe, the front of the car is gone, I'd hate to see what happens at 50mph.

even worse if you think about it is that in a 35 mph zone, two cars going in opposite direction 35mph + 35mph = 70mph crash 55mph zone is equivalent to a 110mph impact if two cars are going in opposite direction upon impact...lesson? wear your seatbelt!!!!

Holy freakin' whiplash, batman! And how's dummy's cranial air conditioning?

The windshield in that frontal crash didn't break!!!

Really good when they are crashed against the same size car.. which is how they're tested.. but what about a larger car.. such as..Toyota Camry vs. Toyota Yarishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GKCAQCcdEAOr the Honda Accord vs. Honda Fithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaBuy1T69kQOh.. and last but not least.. Mercedes C Class vs. Smart fortwo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...latedSTEER CLEAR OF LARGER CARS!!

I saw a person who was DRIVING and had their foot out the window

We have a good 10-12 hour drive at the end of the month but her 8 month pregnant self will be in the back seat and we are lowering the front passenger seat in the Vibe flat for her to keep her legs elevated.

Excellent. That is what I tell people to do all the time. If you have to stretch out, that is much safer. I make my wife put her feet back on the floor when she does it.Whenever there is someone else in the car with me I prefer them in the back. That way, I don't have to look around them when I am crossing traffic.
