it said that a person probably wouldn't survive a 64 km/h impact

The only thing that I find inaccurate about crash tests is that they drag the car with a cable rather than running it into the obsticle under its own power. I think that a car would act much differently in the event that the engine was running and there was a load on the drive train.

Thats not true... those tests are Very acurate. Drivetrain load plays no part in the test

That car is a piece of shit.

Jscotty, care to explain the physics behind that one?

I think what he meant is that the inertia of the drive train other than the wheels rotating would still try to drive the car forward for a fraction of a second. I don't think it would though considering everything, that is as accurate and replicable of a test as can be with a cable or some sort of towing device

[thectrlguy]

Clearly, the organizations conducting said tests are full of highly intelligent engineers. If they realized discrepancies in their testing methods (propulsion methods) it would stand to reason they would conduct tests in that fashion.

Looks familiar...

haha, you're right. i didn't know they made 02s in china. i better tell blunt.

[thectrlguy]

That's a great looking 02, is it yours?

[Sean]

Wow. That's just AMAZING looking at the comparison.

That 3 series is amazing. WOW, the drivers comparment DID NOT BUDGE! DAMN!

[ptownTSI]

well don't get in a crash with a cheap chinese car! you're still safer than being on a motorcycle.

[amdspitfire]

damn the crash test on the e90 looked perfect

Well this brings again the same issue I always argue about, here are some cars.

1993 Daewoo:



Chevrolet/Suzuki Aveo
