CNN reports: Small Nissan Versa aces crash tests. We like the Versa. It's cheap (more or less), roomy, and apparently safe! Woohoo! Of the three we checked out (Fit, Yaris, Versa) we liked the seats in the Versa the best.
If you want to check out your car (or an upcoming purchase), visit the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's site. They haven't reviewed every model (no Mazda5 for example), but they do give you the skinny in chart form.
You gotta be careful with the Versa, however. Nissan didn't see fit include all the safety equipment as standard (weak and stupid of Nissan), so make sure you check all the appropriate boxes before purchasing.
Doesn't matter. Maybe if the Versa hits a Civic head on, the airbags may help.
But how many 6,500lb large SUV's are driving around with a woman on the cell phone, putting on her makeup, with 3 kids in the back seat.
One t-bone from that lady and goners.
Yes ladies, soccer moms, MILFs, whatevers. You are dangerous out there.
Only us guys have the right to drive big vehicles because we don't spend all day on the phone and wear makeup.
