Great performance in crash tests of EuroNCAP.

ESC test - did very well also

Compared to Lexus IS 300h, notice that the rear glass shattered (not in Mazda3).
Rear passengers will get lots of cuts from flying broken glasses.
Don't believe that Luxury cars are safer.

I am curious about how it will do with IIHS.org test.
Mazda6 did barely OK on small overlap test.
With 200lbs less, I hope Mazda3 will do better.

Good find and thanks for posting it!

Makes me a little sick to watch a car get destroyed like that over and over...

But it sure looks like a safe and cozy ride for the occupants.

Good for mazda, I feel pretty safe driving this car already

But yeah, poor cars having to go through this.
