While browsing an autoblog article I noticed our cars had the best crash ratings in the test....after the spark, lol. I would not have guessed.

Looks like a side impact is no bueno

Side impact is "acceptable" from what I could find.

I'd say. One of our members from Indonesia was riding in his friends Mazda 2 when he hit a curb at around 60mph, flipped over twice and they both survived with minimal inquiries. The Mazda 2 didn't do so bad either.

Two lucky ass dudes!

I don't think I would be as happy as those two guys if I had just crashed my car like that :/. But I guess life happens...better to face it with a smile, eh?

On another note, I would rather sustain bodily injury than have a Chevy Spark. Anyone with me on that?

It'll buff out, might have to re-torque the lugs though.

Shortens the turning radius

Shortens the turning radius

Not to mention makes it much easier to parallel park.
