Date: May 25th, 2018 12:36 PM Author: obsidian corner I can get why marginal improvements in reliability are important to a consumer, but how about marginal improvements in safety? What exactly does it mean to be in an SUV that's rated as slightly safer? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3828852&forum_id=2#36126128) |

Date: May 25th, 2018 12:39 PM Author: Supple gas station Most of the safety score differences now are who has the better lane keep assist, emergency breaking and blindspot monitoring. All the chassis are more or less equivalent. Though in the past three years there have been pretty big improvements in chassis regidity. A 2018 Elantra is 30% more ridged than a 2014.

Date: May 25th, 2018 12:51 PM Author: silver effete spot why do you think they're negligible? being slightly better in a crash test isnt negliglbe at all (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3828852&forum_id=2#36126223) |

Date: May 25th, 2018 12:53 PM Author: obsidian corner why not?
i have no idea what the fuck that means. explain it. what's the practical, real-world implication of a car being slightly better in a crash test |

Date: May 25th, 2018 12:54 PM Author: silver effete spot idk, if someone crashes into you at a higher speed, the car keeps you safer instead of rolling over or crumpling? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3828852&forum_id=2#36126244) |

Date: May 25th, 2018 12:55 PM Author: obsidian corner i see. so the cars on the safer list will stay upright and intact and the others will flip and be crushed into an unrecognizable mass? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3828852&forum_id=2#36126250) |

Date: May 25th, 2018 12:54 PM Author: metal lake library laser beams Presumably these ratings include preventative measures as noted above The meaning is a (hopefully) reduced probability of injury, whether through prevention or in a crash itself |

Date: May 25th, 2018 1:03 PM Author: startled bespoke sanctuary Did anyone actually look at the safety ratings? It appears the difference is almost entirely attributable to headlights and ease of use of child seat anchors. LOL (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3828852&forum_id=2#36126326) |
