and with that said, THE safest car to drive(ALL things being equal) is a full size CAR. it's simple physics, plus the fact that more full size cars are loaded with safety features: more air bags, traction control, anti-lock brakes etc. still too many variables tho to go by stats alone: age/skill of the driver, location/type of impact, speed, etc. |

Oh I don't claim it to be perfect proof, or anything like that, but I did find it interesting.

i too do not advocate SUV ownership. in fact, i've never owned one. i wonder how many lives would be spared if trucks and SUVs were only owned by those that actually required one. perhaps SUV owners would drive more responsibly in a smaller vehicle. BTW, your title(of the thread) is right on the mark! |

Try running me over in a giant 5 mile square parking lot, you get a school bus, I have my VX, or maybe a 911 Turbo Carrera.
Smaller car drivers are covering their behinds. I saw 3 Toyota Land Cruisers at a salvage auction, none of them had hit anything significant, just rolled over. 1% of a 300 car auction. regards gary |

also as the owner of a compact, it feels and handles like a gokart, if i turn sharp the cars goign to react very quickly and make that turn. Or braking even as poor of a brake system as the chevettes had... it can still stop in a shorter distance with half my brakes working that a suv with all its brakes working... |
