That's cool - thanks!

Looks like my old Rover 100 was obviously not very safe - http://www.euroncap.com/tests/rover_100_1997/11.aspx

The Fiesta i have now fares a little better - http://www.euroncap.com/tests/ford_fiesta_1997/8.aspx

2 stars.

I live life on the edge.

4 Stars, not that I care, its useless and meaningless as the data is incomprable between classes and only relevent if I hit another car the same size as mine. It's also affected by things as meaningless as a seatbelt beeper - the E60 5 Series went from 4 stars to 5 stars after BMW added a bong if your seatbelt isn't on. Pathetic.

NCAP is a bit like Windows Vista's "Experience Index". Completely meaningless and inaccurate.

Whilst the overall score is odd due the them including passive safety into the overall score rating.... But the dummy loadings are correct and these are what you should look at since it shows what actual protection is offered to you.

Also all classes of car are crashed at the same speed into the same object are they not?

Front impact

Each car tested is subjected to an offset impact into an immovable block fitted with a deformable aluminium honeycomb face.

Side impact

The second most important crash configuration is car to car side impact. Euro NCAP simulates this type of crash by having a mobile deformable barrier (MDB) impact the driver’s door at 50 km/h.

Just don't crash!

Don't plan on it.

3 Stars, not bad

 

[paradigm]

I'm not on there, but then again there is only one of me, so it is no doubt they haven't crash tested me into a wall yet.

Not sure why I'd want "my" ncap rating anyway

 

[Aero]

3 stars but apparently it failed on the side impact *gulp* no more blindly crossing cross roads for me then....

The more interesting question is who actually knew their car's rating without actually looking at the site?

I've got no idea about mine for either car.

How often do cars crash into solid concrete blocks? Not often IMO.

S2000 4 stars 27 score and 1 star and 6 for pedestrains.
