Yup,
They make very reliable cars but if I hit you in my Dodge you probably wouldn't survive. They just aren't safe. Louise was rear ended in hers & it did $8000 damage to her car from a 30mph accident. She's been in phisiotherapy for 2 years!
I know they say they rate well in crash tests but until they start testing them crashing into bigger vehicles...their tests mean nothing.
They say a Smart car is one of the safest cars built. How do you think they'd fare in a head on collision with an M37?
The Honda & Acura are very reliable...I'll give you that.
