May I ask about the safety rating of Honda Civic? I've got a 2008 model. Many people said it is safe.

Hyundai accent has ALWAYS had a dreadful reputation for occupant safety...look at the NCAP ratings for the previous Hyundai Accent -1 star!! Hyundai and Kia safety record in the past 15 years is amongst the worst of any car manufacturer. I have studied car accidents and ocular trauma/head trauma at a university level. I have seen patients with extensive injuries in car accidents. Can i ask what background or research you have in this area? Or perhaps you are a hyundai/kia sales person?!

It does give me an insight into car injuries and no doubt gives a more informed and professional opinion than yourself. Saying that you don't need to be a doctor to see there are going to be some serious injuries resulting from an accident in this car and indeed most hyundai and kia's for that matter.

Excuse me, i am an Optometrist and working in a hospital i am familiar with patient injuries in car accidents.

Frontal impact = broken neck/rib fractures - lung puncture - possible death depending on swiftness of emergency services. Side impact = major internal injuries, ruptured spleen/spinal column severed = death. You do not purhcase these hyundai/kia cars for safety..they are basic A to B transportation, the price is reflected in the lack of research and development.

Because all depends on the market....in US it is standard to have all the airbags....otherwise, the car cannot be sold in US, in other countries that is not standard, 2 frontal airbags are good, in othe countries, sometimes, the cars can be sold with no airbags like in Latin America. I am from Panama, and we have almost all cars, with and without airbags, it depends on us if we can pay the price for having airbags. At least Hyundai offers them with airbag here in Panama.

Volvo kadar sağlam olmasını beklememek gerek ama şehir içindeki ufak tefek kazalarda diğer otomobiller gibi kolay ezilmiyor, kaportası sağlam. Büyük kazalarda can güvenliği de pek az gözükmüyor ama videoda da araba kağıt gibi buruşmuş.
