Impreza crash/saftey tests
 

How do they hold up/rate in a heavy impact? esp would like to find out how safe the early classics are, cant find any info anywhere on the net :wonder:

This bad crash in Manchester has got me thinking just how safe is my 3 year old son in the back.

Classics have side-impact beams in front and rear doors, but I'm pretty sure the first ever 'N-cap' test for any Scoob was the 2009 model, so no idea how safe compared with other cars.

I looked into this a while ago, will try to post links if I saved any.

Thanks mate, would be much appreciated :thumb:

Cheers, 4 out of 5 on a front impact isnt too bad, shame there's nothing about side/rear impact or roll safety.

Side Impact - Telegraph Pole at circa 90mph

Fire crew said it would have been death in a car with a less solid shell.
Pins in the left arm and leg and about 6 months later he was right as rain, they are solid cars!

:eek:

I know, she was a beauty before he got hold of her too ...
