TT crash result
#1
At work today in A&E treated a couple who were airlifted from M* to hospital after a high speed smash at more than 70mph.
Car was totalled as it had been side-swiped and flipped at high speed into central reservation. Both occupants had minor injuries only - prehospital team say it was the structural strenght of the car that saved them.
What would happen in an Impreza - do they do well in crashes.

I have had an incident in a Classic MY00 and held up well but I beleive that the new Bug eyed shape is quite stonger hence the extra weight IMHO
This was on the track where all hard objects are covered with tyres and sand traps not like lamp posts, gates and cars comming the other way the Saftey car was there before we were out of the car and the Ambulance was there before we reached the edge of he track
There is a time and a place not trying to preach

Had a triple (or maybe 4) roll in my previous MY99.
Not a single scratch, didn't even notice that I rolled over until I stepped out and looked at the car ''dammit where's my rear wing, rear bumper and front bumper gone?''

I'll back this up. The old shape is definately tough.
I had a jack knifed lorry ram me on the M1 (over a year ago) when I was in an MY96. Most of the car took a pounding but it stood up really well. Impressively strong cars.
