not entirely convinced about the 2 star rating.... I've seen and been involved in 2 accidents involving Scoobs, and also, the outcomes of people who've walked away from horrific rolls (widely posted on Scoobynet).....

I fail to see how it has the same star rating as, say a 99 Escort....

Granted the new-shape(s) are much higher - 4 star. And I will be purchasing a new one in a few years.

If I was going to have a crash, the Scoob is THE car I want to be in.....

Could be worse - check out the NCAP results for the Mitsubishi Lancer (1 1/2!!) - probably not the same as the Evo, but nevertheless!!!

Also, time to change my wife's Ford though (not only because of the rating, but coz it's sh1te!!! )

My MY98 has twin airbags, so I reckon it's more than ** ????
