IIHS-HLDI: Toyota Corolla
IIHS-HLDI: Honda Civic

While they're both given A for acceptable ratings, taking "brand loyalty" out of the equation, which one would you rather crash in?

BrutalB83

I'd rather crash in neither. I'd rather crash in a humongous fucking SUV with A+ five-star crash test ratings. But guess what? I don't want to pay the gas bills or the insurance bills and I just don't really like driving huge vehicles on a daily basis. Pick either one, it doesn't really matter. The ratings are very similar, so I don't really know what you're asking for here or why you bothered to even post those links. We're not privy to any secret crash test data on those cars that you can't look up yourself...

If you choose to drive a compact car then you're going to sacrifice some degree of safety for the benefits of gas mileage, that's just a simple fact. You have to decide whether or not the much-improved fuel economy is worth the slight compromise in safety. For me, it is. I don't waste my life away worrying about whether or not I'm going to be in a fatal car accident on any given day of the week...if you do, then maybe you should buy a bigger vehicle...

And yes, I realize this is the same shit we already told you in your other thread, but you don't seem to be getting it, so I don't see what else there is to do but explain it one more time and hope it finally sinks in...

But it probably won't...

I chose the civic. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Toyota.

Buy a Volvo and get over it already. Shit happens and worrying about it like you are is just going to give you a painful ulcer.

If uit makes you feel any better, I already have a stomach ulcer, though it was induced by school, not me worrying.

Why would that make me feel better? You're a worry wart and it's going to make you a very unhappy person in years to come. Very, unhappy.

you're supposed to try and live life to it's fullest, not cower in a corner because you're afraid you could die at any minute.

But that doesn't mean we're saying you should take unnecessary risks. We're just saying don't live life always being afraid of dying. Don't look for death, but don't be afraid of it either.

You guys are fucking childish, to say I shouldn't worry about these things is simply childish. You won't be singing that same tune 10-20yrs from now I'm sure of it, or well unless of course you have nothing to live for. I'm pretty sure for you guys you don't even consider crash test ratings, why else would you berate me for even considering this?

get_nick

have you guys ever heard stories about how preventive measures effect the future. for example, if you buy a big and safe 80's sedan, the brakes will be worn out and you'll crash through a wall.

it always happens like that. if it's your time to go, you're gonna go.

take the bus if you're so damn concerned.

We're not berating you for crash test ratings, you tool. It's because you're acting like a know-it-all and refusing to listen to reason. If you're this concerned about surviving a crash, buy a Volvo and get over your inexplicable need for a Civic.

I have more to live for than you do, so don't even bring that shit to me.
