i didnt even think it was possible to get a zero. why dont they just get rid of the seatbelts and airbags and save some more money.

[sensibleS13driver]

um, you got a little frame damage there buddy

[swwifty]

ouch, your dead.

[5seryan]

Population control maybe. anyways thats just wonderful.

Chinese cars are terribly made, Cherry, Geely, any of those brands. My cousin in China owns a Geely Hatchback. Its sports a 1.05 litre engine and is the most poorly made hunk of crap I've ever seen. Its only a few years old and the rear passenger door has trouble closing.

When he I told him I owned a nissan he was rather impressed. And this guy is a doctor. I'd hate to live in china.

haha this is too cool!

very good find

[GripR]

omg, i can't believe that car is already being sold in europe...

The best part is how completely worthless the airbag is. Your head hits it, then the entire dash and steering column swing back at you.

You are the crumple zone!

Why would a country allow the sale of this car within their borders?

[Fenvy]

china is jumping on the "everything is made in china bandwagon"

[Scooby24]

wow..the chinese are smart... :-/

[574-240sx]

Dam thats horrible. I guess they are down there with mitsu.

[scorsone]

It looks like you could total that car with a speed bump. Seeing that crash makes me feel safe in my s13.

[thekawaii]

wait. how come s13 got higher score than s14?s13 has no air bag, s14 does have.

hm..... popup headlight is somehow useful? LOL

Wrong thread I'm guessing?

[Nismo_Freak]

Must have stolen some front crast test secrets from Fords F150

[float_6969]

Iniertia my friend. S14's are pigs compared to the S13. Especially my 2500lb S13 coupe. Ok, so maybe I'm full of crap...

[One_Love]

its true, s13 have better test scores

[KDashy]

S14's are not that much heavier than S13's. Now that we got that out of the way, I dont know the reason for why it has better test results (driver only) but its possible that they raised standards in the duration of that generation from the test results I pulled (91' and 95'), Perhaps the test results are closer for the years 94' and 95, or maybe the standards are higher for cars with airbags, since if you're not wearing your seatbelt, the airbag can kill you.

wow.. talk about trying to save money.. damn chinese. their economy is just looking for profit anyway. i mean u at least have to spend money to make money, which is what they are doing just... in small doses.

[S14tat]

yikes, i feel bad for the person who gets into an accident with that. and damn i was laughing and thinkin the word "OWNED" when i was watching the video.

anyways, this is really sad cause i'm chinese too and they dare come out with crap like that and try to sell it to other people.
