Fifth Gear Crashes - Part 3

The third and last post of the crash test series kills the myth that bigger cars will always perform better in crashes than smaller cars. It shows that if an old big car crashes into a modern supermini, the driver runs serious life-threatening risks when being in the older car.

Of course this does not apply to modern big cars, but when buying a used car, it is surely something to consider: whether to buy a recent supermini or an old station wagon, for example. I would much rather be in the supermini, not only for safety reasons, but also because it is cheaper to run and easier to park.
