Crash test 2006 HONDA CIVIC

[yuning83]

Front window didn't crack? are you serious?!

[ClubPenguinMovies123]

ive got a 2007 honda civic, I gotta say, its pretty amazing. I got in a car crash on a busy highway with it, one guy cut me off, I turned HARD to the left, went across the other 4 lanes going the other way, and hit a pole! got bruised up but if I was driving my older car, would have broken a couple bones

[cyberhendrix]

@ClubPenguinMovies123 Sounds like you need to learn to drive.

haha, jk glad youre alright.

[calvinblinkee]

Hondas are so strong now.

[cyberhendrix]

@calvinblinkee actually theyre designed to be weak in certian areas so that the cars breaks and give to absorb the impact.

[calvinblinkee]

@cyberhendrix Yeah but their cars are still stronger compared to 15 year ago lol

[cyberhendrix]

@calvinblinkee All cars are "stronger" than they were fifteen years ago.

Hell look at Ford crash test videos and look how much they have improved.

[calvinblinkee]

@cyberhendrix Yes but there isn't a Ford in this video.

[cyberhendrix]

@calvinblinkee no shit,i was making a comparison.

[calvinblinkee]

@cyberhendrix Omg wai so serious.

[Fiilme]

honda civic all the way!!!!!!!! i have 2007 honda civic hybrid it rocks!

[browntowel67]

hd dvd quality

[jaffey2006]

honestly its no better than just plain old 780i

[cokacoolers]

this car is very awesome

[moopro88]

I hated my Honda civic because it used tooo much oil!!!

[eeiko321]

well why blame civic?

it uses too much 0il for two reasons

if the car is worn...the piston rings are worn and hence..more oil lost

new motors will use more oil till it wears-in......

[lilcrzytimmy]

well maybe your the one using too much oil (driving habits??) there are other factors taht can give you low gas mileage.

[moopro88]

I had 5 civics (86,91,91,92,94) all of them used more than 1 L oil evrey week!

[moopro88]

last year i go over to Toyota Corolla 89 xD , the oil level goes never down..( i just have to change it evry 20 000 km ) ( not refill it evrey 500km like the honda )

[cismok]

Really, using it in city cost more oil, but driving on free way, the fuel metre goes down slowly, about 6L/100KMS

[balkus1]

why did side airbags deploY?

[whattheheck1000]

it's not a good idea here, but they deployed due to the fact that the impact had some movement to the side.

[EpiDemic117]

it cushions impact all around.

[campesino87]

its a good car... but I dont like it... every where I see is a honda civic

[Furetgarcon]

it looks better after the crash then it did before =)

[indyschmidt]

Um, I'm not sure why the side airbags are deploying here. I had a 2006 Civic that I ran into a pole at 50mph and only my driver's airbag deployed, which subsequently threw my head up into the roof giving me a lovely bump for a week. It seems silly that every airbag went off in the car in this test. I think they purposely armed them to go off in this case because the real world doesn't agree with this scenario. I hit the pole dead-nuts center just as this test is showing...

[ksouljah23]

dude, howd u run into a pole? good thing ur fine but LOL

[newttyy]

probably because the impact is left corner side and its affecting the left side more - making the airbags deploy on the left side ... :| - wild guess.

[EpiDemic117]

"indyschmidt" t depends on were you got hit. there's sensors on the side of the door i believe or somewhere in that reason that senses impact and shielding when necessary. those are side airbags not ceiling airbags. And what the hell are you dooing running into a pole at 50 mph?

[indyschmidt]

I was basically cut off and lost control trying to avoid hitting the other driver. It was raining, I went off the side of the road and into a highway sign pole. I walked out though with only internal bleeding from the seatbelt, so they really aren't bad cars. In retrospect if I had just slammed on the brakes I probably would've been better off...

[EpiDemic117]

Ouch! that's gotta fucking hurt! as long as you are alive and breathing that's all that in the end of the day matters. This sort or reminds me of that roll over i got in. I was in a 92 toyota pickup and almost got killed with two scars left over on both of my hands after the accident. Its amazing how i didn't break any bone in my body and never have. and this was off a mountain! :(

[Jhensy2001]

As a 2008 owner, I kinda like those side airbags deploying all quick like that. Nice to know.

[ScionT2B]

Why do Hondas have airbags above the driver? isnt that bad for your neck?

[Coffeeismybestfriend]

I don't think so. Those are curtain airbags that prevent the passenger's head from hitting the window. Those kinds of airbags are starting to show up in many new cars. My '07 Camry has them.

[whattheheck1000]

I'm still curtainless.

[kotektorun]

I agree with Coffeismybestfriend. My Passat 99' has it too. This is not technical innovation ;)

[sayfaylo]

don't crash it...give it to me

[howee100]

If folks drive cars fast in an enclosed space, this kind of tragedy is inevitable.

Lets hope common sense will prevail in future.

[f22b1]

Alot safer than the corolla

[tofugiant]

Nice windshield...strong as rock.

[BeStressFree]

civic=safe

[zornfizza2]

beepbeep! how fast were they going?

[alexkvaskov]

40 miles per hour - 64 kilometres per hour

[sperare2]

i think i should lessen my speed then..

who drives 40 mph on a freeway? NONE

couldn't they test it a little faster so i could have an idea whats gonna happen.

[alexkvaskov]

well, current designs can't cope with speeds much faster than 40mph..

[manualtrans257]

neither could old designs

[alexkvaskov]

well, yes. but it is reasonable that if you are going about 60 mph on the highway, before an accident you will slam on the brakes. which will bring you down to about 50ish? you might stand a chance - good luck! ;)

[tlalotoani]

Well, if you have time to react, some accidents dont let you do much, normaly they occour when you less expect them, happened to me, I tought I was able to avoid the "dangers" of the road, and PUM!! I couln´t evade a drunk guy, only the car suffered.

[lcw288]

you will brake before u're going to crash right?

[loulew]

u shouldnt... thers less chance of footwell moving than the brake pedal moving

if ur in a higher speed crash dunn touch the pedals and extend ur legs, which saves ur knees but sacrifices ur feet and mabey lower legs lol

[Himom2032]

Old people drive 45 on the interstate.

[alexkvaskov]

well, i hope that crash test speeds will be raised..

[Firecube2426]

nice, even side airbags are deployed

[aril110]

nice....
