Crash Test 2005 - 2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / Golf (Side Impact) IIHS

[stevecoster007]

i was involved in an accident in a golf and it saved my life (the car was totalled but i did not have a scratch on me). now i am a proud owner of another vw. yes you pay more than the japanese/korean econoboxes but you get what you pay for. 

[youspic]

im so proud to be a VW owner (06 2.5) but i just wish they got better gas mileage :((

oh well safety > mpg

[XxBakerxX72]

Wow, this is literally the most controlled side impact I've ever seen.

It looked like the dummy just shrugged it off instead of having his neck flying in the opposite direction.

I want a VW....I just have an 01 civic..

THE MIRROR!! NOOOOOOOO

[NewYorkCityBoy123]

I'm not going to lie, this was probably the best crash test I have EVER seen. That beats all of the BMW's and Audi's ... This is just amazing ... Volkswagen rocks ..

[SteveWhiteVWAudi]

those curtain airbags are a life saver for sure. I wish i would have had them in the old 95 sentra i had a wreck in! would have kept all that glass from hitting me. rated you 5 stars

[Chowy1000]

Wow crash test videos are greattttaaa. I like this video because it is a greattaaa class... Greattttaa classs!

[underlinedbluetext]

wow... i didn't know my car had a curtain airbag. thats a damn good idea if you ask me....

[wheelmanvw]

Very glad to drive one after seeing this (well, a Rabbit).

[AmuHiinamori]

dinyo ba alam na mahal ang kotse?

[Shocked6302]

Took a side impact @ 55mph in an 09 Jetta TDI, with minor injuries. Thankfully the tool that ran the red light was driving a Suzuki Vitara which weighs less. It folded like an accordion. The Jetta held up pretty well considering how fast the guy was going. Glad I wasn't in a Prius.

[2000jeepsahara]

yeah vw makes some safe cars wih side airbags standard in almos all models. I love how its a considered a compact but when you close the drivers door it sounds like your closing the door on a bank vault.

[blazejewski]

yea man, i own one it sounds like your closing the lid on a tank.....

[thedarkone2134]

@2000jeepsahara When I got my Jetta the first thing I noticed was how heavy and strong the door felt compared to most cars I've driven.

[VWTDI92]

@2000jeepsahara I'm a freshman in college. My friends and I went out in my Jetta TDI and one of them complained how heavy the door felt. It's not a complaint for me. I love my VW.

[blazejewski]

or a smart

[SergeLarose]

Very good compared to some other vehicles I've seen... Where you see the interior front driver seat almost detach from the base - In this video you clearly see the VW Jetta's driver seat stays in better position and still maintains the driver/passenger protection with the higher door panels and side curtain / side airbag !

Ok. I live in the US of course, and there's a guy in my neighborhood who has a Bora wagon. I'm pretty sure it came from a different country.
