Impressive. In a lab test, but what are the odds of an accident happening excactly like this? Dummies sit optimal, but how many drivers do that? Oh, I can perfectly well see it performs well, but how many would hit a barrier excactly that deformable with excactly 40% offset and excactly 64 km/h? But I guess all tricks can be used to promote the car in ads...
@AndersO1983 It's considered the most suitable angle to test cars. You have to pick a standard so that you can test cars against each other. It's obvious that accidents never take place like this - that's not the point. It's a baseline. The Civic is an incredible car from a safety perspective. Accidents over 30 mph were nearly always fatal in the 1950s. Nowadays people walk away from the same accidents with a bit of whiplash. And finally, this isn't a promotional video .. at all.
@JordsterMovies I never once said this video was promotional - that's a lie. But in all the Auto magazines I read, the manufactures promote their cars showing the number of stars (1-5) with the picture. Yes it's a baseline, but still (apart from the chinese crap bin tests) I'd say it's a vauge one, and you don't necessarily have to believe the car to be generally safe (also, what about ABS - ESP "quality"comparing brands to eachtother?) based on a Euro NCAP, ADAC or IIHS test.

I'm quietly impressed, especially that such a huge windscreen stayed largely intacted!

Yep. The base Civic and R-type are only the larger, more powerful engine and sportier suspension.

@ryudakera
