I feel like theres some bias in the judging of these cars. I understand the scion was unavailable with ESC, but my problem is with the frontal crash test. Simply visually compare it with that of the cobalt, the scion has MUCH less intrusion and buckling of the frame and controls the dummy more. and we can tell that just by looking!!! yet it only recieves an acceptable rating as opposed to the cobalts good? WTF
Not trying to start another Ford. Chevy war here. But it amazes me how quickly safety is overlooked when purchasing a car. I am pro Ford. But for that very reason. Go ahead and look up the results for yourself. The Ford will come out better in the crash test than its chevy competitor... EVERY TIME!
@spraynpray the ford sounds it's horn because it has a pos crash alert system, so if you veered off the road and became unable to get out or contact anybody then the car sounds the pos crash alert system. instantly calling the emergancy services
That video was put together terribly. There is a reason certain bits are muted.
LOL @ Focus alarm going off when hit in the side.
After seeing that cobalt crunch in the middle, I'm glad I got rid of my Cavalier coupe. The sedan was rated worst pic for 10 years from IIHS, and as displayed here, GM makes a bad sedan, it's coupe is even worse!

Good to see that Ford's beefed up body structure helped the Focus score high marks for frontal/side impact. Makes it an all around excellent choice for a smaller car.
I always feel bad for the crash test dummies. They always risk there lives and for what? No one helps them with there hurt neck or hurt legs. :(

@jaffacake1578 nice input, a mercedes-benz invention- hardly anyone caught on

@Mcmerc01 ok, so prove to me that this 'mercades-benz' invention came out, and if it came out before ford's then let me know...
jaffacake1578 1 year ago
@jaffacake1578 Well, From what I know its an invention by MB. In 2002, I don't know what they call it, I think Emergency assist or something.

@spraynpraythe focus does that on purpose, it's to attract the attention of other passers by, incase you have crashed off of the road.
