I think the moral of the story is, don't run your car into anything.

1:28, How did that cost $700+? I would have just laughed at the ding and drove off...

Love how they ramped up all the tests after promoting how "safe" the mazda is....3mph on all runs for the Mazda except the 6mph rear impacts but for the rest of the cars tested all 6mph on all test runs....Can we say FIXED OUTCOME.....lol pathetic and bias...

that little cute accident cost ~1000$ ???

so if one of these cars hit a tree @60m/h

how much would it cost ?

Yay I love crash test

This testing makes no sense. Even if the car being hit is stopped, it is still going to absorb much more of the impact through its suspension alone then a metal bar connected to a concrete wall.
