Most Small Cars Aren't Economical for Crash Repairs Ford Foc

Most Small Cars Aren't Economical for Crash Repairs Ford Focus Performs the Best;
Rabbit and Prius are the Worst in Low-Speed Bumper Tests Low-speed collisions happen every day in commuter traffic and parking lots. These "fender benders" end up costing car owners a lot of money and aggravation because the bumpers on many cars aren't designed to handle what should be a no-damage event.

In a series of crash tests, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently assessed how well the bumpers of 20 small car models would protect the vehicles from damage in low-speed collisions. The worst performers are the Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Prius, and Volkswagen Rabbit - each sustaining about $4,000 damage or more in a single test. The Ford Focus performed the best, with about one-third that amount of damage in its worst test.

The damage was probably inside the bumper where the metal strut may have been bent.

My car got hit on the rear bumper by a Volvo Wagon while sitting at a traffic light. Didn´t even get out of my car to check the damage because i knew there wasn´t any. Real cars have steel bumpers.
