Fifth Gear Crash-test Volvo 940 estate vs Renault Modus

Talk about apples vs. oranges.

Well done Modus!! :)

Except that this video proves you wrong on all counts. The Modus blatantly wins over a 1992 Volvo, so you are outright lying. A modern Volvo probably would beat the Modus, you'd certainly hope so given how much more expensive a Volvo would be. The point of the video is that age is more important than size or price - the tools just didn't exist to understand collisions properly in the 1980s.

This program is made by a private company, not the government. What possible motive would there be to bias it? Also, large cars do not take significantly more road space, because the gap between cars is much larger than the cars themselves, and that is dependent on speed only. Finally this does not claim that a new small car is safer than a new large car - generally they are not - only that 12 years of safety engineering progress is much more useful than being a bit bigger and heavier.

what's the catchy tune at 1:00

I had an old volvo 244 I was rear ended by a jeep , the whole front end of the jeep looked as though a giant had hit it with an ax but my volvo only has a broken tail light cover.

that is mad watching the slow motion bit

What about the fact that Modus bounced of so much that the driver would hardly survive the hit, or at least with a broken spine. With no external injuries, of course...

Er the Renault is French and the Volvo is swedish no Yank tanks here? No Left hand drives either
