You can let your face hit the fucking steering wheel and the glass cut all over your body but no matter what happens don't let go of your cigar!!!

gosh I have the exact same car. Kinda makes me want to go down to the garage and hug my little vehicle!

I had a 2007 mazda 3, i crashed doing 120km/h, flipped it end over end, ripped the engine and front wheels out in the crash. . . . and walked away without a scratch! very safe cars!

[alteclansing3333]

watch the video 'Mazda 3 mps crash Alex ', the car's safety cell was breached all the way inside after a side impact, if there had been a front passenger, theyd have been killed no doubt, just watch the vid, then you'll know that ncap is probably a con job

No wonder he crashed ..... he's smoking

Did the windshield even break? I don't understand why they had the driver side window down in the test.. it should've been up.
