@superpianoplayer47 Have you ever seen a crash test on any of GM's minivans? IIHS rates it the worst car they've ever tested. Very high risks of fatality.

we all know honda wins

@superpianoplayer47 Dictionary, use it. Secondly, the Venture has an absolutely horrible crash test. "Foreign" cars, generally have great crash tests. American cars, generally cheap out on airbag safety, even though Ford came out with it. Perfect example, is Volvo, look at all their crash tests 95% of them are rated good.

I would drive that Accord any day...

@superpianoplayer47 I'm not usually one to prove someone wrong, but you need to do research on the Venture. It's on of the worst vehicles in a crash test, ever. Go to the IIHS website and check out /watch?v=HDQrPnAhSmI If you've never heard on the IIHS then that's half your problem. Seriously, for you and your passengers safety, get into a different van ASAP.

even though this test is faster the iihs uses a barear so the cars dont keep moving

What the hell is with the venture's passenger airbag?

@superpianoplayer47 Ya sure? check out IIHS's crash test of the montana. the floor and structure came back 19 in. It took Gm what 30-40 extra years to put in seat belts. 1951 seatbelts rolled out.
