Here's How Shockingly Far Car Crash Safety Has Come In 20 Years
This video shows a direct comparison between the impact safety of the latest Honda Jazz versus a Rover 100 from 1997, and the difference is astonishing
This is the sort of video that stops you buying a budget banger. Euro NCAP has been testing cars’ crash impact safety for 20 years, and to mark the milestone has released this footage comparing one of its original tests to one of its latest.
Taking two small cars; 1997’s Rover 100 and today’s Honda Jazz, the direct comparison via split-screen footage is a serious reminder of why buying the newest car you can afford is always a safer idea. Unless it’s a Mustang, it seems.
Watch the video and make your own mind up. Let us know whether this film gets you in the feels, or whether you’re just too much of a maverick to care.

And the number of deaths on the road is decreasing thanks to speed cameras obviously.

Rover’s airbag is useless.
It’s there for looks. After the crash, when the driver has a crushed skull, it’s so the Rover can say “Well, I tried”
No passenger airbag?? Because weight reduction bro
see a rover is a bad example here, youd die looking at one. Have them do it again with a late 90’s civic and the jazz, at least then its within the same lineage
And im just here driving my 33 year old Quattro at 200kph…well then
Steering wheel: “Get the F away from me cuz”
There is no way that the Saab conceived the Rover, the roof for one is far to fragile to ever have Saab oil running through its engine
Waaauv one year and opel made the astra G also known as Vauxhall Astra G 1998, it’s not the most exciting car but it’s way safer than the Rover
Yeah, my dad had that. 4EuroNCAP stars, like the Volvo S60 of my uncle
You know its great when you completely miss the airbag
