also that door, that guys loves so much, I like to see it in a side impact test. I agree with not letting my kids ride around in one , and I don't have kids.
but what do I know, I ride around a motorcycle on the weekend.

I wasn't suggesting that you would actually survive a crash like that, just that it was surprising how well the shell of the car remained intact. It wasn't a marketing video it was a test carried out by 5th Gear, a UK TV motoring programme. I personally wouldn't want to have a crash in one!
