MR_Loyale Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We don't have airbags, so how would our cars react in a crash? Here is a crash test video from 1985: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ouch - that steering wheel probably broke his nose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 They should have had the dumbie's hands bracing against the wheel. More realistic that way. Still would be pretty bad. I've seen the effects of a 40mph crash head on into a tree in a EA82 body. Come to think of it that guy did break his nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 If you go to youtube and look at their other videos they do a few older subarus. Most of which look like they would hurt equally. And I also no longer believe the spare tire would help anything, you can clearly see the dashes being shoved into the passenger compartment by the spare.

1 Lucky Texan Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 probably no worse than other cars form the mid 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobiedubie Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It looks like the seatbelt is completely worthless, as it extended another 8 inches or so after initial impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
