Exclamation safety

when buying a new car do you ever look up the safety features and ncap rating or do you just look for peformance and handling?

compare this chinese car (probably less than a one star :/ watch where the steering wheel ends up and what position the drive would be in)

to a five star freelander

it even goes for small cars which you would think along the lines of 'your knees are the crumple zones

an A3 (for waynne ) you have a pretty safe ride 4 stars

(watch the roof in this one )

i personaly would go for a mix of the two. after seeing some of those i dont think i will really in all honesty get a car thats under 3 star :/
because you dont know what other people on the road are going to do and there are some idiots out there who dont know how to control there car but STILL drive like they stole it. :/ makes you think
