Test Drive Tube / Honda

Acuras are some of the safest cars sold, and when was the crash?

The airbag deployed from the steering wheel as well as both curtains, however the dummy only hit the steering wheel airbag in the Accord. On the Fit, the curtain, side, and steering wheel airbag deployed for the driver dummy.

Very rare that side air bags deploy in a frontal crash BOTH cars had them go off The Accord had ALL bags activate?

Each car is travelling at 40mph.

the fit didn't do as bad as the yaris in this test.

Help me Honda fans, the Honda haters are attacking my channel because I said the Corvette sucks! Sub me so I can fight them with numbers!

watchout with honda window switch.... they can start fired your car!

yeah but I just saw a commercial of Acura MDX that diverts the energy of the crash around the vehicle so that the cabin is safe. Do you think that's true? It sounds pretty complex though.

Yup you are 100% correct. I know someone who was on a 2009 TL SH-AWD and was involved on a head on collision with a ford F150, and the car was total but holy sht she didn't even had one scratch except for a little back pain. The driver of the truck had multiple broken bones and he was driving drunk in the wrong side of the road. Poor TL such a hot car and it was scary to see the car after the crash. Btw she got a brand new 2010 TL SH-AWD this year.

yeah your right but dont they have that kind of steel that collapses in certain places to allow force to be directed around the vehicle? i thought it did but im not sure

@crimdell Yeah, I think the crumple-barrier crash is the best because every car hits the same target. It makes comparisons fairer and more accurate. Car-on-car crash tests are only fair if you make use of the exact same target car for all comparisons.... That could be a little pricey.

Honda Fit should be Marginal instead of Poor beacuse of air curtain and less intrution then Yaris

the fit should have done better , needs more reinforcement from the A-pillar to then end of the car, did alot better then the yaris :(

are you fucken retarded fucken the car crumbles to shit well worth less shit now

Yeah, considering that the test was against a car that weighs about 1/3 more than the Jazz/Fit.

@profcj1969 How about a Ford Expedition vs. a Mini Cooper. That would be a very useful test.

I think they should crash a Lincoln Navigator into a Porsche 911 Turbo. That would be money well spent.

@crimdell Give it up dude, revaholic is a moron who can't read.

I like how Honda was the only of the cars who's SIDE AIRBAGS deployed

@chap8938 how about a realistic crash would be. cars in the same class but not the same model... Perhaps a Fit vs Versa..hmm Accord vs Fusion ... Accord vs Tree..??

@revaholic OMG. I am talking about THIS test. The one where they crash two cars of different classifications against each other. I would be interested in the one where they "crash all cars into the same deformable barrier." But that is not THIS test. My only point is that THIS test is useless. Again, what's the point if we already know what is going to happen?

Again, no. Do you even know what the IIHS does? They crash all cars into the same deformable barrier. This particular test, as with the one with the Yaris/Camry and Smart/C-Class, is to demonstrate how a smaller car behaves in a crash with a larger car. There were only three of these tests done.

Oh, I get it. Crashing a Fit into an Accord lets me know how safe a Fit is in comparison to a Yaris. Yeah, makes perfect sense now.

@crimdell That was exactly the point of this test. You would know if you had done more research.

this is almost as bad as the camry vs yaris crash but the fit was not damaged as bad as the yaris. it still got a poor rating
