Look at this link;

even Suzuki Areo is much safer than our Pro!!!
I thought Protege waas one of the safest and... it's not.
Mazda3 must be a lot safer than that, living in Pinellas county ,Florida next to US HGWY 19 makes me worried with wife and 12months old son.

Well after a month in coma and a month and a half of rehabiltation. Also the police record stating that in Doctor Maroons professional opinion he won't be able to survive the night of June 26th, 2002.
I guess it did an ok job still though. When you think about how heavy the other vehicle was.

How's Mazda6 doing in the safety tests ?
We know that it will out handle and out price any competition.
How safe is it?
I think I did read somewhere that in Europe it did very well in crash tests, if it is really designed to rival 3series I hope it as safe as 3 series is.
I'M asking about the 6 because 3 may be very very similiar to it in terms od handling, safety and looks.

I saw something on crashes once and they said that for the Protege the worst place to get hit is in the front drivers side panel because the dash will cave on you and it is a high risk of injury to the left leg and ankle area. Either way I am glad that you are okay now!

Interesting, as two of the highly recommended picks faired the worst in the parking lot damage (backing into a post) test (used to rate bumper durability)...the Suzuki Aerio and Mini were at the bottom of that heap.

well that was very heroic of you to take a hit like that. At least you are okay. My grandmother was hit on that exact side where you got hit. and she shattered her pelvis and broke ribs...it was horrible.
