You might be surprised.

Both of our vehicles were full on green.

All good except roof strength.  Fit was Acceptable, CR-V was Marginal.

Amazing the FiT rates above a CRV, as the CRV is a much more mature model.

They must have had a quality issue temporarily.  The newer models are fine.

so my 2010 Hyundai has either "Marginal" side-impact protection OR "Good" depending on if it was built before or after 11/2009.  Now I'm really curious as to what date my car was made


also, Ober, what's up with this textarea's wonky width?  (I'm in Chrome 23)  See attached

For my Journey:  Green for 3 of them, no tests for small overlap, and no tests for my year for the head restraints (but the later years were also green)

I guess you didn't read the upgrade thread.  Clear your cache and you should be ok.

Chrysler 200
All green except for a yellow in "Small overlap front test results"

My jeep is half and half between green and orange...
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Odd you would think the Jeep would by its nature be a safe one.

My 2000 Kia is poor overall, but the 2004 Jetta is Green. :thumbsup:
