Prius Safety Poll

merlojaa · 09-28-2009, 02:18 PM

1. Do you feel safe in your Prius

2. If there were more side and rear impact protection for your Prius would you have been more inclined, initially, to buy it?

3. Would you have paid more if there were more safety features?

First of all I bought a 2010 - V
Answers:
1 - Yes
2 - No impact on decision to buy
3 - Depending on what other "safety feature" possibly. You didn't specify what?

1. Not as much as I feel in my Honda Odyssey.

2. Yes, I was a bit skeptical about buying a car with no safety ratings avialable. I decided to take the risk because of Toyota good record for safety.

3. Yes, depending on the extra safety feature offered.

1. yes
2. no
3. no, at least I would not have wanted to pay more, if it were an option I don't think I would want it but it depends on what it would be

Safety depends a lot more on the driver than on the car and it's safety equipment.

Safety is 50% depending on the driver(you). The other 50% is what you should worry about because other drivers make mistakes. My niece's Civic got hit side way at intersection. The other driver was at fault. Luckily I bought her the 2006 Civic that came with side/curtain airbags. That decision probably saved her life. She walked away with scratches.
P.S. The other vehicle hit her side (not the other).

Liberal amounts of tin foil wrapped around the head will help that. Just make sure you poke a couple of eye holes.
