Did you ever crash your Glanza? How was it safety wise? Any pics?

Enzo who heads up UKSC had a bad one in a black Glanza a while back. I remember seeing them and being shocked and how poorly it kept it's shape. Maybe someone can dig them up?

crash rating

well, mashing up easy is a good thing coz that means the car absorbs the shock and impact that would otherwise be getting to the occupants. only haste is, the shell is such a short form-factor car that there is little cushioning :(

best bet is to stay safe on the roads. keep speeds minimum unless the road and the car allow it.. :)

Ok! I've seen about 10 Glanza's before 98 model - with just 1 air bag, so I assumed the early models didn't get one. What kind of interior have you got? is the steering wheel black?

Interesting thread this, had a close call on Tuesday night with ice, doing about 40mph on a gentle bend and all four wheels just went. If there was anything in the other lane I was f**cked like! It makes you think twice about putting the boot down. Feel a bit safer in my Glanza now though compared to the GT's, making lemons outta lemonade haha!

ouch!

any details about the crash? what happend?

Aquaplaned on the M1. Spun around backwards and went across all 5 lanes, rear end into the barrier around 45 degrees. That bounced me back across all 5 lanes into the concrete central reservation. I didn't have airbags as previous owner removed it. Very lucky really

What speed were you doing? About 70mph?
