The Australia Govt has just released a study into over a million vehicle accidents. The statistics show how likely you are to be injured in an accident in various types of vehicles by category.

Not a lot of surprises. Newer cars are better than old, bigger better than smaller. In the luxury category I noticed that the Volvo S70/V70 didn't score as well as the 700/900 which is an older design. The BMW E34 didn't do as well as either. In the small cars the pre 98 Astras got a much better rating than the post 98 ones. The Focus is not listed because it wasn't imported into Australia during the period of the study but the old style 95 to 01 Mondeo gets a good rating. We didn't import the new style Mondeo.
