  EuroNCAP results: a bunch of fives 28 Nov 2012 (News)
  In the frontal impact, the Lodgy perfomed like a car from the 1990s - the screen pillar was heavily deformed and the roof ended up bent in front of the B-pillar.

  A Grand Monday: Renault Safrane 3 Apr 2017 (News)
  The French persisted with big executive cars for much longer than most of the players in the executive market.

  Mazda 2 Proves Agility on Wall of Death 4 Apr 2012 (News)
  Simon Cotterell, one of Mazda's own technicians, was then on hand at the track to deactivate the Mazda2's sophisticated electronic stability system and dual front airbags. The front foglamps were also removed to allow more flexibility in the bumper and the Mazda's MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension was fitted with uprated bump stops to handle the incredibly high compression rate - at least twice the force of gravity - as it hurtled around the wall's diameter.

  Let's face it, the older your classic is, the less comfortable it’s likely to be during the winter months. With most cars from the 1950s and 1960s (and sometimes even later) coming with only the most basic heaters and almost certainly lacking a heated rear window, keeping them going all year round can be a challenge. According to Holden Vintage & Classic, however, that’s where this new design of electric screen heater comes into its own.
