Calling anybody with an SEI

[Alex]

This has probably been posted before, but I was just cruising the Euro-NCAP website looking for info and I came accross this!

Don't crash it:

I didn't know you could fold 'em up!

Saxos dont fair much better (but nobody likes them or the people who drive them anyway )

and the Sei is stronger than a cinq.

tbh tho, ive seen centos after real crashes - and they fair better. Only time you're going to damage it like that is if you hit a m'way bridge support or something.

I have seen some video footage of the remains of a cinq when it has been throwen up into a tree to the side of the motorway. I was very shocked, the driver was fine and lived to have another one, the car looked to have stood up to the impact very well.

I think cinqs and sei would stand up well in a crash.,

Those test simulate the real limits of crashing your car. In reality, damage to Centos rarely happens to these levels. Still, no excuse not to be careful though.

Its surprising really how well most cars do stand up in real life, but its still quite shocking to look at a car like that.

Yer but you have to remember that those were a couple at least 5 years ago cos that saxo is NOT the facelifted saxo e.g before they bothered to fit power steering as standard to a saxo! (1996-1999)

The sei will be the same age also and that id linke to think that newer MPI seis are much stronger!!

Also it is only the S base model and who has one of those!

Yeah, I doubt a different head is going to change the results. lol

but where can you feel so unsafe in a car and still enjoy driving it

i know im dead if i have a crash at anything over 60mph, but it still doesnt stop me having fun

and to think I was in my mates sei last week for a lift and he was driving like a nutter ! Could have been a squashed matt.
Handling was quite good for three fatties in a small car! Not enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding though

i would be crapping myself if the sei had anymore power looking at the crash results
