It's a sad day when a POS Chevy Aveo can earn better ratings over a tC, xB and Yaris.

 

So, who's gonna buy Aveo over tC just because it has better crash ratings?
Just wondering lol

 

Just don't crash

 

I must be missing it, where does it talk about the tC in that article?

 

may have a better crash rating but either way in a crash like that both cars end up being totaled so you dont really win either way.

 

yuup! Overall, the tC looks pretty safe. This is judging from the pics ppl post of their accidents.
Just b/c a car is "POS" doesnt mean it's not safe. Even ppl driving the cheapest cars on the road deserve to be safe to a certain extent!

 

It's amazing that Chevy got something (anything) right. I suppose ugly cars need crash protection too.

 

Crash-Schmash!! I bet I look more pimp driving my tC than driving a Chevy Aveo!

 

GM didn't make anything.. It's a rebadged Daewoo from South Korea.

 

I had a gnarly accident in my tC. A drunk driver clipped my rear end (I was going 85), I spun and hit a guard rail at what I estimate to be 50 mph, I hit it so hard that I bounced across two lanes to the side of the road I originally started out on. I sustained no injuries.

 

The Aveo is so ugly, it scares oncoming cars and they don't hit them head-on!
I'd rather be caught dead (knock on wood) in my tC than crippled in an Aveo.

 

....naw my friends Aveo got backed up into...by a small SUV going about 10? It smashed in the entire left side...Aveo=not safe Golf cart=safer than Aveo.... tC= so damn safe....Ive seen tC in some serious wrecks and it held its own....

 

^^ BWAH HAHAHAHAHA. Aveo = gag. tC = sex. Which would you rather have? Besides doesn't the tC have 5 star on front crash? I think it has 4 star on side without airbags, but 5 with them ... I THINK. It may be reversed, so really, there's not much difference.

 

x2^ ...tC is real safe take a look http://www.automotive.com/2005/12/sc...ety/index.html

 

Eh, still a cardboard box on wheels. Moral of story, just don't drive wrong way on freeway!

 

I still haven't seen the results on there for the tC's crash test ratings...

 

ehh... we have a lot more mass, but comparatively, we're still hopeless against soccer mom SUVs and the such.

My tip: pass SUVs and other traditionally dangerous vehicles (with dangerous drivers) as quickly and safely as you can.

 

Honestly, it appears that the 2007 Aveo has pretty good crash test ratings. The past models were considerably worse though.

Here are the NHTSA crash test ratings for the CHEVY AVEO:
2007 4-dr Sedan: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/4077.html
2007 5-dr Hatch: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/4105.html
2006 4-dr Sedan: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/3444.html
2005 4-dr Sedan: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/3223.html
-->NICE SAFETY CONCERN...I LIKE THAT 2-STAR RATING!!!

Here are the NHTSA crash test ratings for the SCION TC:
2007: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/3589.html
2006: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/3589.html
2005: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/NCAP/Cars/3176.html

By the way, the general page for all NHTSA ratings is:
