[@G00S3Y23]

Hmmm insurers want young drivers to drive small cars like this, knowing that statistically they have the most accidents. Sounds to me like they're tryin' to kill us off! xD

[@thedirectionoflife5384]

Yes indeed when this car was new some dealers were offering free insurance for a year to attract all those young drivers to buy the car!

[@julosx]

I actually had a crash a 106 in 2002 against another car (it wasn't my fault). My car was dead but it didn't suffer that much though. It just lost a meter long. I barely had any injury. This poor old 106 protected me rather well for its last trip.

I've sold my Peugeot 106 GTi (Saxos sibling) after watching this video. I loved that car but I love my life more.

Was the passenger in a nasty crash with a saxo, remember being sat in A&E seeing blood pooling either side of my eye, then noticed I could see my own eye brow hanging in front of my eye. Face opened up and a bunch of broken ribs, ouch

[@troxigg]

Given 3 stars in 2000. To be honest no matter the star rating if you are in an accident its never a good day regardless.

[@kaptinkeiff]

2 Stars*?

[@Maurice_Moss]

But if you are in a modern car, you'd probably walk away unharmed. That's the difference

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

To be fair though, I got hit by a drunk driver who fell asleep at the wheel on christmas 2020. She was driving a 2000 Nissan Micra, I was driving my 2020 Ford Fiesta. I got out by opening my door without effort with a fractured wrist. She came out in a body bag after being cut out of the wreckage. Safer cars are a good thing all around, for us and others.

[@bailey33148]

I used to own a 03 saxo, I still wish I held on to it over a year after selling it I miss its noisy cherry bomb and its little pops it would make, for a 1.1 it was a fun car

[@mfbfreak]

Hey Euro NCAP, can you do something about the non-comparability of the star scale system between different years? Or supply a guide how to compare? This tin can of a car gets 2 stars, while some safer, more modern cars get only 1 star. I would like to be able to judge the safety of older cars in comparison to newer stuff, because i'm not likely to buy a brand new car. But i do wanna take safety into account, and not for instance choose the Saxo over a 2010s era Fiat Punto cause the Punto gets only one star - to make an exaggeration. I suggest recalculating the scores so older cars can get negative scores, or expanding the scale past 5 stars so modern cars can get 10 while the saxo will keep its 2 stars, with 2 out of 10 being a very bad score as it shoudl get.

[@CobnutVTS]

saxos are great and you should always buy a saxo, track car? saxo. Offroad car? saxo. City car? saxo.

[@beerus4271]

J’ai une 106(frere de la saxo) de 2000 et c’est vrai que ca fait peur de voir ca,a plus de 60 c’est difficile de survivre Par contre la ou elle est sécuritaire c’est sa tenue de route et sa facilité de conduite et faut pas oublier que c’est un chassis dérivé de l’AX

[@Ojthemighty]

Shit. this is my current car. Ive done 100 mph in this thing. Well if i crash its been nice knowing you.

[@KLienne]

I am driving a saxo now too. At least we might be better off than crashing on a motorcycle...right? Unless we get trapped in a bent-metal cage ;) Best of luck to us both

[@Ojthemighty]

@@KLienne lol ive actually been thinking bout getting a bike

[@KLienne]

@@Ojthemighty Well, you know the risks :p What really bothers me is that it doesn't just have to be you being a stupid driver, but it can also be someone else killing you easily. Quite horrific the amount of people who succumb in traffic :/

i wrote off a saxo with a motorcycle....didnt do my bike a lot of good either......

[@stirkz]

was looking at buying a vts! Not now I'm not!!

[@TCreatorO]

@jamesham12345 so basicly citroens are just like the suzuki forenza my sister has, at first it was okay, then it started to rattle by the passenger rear wheel, it gets dented even if you drop your phone on it, the interior feels cheap and the temperature control cables break the metal tip easily. and parts come appart from the interior, but full tank with like 25$ and it lasts the week, my accord I can drop a scent candle(big ones) and not even a scratch, I 35$ for a whole week bc its a V6 ,

[@jamesham12345]

@TCreatorO I am assuming that you live in the Americas?? I have a Euro Spec Civic (the spaceship) with sports suspension so I dont find an issue with the cornering personally. I think the American spec cars have a setup for a softer ride. My 118d feels more balanced though, but my wife wanted the diesel. The Megane CUP SPORT is very cool and really fast, personally I like the Pug RCZ, wife wants one but I am afraid it will fall apart like my Citroen GT did. I just wish the RCZ was German.

[@juhazz]

@ryanblais i'm impressed actually how bad it is ;)

[@IlGianna]

How many stars EuroNCAP did this car gain?

[@thearousedeunuch]

I read some comments saying 3 stars, and others saying 2. I'm not sure.

[@chloeysuslocuras1157]

2 stars

[@TCreatorO]

@jamesham12345 but the interior is sound, loud stereo from factory, electric seats, super powerful engine, makes a great noise, I dont have to top off the oil between oil changes and it has 179,000 MiLes! not kilometers which is 288 072.576 kilometers to be exact ;), and I can do burnouts with it and considering its automatic its impressive. bc its hard. but on a manual even with a lawnmower engine it can do a burnout. all those miles and No rust anywhere, nothing leaks, never overheats,

[@otavaniemela5329]

Thank god my saxo is 1999 not 2000 :)

[@doiremick86]

@Straughany1 Had a 106, similar car, 50mph into a tree, no airbags just face meeting glass (passenger), car was a write off but suprisingly it was able to be pushed away rather than towed, steel rims stayed strong and only one tire busted...fuck all happened to the tree too, I came off the worst, 17 dislodged vertibrae, I say these cars aren't a deathtrap until you're going over 50 or by sheer (un)luck something comes through the car and hits you...like another car doing 50 :D

it's the faster on 120hp because is light. and the light car mean thin chassis, and this is unsafe

they don't though it cost over 5000 grand to insure a old saxo it would cost 2000 to insure a newer safer car

@jamesham12345 the only down side of ALL hondas its the handling.... it fees like its going to tip over when I go fast through a turn, BMWs nor Toyotas have this problem. I had a 94 Celica ST and I used to slide sideways with it, but I would never dare to do that with the accord lol and even less on my sister's suzuki xD. if I would had live in europe, I would had bought a 2008 Renault Magane.. If I were rich I would friggin import one to the US lol that car modified looks sexy as hell!

[@chromis30]

unbelievable that this car went into series production.

[@netako]

The car's platform (shared with the Peugeot 106) is the same as the one from the Citroën AX, a car released in 1987, no wonder it dit so poorly in this crash test (it's still better than the Fiat Cinquecento though).

[@lloydbanksfan123]

holy fuck and theres me just bought a saxo vtr

[@rumble291]

@RSTBADBOY, LOL even still the Escort RS is probably the most chavy car you can get! Ive never seen someone who doesn't look like a wannabe eminem driving one haha.

[@MooshyVR_gorrila]

Wouldnt expect more from a 250 to 500 dollar car

[@jamesham12345]

@TCreatorOAgree. New citroens seem to be better though and the styling looks cool, however they are pretty crap long term. I was a mug and have had two. My brand new C2 started to fall to bits after 2 years interior pieces falling off, components rusting and loads of rattles and squeaks. Engines are good, styling can be funky ,but everything else is crap. An ideal car world would have italians style the exterior, french the interior, the germans the engineering and the japanese build. LOL

Misma trampa mortal. Más o menos en la generación siguiente de esos coches, (el siguiente Polo y el C2) la seguridad mejoro mucho. Más o menos si vas a buscar un coche con años que sea seguro, que sea mínimo 2003-2004, ahí se pusieron más exigentes con el tema de la seguridad

[@rumble291]

@RSTBADBOY, Tbh I don't see why your slating saxo's so much yet your escort would get any better on the NCAP tests. So a standard saxo, corsa or whatever looks chavvy? Right... Not everyone who owns them cars are chavs its just a stereotype put on them because of a few knobs that drive them. At the end of the day if you want a safe care by a different car.
