psymon Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Been having a debate bout this. Not sure if they were even tested... Anyone know what the rating was for the soop, or hazzard a guess. I reckon bout a 3, as its an old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'd guess 3 at best. The general rule with ncap seems to be that if it was made before about 2000, if you crash you'll die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The lack of airbags would count against it (some Volvo's have nine airbags) as would it's lack of crumple zones. Total guesses but I'd assume this would be the out-come: Front impact test @ 40mph = 3 Side impact @ 30mph = 3 Pedestrian Impact test = 0 Pole Test @ 18mph = 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Lack of crumple zones? It's got a few good ones alright. With the high sills and stiff shell, I guess it would fare better than current hot-hatches in real-life conditions. Remember that the NCAP is still skewed to allow for the low sills of most cars. Reality on side impact collisions is much harsher - the supra wins there big time. Just ask Chiefgroover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
