I agree with you. Like I said in my comment on the video I have not buyed my car to be a bumpercar like it is on carnival rides. That's why I have bought as eweryone can see in my profile picture a car that the person vho made this video would consider dangerus since it scored "only" 2 stars on EuroNcap tests but I dont care abaut the score since I love to drive it not it drive me like many people these days do (I don't mean you of course)
I really hope you never have an incident while driving. Passing out, heart attack or any sudden incapacitating illnesses. And I really hope it never happens just when you enter an intersection, or a busy crosswalk with 10s and 10s of people passing over, and that the effect of the illness makes your foot relax and sink down, putting down full throttle, plowing through whatever's in your way. What could maybe, just maybe, prevent such an incident? That could maybe brake for you, if you are incapacitated? Now we're taking big brain time.. Someone will get rich if they figure that out.
Most of those new safety requirements are aimed at drivers not concentrated on driving. At the same time car makers install huge tablet in front of them. Insane logic.
my friend claims to have been saved from crashing into the fence by such a system when he dozed off returning from a night shift. stuff happens, u know.
@@flopunkt3665 well it was a solution this time. It's not to be relied upon obviously but it worked. Easy to judge. But what is he to do? The drive from his work to his home is so short it doesn't even have a rest stop.
It is a feature to prevent drivers falling asleep, which does happen. I know a proffesional driver that fell asleep on a highway and his car , uncontrolled, started waving left and right. Fortunately , behind him there was a big truck that used his horn and that finally woke him up so he regained controll on the car. Without that truck he would have died. Had he had a lane depart warning, an alarm would have sounded as soon as he would have fallen asleep and lost control, so he would have been woken up and saved by the lane depart feature, without needing to be "lucky".... Besides, there was a horrific famous accident in Romania when a well known romanian tv star fell asleep at the wheel of a big SUV and crashed into a small car comming from the opposite direction , killing 5 people inside it. Those poor innocents, that drove their car as it should, could have been saved by such a feature that would have prevented the guy falling asleep and killing them unintentionally...
Complaining that certain cars don't have lane departure warning,pedestrian alert etc. Is nothing but an admission of being a poor driver. we have been driving for 100 years without relying on all this nonsense! Here's an idea,when people drive how about they concentrate on the roads around them!
but, watch how many people use smartphones or the SUVs' 9 inches touch screen... And now we need emergency braking and AEB. The only thing a car really needs is ABS and ESP.
Yes, and how many people yearly died in traffic, lets say between 60-70, 70-80, 80-90 and so on up until today? Per capita. I can give you numbers if you like, I know. People died like flies "back in the day when we sure as hell didn't need any electronic help"....
@@r3voc Yes, and in 2006 an enquiry was led where it found that because if the way the statistics were gathered and manipulated from the early 90's when the police stats system changed and the government upped it's drive on reductions of road deaths, it was shown that the published figures were likely to be 2-3 times higher in actuality! Statistics can be manipulated and interpreted in any way to suit your desired outcome and anyone who lives by the rule of statistics is a fool with his head buried in the sand.
The Fiat Panda shows clearly the change in the way NCAP scores cars. Back in the day, the car showed good structural integrity and achieved a "good" 4 star score.These days if a manufacturer omits some new feature not yet present on 90% of cars on the road that NCAP deems desirable, they zero the score giving us no way of judging attributes we may prefer to know about, such as structural rigidity. NCAP is no longer as useful a tool if it gives a zero score to cars that may well be safer than 90% of the cars on the road.
But look at the Renault Zoe's EuroNcap ratings - 43% occupant protection that's mainly why it gets zero stars (even though Renault removed some of the 'safety' tech in the newer one.
First of all, the Fiesta that got only 3 stars was the mark 4/5, a design which dated back to the late 80s, both a heavily facelifted mark 3. The mark 6 scored 4 stars and the mark 7 and 8 both got 5 stars. The mark 1 punto got 2 stars, the ncap results are for the mark 3, the original results for the mark 3 was a 5 star results. The Rover 100 was a design that dated back to the 70s with the Austin Metro, the body structure remained the same until it's demise until 1997. It got a facelift in 1990 with a new engine, it gained safety gear with side impact door beams and an optional drivers airbag in 1995. The Rover is proof how safety has improved over time. I think you need to do your research much better.
@Jenny Donne, God knows why they put car in the video that went out of production back in 1997, is beyond me. The quality of the Rover 100 steel and rust protection was poor compared to the earlier mk3 too, so that didn't help matters either, Also the same thing could have said about the classic mini.
This video is what happens when you don't teach students in university properly when reading statistics and using them correctly to support your argument
This really is the biggest load of unmitigated tripe. The Rover 200 was a revamp of the Mini Metro, so it dated back to 1980. I haven't seen one on the road for at least ten years, so the likelihood of anyone buying such a car today except as a museum piece is NIL. Also, much of the NCAP criteria are really bollocks. Having covered the essential stuff like impact protection, they now can't find anything much to pick holes in with most modern cars. The fact that a car doesn't have automatic braking or lane-departure technology (which can itself be dangerously distracting), a warning light to tell you to fasten your seatbelt or some other whizzo gadget doesn't make it significantly more dangerous than anything else. Frankly, if you can't drive without all these gadgets you shouldn't be let loose in a car at all.
Well done! You are totally accurate in what you say.Ncap are very narrow minded in what they test - how about indicators that can be seen and visibility out of the windows insteadof the slits we have in modern bathtubs on wheels?
I have lane assist, i deactivate it 98% of the time, i only use it on the highway when im trying to drink some water! When i got my car last year i taught it was a cool feat, but after some time it got really annoying! Id rather control my car, not the other way around
@@michaeltb1358 It's pure bureaucracy these ratings For some reason a lack of things like lane assist and active braking automatically put you down in the ratings. I would've thought physical integrity and air bags were quite a bit more important?
My 18 Corolla has lane assist, but I keep that turned off since I'm not a distracted driver. If I have to briefly go into the opposite lane to avoid a stopped car on the side, it's irritating to fight the car from aggressively forcing me back into my lane
its kinda meh when a car goes from a good score to a low score just because tests nowadays demand automatic breaking and lane keep. loads of people pretty much always disable lane keeping assist before driving off since this type of systems often don't work great.
Well the only car that I saw working well is my ford focus 2022 I dont use that functionality that mutch but the other cars if you have to dodge something you can't because lane assist will force you to stay on the lane While mine have an evasive manover detection to allow you to leave lane without using the blinker Observation: this comes from my experience so May exist other cars with similar systems :)
So wrong. My car has twenty seven safety stars which means I do not have to be so careful when out and about on the roads compared to the likes of you in your "lesser" mobiles. Those massively thicko strong six A, B and C pillar blind spots are another real safety benefit. Hence the most frequently used reason on accident report forms when asked what or who was at fault for the accident. Cue. I did not see then until it was too late.
NCAP is a EU device. It's now evolved into a simple selling tool.A con-trick. There's only one safety star really needed on any vehicle. That's the quality of the Nut holding the steering wheel. When I drive a modern 5* Vehicle. I am immediately worried by the massive thickness of the three pairs of door pillars. All A, B and C of them. Massive blind spots. Those thicko a, B and C pillars may make the occupants safer, but are a danger to all other road users unseen behind those six massive blind spots. Forger all that. My fat-gut SUV has twenty safety stars which means I do not have to exercise care and attention at the same level as you in your inferior stars means of getting about. I'm alright jack! There's far more to safety than the number of stars awarded when a car is driven into a concrete block. Moral lesson here. Avoid large concrete blocks. Best poolicy by far.
Hello everyone! I need your help ! I had an accident a couple of weeks ago. I used to own a Daihatsu terios '02 (4x4) when a truck did collision me from behind . Thank God we are fine. So now, I have to buy a new car. I was thinking about Fiat 500X '18 or '16 or Opel corsa '15 or '16. What do you think about them ? Are they safe ? Do you have any recommendations (I prefer a diesel one )? Thank you!
@@irene9794bmw x1, Volkswagen T-Roc, Opel crossland X or grand Land X,. Those you sudgested to buy? If you Like to pay for parts and maintnance constantly then yes go ahead because Fiat is unreliable because of engine Problems and electrical faults and corsa are basically small hatchbacks for City drive and not for Highway because that car is small and less heavy and you know what that means..
This is another fantastic example of how to spread fake news. The Rover originated of 1981 as the Austin Mini Metro, which at the time fulfilled al what was needed and was on par with its competitors Fiat 127, Renault 5 Le Car, better than VW Beetle, Renault 4 and 6 or Citroen 2 CV, or the Mini, which it was intended to replace. The original Mini survived it till 2000, despite the fact the car had been reworked as the Metro first than a second time as Rover Metro/100 Series. After the crash test with an that already 17 years in production car, that originated in the mid 70ies. Rover immediately stopped the lines and cancelled all orders which at this time were still strong. The car was abandoned within hours from production and sales. The Fiat Punto is a good car which just failed because of lack of all the new technical safety things which are now requested from the government. But again the Punto dates many years back and has been reworked again and again. This is not the precise information needed to not mislead people. Research could have been much better and more precise. Same goes for Fiat Panda and Renault ZOE
How humanity managed to avoid complete and utter extinction without the features of automatic braking, lane assist, and a myriad of other expensive "safety" features over the past one hundred years is an absolute miracle!
My company has a 2017 Ford Fiesta with 300,000 miles. Chassis has no squeaks or rattles. Engine easily runs highway speeds and will cruise above that. The 2017 Fiesta is a an excellent vehicle.
I've had plenty of cars which had over 500 000 km driven and working great. Though I wouldn't want to crash in most of them due to then being completely obsolete on the safety side.

I was recently CLOBBERED by Subaru SUV in my 2014 Fiesta !! It hit me in the drivers side going 50 mph !! The car protected me beautifully, I walked away with just some neck pain. Total Bullcrap !!
Very strange video. It seems to put different generations of cars that have the same name on one pile. Like a kia Rio from 2004 is a very different car than a 2012 or a 2022.

You mixed the Punto with the Grande Punto and viceversa. The Grande Punto (Called Punto and Punto Evo after 2012 I think) is the one that started the 0 star list, and back when it was new (2007), it had recived not the punto's 2 stars, but 5 full stars. It was considered very safe. And btw. Nothing on it's safety changed apart from airbags (the GP didn't come with side airbags as stock, they were optional, the new Punto and the Punto evo did). The car is still incredebly strong in a crash. But of course, it doesn't drive itself, so it aint safe. That car is as safe as the person driving it. Good driver? Nice, no need to test the 5 stars from 2007. Bad driver...? Well... pitty he won't die...
Your description says "are you in the market for a new car". The Rover 100 ceased production in 1998 and there are less than 600 left. So how do you justify its inclusion.
yeah, they pulled those from production back nearly 25 years ago, tbh i think any car from that era maybe to the mid 00s will fail now. Due to the safety tech at the time, All that tricky stuff mentioned in the jeep and Dacia, Those sort of stuff wasnt even thought about when the rover metro was in production, Some cars didnt even have air bags at the time either. I think it was sort of the mid 90s when people got an air bag standard, and then the passenger side got an air bag, which can be turned off in some cars. ( the peugeot 306 for example) Due to if you have a baby in the front passenger seat.
No surpries here, what bugs me is that when i learned to drive the only saftey feature was your right foot and the skill to steer out of danger without turning the vehicle over. Now todays tinfoil and plastic creations seem to require multiple everything just to hope that you may survive an impact, is this realy progress?
You learned and were taught to drive correctly. The only safety feature worth a damn on any vehicle is the quality of the nut holding the steering wheel.
@@omegabulldog5001 Opps! i forgot about the reason why most will end up as scrap due to electrical failures that are just too expensive to repair. Smartphones only last a few years, modern cars are going to be the same. I had a bad sample of a BMW 3 series, it had multiple ECU's replaced under warranty, i traded it in before the warranty expired.
As a driving instructor said on a UK Channel 4 documentary some years ago, the best safety device would be a big sharp spike sticking out of the steering wheel.
many cars failed because of that. Even modern ones like the Dacias, which relies on good driver awareness to not run over a pedestrian instead of a fancy system that may break down to save down on cost

@@irene9794 my fiat Panda is very dependable. It has a strong 0.9 engine. I keep up the maintenance every 10,000 km. The first thing just broke on it since ownership. I bought it used. It has 174,400 km on the odometer. I'm planning to take it on a 5,000km trip next year or so. I just polished all the windows. The only thing I have to look out for is corrosion and dirt on the inside the hatch by the bolts and hinges. I clean it every heavy rain storms the next time I open the hatch.
Tbh we don’t need to be providing cars with lane assist, braking assist, small animal detection etc. Use that money and development time to ensure the actual structure is sound. Saab for instance had extremely strong and safe cars, decades ago. Any good driver should be alert at all times on the road and be safe just by their driving competency. Electric cars, ultra quiet and comfortable cars, electric safety systems etc these are all gradually deskilling drivers. I raced karts all my life, have driven cars, SUV’s, vans with a trailer hitched up from the age of 21. 10 years later I’ve never had an accident, never even come close.
Just because you never had an accident, doesn't mean that assistance systems are useless. There are millions of unskilled drivers in the world, endangering everyone on the road. It would save many lives and prevent many accidents if all cars would take over in emergency situations.
A hyundai i10 is very strong i would say, my moms one got rear ended a lot in the past 9 years and the car only received a dent during the crash, no major damage, even got rammed with a bull-bar

As far as I know a Dacia spring had a collision with a truck and everyone survived even if the car was damaged badly. So, it's about luck also, I guess...
Dacia relies on good driver awareness to not run over a pedestrian instead of a fancy system that may break down to save down on cost. NCAP wants the fancy tech or you get a bad grade.
Surprised about the Fiesta really, I expected a much higher safety rating! But there are millions of these on our roads, esp in UK, driven by mainly young first time car owners, that lack driving experience. Therefore the chances of having an accident is much higher, as there are more of them! I don't own any of these cars, all good then :)
The fatality rate is based on US data. Most US cars are huge, while the Fiesta is a very small car. It is certainly awful to crash against a US monster car if you're riding in a Fiesta. The situation is very different in countries where most cars are small. Here in Brazil the Fiesta is very far from being one of the most dangerous cars, and I imagine the same applies for most european countries.
there has been a mistake in the punto ncap tho, I own one and know for a fact that many things that have been crossed out of the safety list, are actually included, side airbags, passenger belt alarm and many more, the Punto Evo has been given the test score of the MK1 or MK2 Puntos that started production in 1995 I think. So yeah there's no way a 2010 car with brakes much better than other VW, Seat and Audi models after 2012, good handling and a proper chassis, have a 0 star NCAP score, 2 less than a Citroen SAXO ffs, so NCAP is complete bullshit.
Man from this video showing 1997 crash rating for punto and comparing now with 0 star and not sharing its 5 star rating and misguiding people that’s it’s been withdrawn from market due to is poor safety rating … punto still has one of the safest strong body shell and where it’s lacks in modern passive safety features
For god sake I know that safety is important but being aware of what happens around you while driving is more important since you are able to avoid such situations in the first place. I have seen a lot of cars mentioned in this video on the road driven by people normally. The simple fact is that the biggest problem in modern times is not cars being unsafe but people driving cars are not paying attention to road and doing many other things while driving. For god’s sake I didn’t buy my car to be a bumper car like the one on carnivals and many people don’t have the resources to buy cars which get great scores on tests.
@@manuel.dignani I wouldn't go that far but many features on todays vehicles are either being abused or overused to make many drivers to lazy and unatentive to the whole proces of driving. That's just my personal opinion.

Lol come on. Just because car doesn't have a lane keeping system and multi-collision braking is it a deathtrap? People driving older cars without these systems must all be dead, right? lol
To be fair for Spring 49% is probably a lot for a car that drives up to 120km/h max and is for city only, unlike the Wrangler. At its price it is competing with Citroen AMI or Renault Twizy and those aren't cars, don't have airbags at all, but will be used in same scenarios.
I love how cars in fast and furious gets crashed, no airbacks and drivers not wearing seatbelt, but still nothing happens. Not even single scarth on body.
Ando it’s not actually that unsafe, in this case the problem with EuroNcap is that tech like lane keep assist inflict in the result. I agree that are safety features but should not be taken into consideration since gives biased results towards economy cars vs expensive cars
The Dacia Spring is called Dacia Spring, the Renault Kwid is called Renault Kwid. It is the same car but different namings by region. The Kwid naming is for india and the Spring naming is for europe.
Now the ratings are skewed by including autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keeping. These can be problematic and I would NOT want them in my vehicle unless they could be turned off.
My take on the ford fiesta is. People look at it like a rally car the same as the focus hatchback and drive them like maniacs. No wonder it has such high fatality rate when the owners drive them like pricks.
yeah those went off sale back in 1997/1998 and a most cars of that era will be in the same boat anyway. Think about the classic mini, the citroen AX, FIat uno
Most of these cars like Jeep Wrangler or Dacia Spring are not supposed to have luxurious features, these cars only to go A to B without many problems at low cost (not cheap since cheap means low cost and low quality) (The reason why Jeep Wrangler is still in production and why Dacia sells well in UK)
Poor video - zero stars. Confusing mix of years for the same car - with dramatically diverse REAL NCAP. Ford Fiesta is one case - check the real NCAP scores for various years - shown were vintage Fiesta (poor real score, though in line with many other small cars of the era), followed seconds later with current model which had 5 stars. Video should be deleted.
Dude we’ve been driving a fiesta from 2006 and we are driving it for 16 years since it only had 1 crash but it was a small hit we’ve been driving it for so long and haven’t had accidents durning 2022
I find curious to see mostly Europeans cars and in 8th position a car which is not on sale since more than 20 years so they should update their database of cars and give measures in metrics should be cool too.
It was a panda that killed Princess Diana who was in the back of a Mercedes saloon S class They found the panda car burnt out owned by a free lance photographer who eventually committed suicide but not in the car....
The Fiat Panda of 1997 was a different car, the panda that allegedly hit princess Diana would have been a mark 2 which is a heavily facelifted mark 1 which dated back to the 1970s, now that would have been fatal in a crash, no safety gear what so ever, not even side impact bars in the doors. That was a mark 4 panda which is a much safer car compared to a mark 1 or 2. I remember it being a Fiat Uno being the car, slightly bigger.
My thoughts How many 97 cars are still on the road in2022 ! Not really relevant now. As for lane assist, Brake assist ect Both can cause problems! Driver training is more practical, Taking away driver basic foundations Only benefit drunk drivers ect
Lack of lane assist, lack of lane departure control and brake assist (automatic braking) doesn't make a vehicle inherently dangerous. As soon as I saw that I knew I couldn't take this list seriously.
The only reason why there are so many accidents involving Ford Fiesta is only because it's an affordable, GOOD car. Actually the best of B segment among the equivalent other options. Therefore it's super popular. There are tons of them on the roads.
ncap requirements became ridiculous just to sell mostly useless tech. Even 1 star cars here would have 4-5 stars out of five 10 yrs ago. Passive safety is ok on all cars sold in Europe in 2022 - they dont have lane keeping assist imagine that :) In the last 20 yrs there was almost zero development in structural safety of the cars only gizmos (some useful though). But there is only one active safety system, which is really useful and thats ABS, saved more lives than all the other safety features combined.
Those scores should come from how the occupents inside the car would do in a crash. Giving a safe car zero starts for not having something like lane keep assist is hilariously weak excuse.
NCAP is a bs rating Thing's like airbags and physical integrity sure But thing's like lane keep assist? Auto hampering cars built down to a price, but will still protect you IF you have a crash Not to tempt fate, but I've never owned a car with 'Lane keep' and I've never had a crash
This video is pretty irrelevant, since many of the tests that are cited took place years in the past. The title saying these are the most dangerous cars in 2022 is untrue. It's also odd that the narrator has an American accent since many of these cars aren't sold in the USA.
I owned the Ford Fiesta and it was the best hatchback i had for best 3 years. i needed to get a bigger car due to family. So people who get into crashes are the bad drivers in our society or its just bad timing. no car is bad unless its used differently.

Makes you wonder how we oldies survived the 1960s with thin steering wheels, interior bare metal, external corrosion, no sestbelts, leaky petrol leaded exhaust fumes, dodgy drum brakes and thin tyres etc. Still, at least an Austin Cambridge or Hillman Minx had character and was unlikely to go much faster than 60 mph.
What cars from 1997 are doing on a video supoused to talck about 2022 cars ?? 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly! And that car debuted in 1980!

they are same
They must be in back to the future
Correct what are he doing
It's sad that a car that can't pretty much drive itself (lane keep assist, automatic braking) is now considered 'unsafe'.
These are Unnecessary extra features of cars.

Back in the day, the car showed good structural integrity and achieved a "good" 4 star score.These days if a manufacturer omits some new feature not yet present on 90% of cars on the road that NCAP deems desirable, they zero the score giving us no way of judging attributes we may prefer to know about, such as structural rigidity. NCAP is no longer as useful a tool if it gives a zero score to cars that may well be safer than 90% of the cars on the road.
Exactly you got it punto body is very strong todays but gets zero due to modern electronics not present
Agreed
NCAP is about scientific absolutism; it seeks to spearhead the presence of safety tech, rather than to measure safety outcomes in cars as they stand.
But look at the Renault Zoe's EuroNcap ratings - 43% occupant protection that's mainly why it gets zero stars (even though Renault removed some of the 'safety' tech in the newer one.
They removed adas that's why u guess its score that low@@daviddunmore8415
First of all, the Fiesta that got only 3 stars was the mark 4/5, a design which dated back to the late 80s, both a heavily facelifted mark 3. The mark 6 scored 4 stars and the mark 7 and 8 both got 5 stars. The mark 1 punto got 2 stars, the ncap results are for the mark 3, the original results for the mark 3 was a 5 star results. The Rover 100 was a design that dated back to the 70s with the Austin Metro, the body structure remained the same until it's demise until 1997. It got a facelift in 1990 with a new engine, it gained safety gear with side impact door beams and an optional drivers airbag in 1995. The Rover is proof how safety has improved over time. I think you need to do your research much better.
They are some dumb liars... dont worry they dont know what they are talking about lol
I agree
@Jenny Donne, God knows why they put car in the video that went out of production back in 1997, is beyond me. The quality of the Rover 100 steel and rust protection was poor compared to the earlier mk3 too, so that didn't help matters either, Also the same thing could have said about the classic mini.
Agreed
yeh they're just a hater they also can not slander the Ford brand on social media platform Ford is currently selling cars
This video is what happens when you don't teach students in university properly when reading statistics and using them correctly to support your argument
This really is the biggest load of unmitigated tripe. The Rover 200 was a revamp of the Mini Metro, so it dated back to 1980. I haven't seen one on the road for at least ten years, so the likelihood of anyone buying such a car today except as a museum piece is NIL. Also, much of the NCAP criteria are really bollocks. Having covered the essential stuff like impact protection, they now can't find anything much to pick holes in with most modern cars. The fact that a car doesn't have automatic braking or lane-departure technology (which can itself be dangerously distracting), a warning light to tell you to fasten your seatbelt or some other whizzo gadget doesn't make it significantly more dangerous than anything else. Frankly, if you can't drive without all these gadgets you shouldn't be let loose in a car at all.
Well done! You are totally accurate in what you say.Ncap are very narrow minded in what they test - how about indicators that can be seen and visibility out of the windows insteadof the slits we have in modern bathtubs on wheels?
An experienced driver and attentive driver don't need lane assist. I had to drive a 2022 that has it through a ice storm with 80mph winds, it sucked
Lane assist is useless on the majority of roads.
I have lane assist, i deactivate it 98% of the time, i only use it on the highway when im trying to drink some water! When i got my car last year i taught it was a cool feat, but after some time it got really annoying! Id rather control my car, not the other way around
@@michaeltb1358 It's pure bureaucracy these ratings
For some reason a lack of things like lane assist and active braking automatically put you down in the ratings. I would've thought physical integrity and air bags were quite a bit more important?
Meanwhile my country's road don't even have lane. Its so cheap they don't even paint it.
My 18 Corolla has lane assist, but I keep that turned off since I'm not a distracted driver. If I have to briefly go into the opposite lane to avoid a stopped car on the side, it's irritating to fight the car from aggressively forcing me back into my lane
its kinda meh when a car goes from a good score to a low score just because tests nowadays demand automatic breaking and lane keep. loads of people pretty much always disable lane keeping assist before driving off since this type of systems often don't work great.
I don't need these, I don't use my phone when I drive
Well the only car that I saw working well is my ford focus 2022
I dont use that functionality that mutch but the other cars if you have to dodge something you can't because lane assist will force you to stay on the lane
While mine have an evasive manover detection to allow you to leave lane without using the blinker
Observation: this comes from my experience so May exist other cars with similar systems :)
A car with zero stars is still safe. NCAP counts electronic assistant systems, which don't make the car come better out of a crash.
So wrong. My car has twenty seven safety stars which means I do not have to be so careful when out and about on the roads compared to the likes of you in your "lesser" mobiles.
Those massively thicko strong six A, B and C pillar blind spots are another real safety benefit. Hence the most frequently used reason on accident report forms when asked what or who was at fault for the accident. Cue.
I did not see then until it was too late.
@@T16MGJ
They got NCAPACITATED!
NCAP is a EU device. It's now evolved into a simple selling tool.A con-trick. There's only one safety star really needed on any vehicle. That's the quality of the Nut holding the steering wheel.
When I drive a modern 5* Vehicle. I am immediately worried by the massive thickness of the three pairs of door pillars. All A, B and C of them. Massive blind spots. Those thicko a, B and C pillars may make the occupants safer, but are a danger to all other road users unseen behind those six massive blind spots.
Forger all that. My fat-gut SUV has twenty safety stars which means I do not have to exercise care and attention at the same level as you in your inferior stars means of getting about. I'm alright jack!
There's far more to safety than the number of stars awarded when a car is driven into a concrete block. Moral lesson here. Avoid large concrete blocks. Best poolicy by far.
Hello everyone! I need your help ! I had an accident a couple of weeks ago. I used to own a Daihatsu terios '02 (4x4) when a truck did collision me from behind . Thank God we are fine. So now, I have to buy a new car. I was thinking about Fiat 500X '18 or '16 or Opel corsa '15 or '16. What do you think about them ? Are they safe ?

Some of these cars are not 2022. One isn't even from this century ffs.
fiat panda is still in production
This is another fantastic example of how to spread fake news. The Rover originated of 1981 as the Austin Mini Metro, which at the time fulfilled al what was needed and was on par with its competitors Fiat 127, Renault 5 Le Car, better than VW Beetle, Renault 4 and 6 or Citroen 2 CV, or the Mini, which it was intended to replace. The original Mini survived it till 2000, despite the fact the car had been reworked as the Metro first than a second time as Rover Metro/100 Series. After the crash test with an that already 17 years in production car, that originated in the mid 70ies. Rover immediately stopped the lines and cancelled all orders which at this time were still strong. The car was abandoned within hours from production and sales. The Fiat Punto is a good car which just failed because of lack of all the new technical safety things which are now requested from the government. But again the Punto dates many years back and has been reworked again and again. This is not the precise information needed to not mislead people. Research could have been much better and more precise. Same goes for Fiat Panda and Renault ZOE
How humanity managed to avoid complete and utter extinction without the features of automatic braking, lane assist, and a myriad of other expensive "safety" features over the past one hundred years is an absolute miracle!
Welcome to the "bubble wrap" that the nanny overlords are trying to wrap us all in. 🤦♂️
My company has a 2017 Ford Fiesta with 300,000 miles.
Chassis has no squeaks or rattles.
Engine easily runs highway speeds and will cruise above that.
The 2017 Fiesta is a an excellent vehicle.
I've had plenty of cars which had over 500 000 km driven and working great. Though I wouldn't want to crash in most of them due to then being completely obsolete on the safety side.
They are laying talking about Fista MK4 not MK6/7+

Safety is important. Best safety feature you can invest in is advanced driver training. Gas saved me numerous times.
I was recently CLOBBERED by Subaru SUV in my 2014 Fiesta !! It hit me in the drivers side going 50 mph !! The car protected me beautifully, I walked away with just some neck pain. Total Bullcrap !!
Same with my Fiat panda. I had an accident, a car pulled out in front of me while I was doing 35mph, and I walked away from it.
Very strange video.
It seems to put different generations of cars that have the same name on one pile.
Like a kia Rio from 2004 is a very different car than a 2012 or a 2022.
The more I watched, the more I came to realise it was just a comedy show.

You mixed the Punto with the Grande Punto and viceversa. The Grande Punto (Called Punto and Punto Evo after 2012 I think) is the one that started the 0 star list, and back when it was new (2007), it had recived not the punto's 2 stars, but 5 full stars. It was considered very safe. And btw. Nothing on it's safety changed apart from airbags (the GP didn't come with side airbags as stock, they were optional, the new Punto and the Punto evo did). The car is still incredebly strong in a crash. But of course, it doesn't drive itself, so it aint safe. That car is as safe as the person driving it. Good driver? Nice, no need to test the 5 stars from 2007. Bad driver...? Well... pitty he won't die...
grande punto has five stars in 2008
The Dacia Spring is better compared to the Renault Kwid, the Kwid crashes like a 90's while the Spring crashes like an early 10's
Europe forced Renault to give more safety features for Dacia's Spring electric car than their Kwid in China
Your description says "are you in the market for a new car". The Rover 100 ceased production in 1998 and there are less than 600 left. So how do you justify its inclusion.
yeah, they pulled those from production back nearly 25 years ago, tbh i think any car from that era maybe to the mid 00s will fail now. Due to the safety tech at the time, All that tricky stuff mentioned in the jeep and Dacia, Those sort of stuff wasnt even thought about when the rover metro was in production, Some cars didnt even have air bags at the time either. I think it was sort of the mid 90s when people got an air bag standard, and then the passenger side got an air bag, which can be turned off in some cars. ( the peugeot 306 for example) Due to if you have a baby in the front passenger seat.
If you're an American, don't bother watching. I'll save you time...

No surpries here, what bugs me is that when i learned to drive the only saftey feature was your right foot
and the skill to steer out of danger without turning the vehicle over.
Now todays tinfoil and plastic creations seem to require multiple everything just to hope that you may survive
an impact, is this realy progress?
You learned and were taught to drive correctly. The only safety feature worth a damn on any vehicle is the quality of the nut holding the steering wheel.
Plus you forgot to mention the TONS of useless digital devices on a modern car....it's as if we are driving a damned smartphone instead of a car.
@@omegabulldog5001 Opps! i forgot about the reason why most will end up as scrap due to
electrical failures that are just too expensive to repair.
Smartphones only last a few years, modern cars are going to be the same.
I had a bad sample of a BMW 3 series, it had multiple ECU's replaced under warranty,
i traded it in before the warranty expired.
As a driving instructor said on a UK Channel 4 documentary some years ago, the best safety device would be a big sharp spike sticking out of the steering wheel.
Yeah 😅, that would do the purpose in case of sudden breaking
The Renault Zoe is pronounced ZO-EE!
And NOT Renolt! Geeze!
He didn't even spell Dacia right he spelt it D A S H I A 💀
I don't want lane assist 😶
I have a 2014 Fiat Panda. Good car. The only reason why it failed because it does not have a collusion warning system or automatic braking.
many cars failed because of that. Even modern ones like the Dacias, which relies on good driver awareness to not run over a pedestrian instead of a fancy system that may break down to save down on cost

The only thing I have to look out for is corrosion and dirt on the inside the hatch by the bolts and hinges. I clean it every heavy rain storms the next time I open the hatch.
Tbh we don’t need to be providing cars with lane assist, braking assist, small animal detection etc.
Use that money and development time to ensure the actual structure is sound.
Saab for instance had extremely strong and safe cars, decades ago.
Any good driver should be alert at all times on the road and be safe just by their driving competency.
Electric cars, ultra quiet and comfortable cars, electric safety systems etc these are all gradually deskilling drivers.
I raced karts all my life, have driven cars, SUV’s, vans with a trailer hitched up from the age of 21.
10 years later I’ve never had an accident, never even come close.
Just because you never had an accident, doesn't mean that assistance systems are useless. There are millions of unskilled drivers in the world, endangering everyone on the road. It would save many lives and prevent many accidents if all cars would take over in emergency situations.
I've been rear-ended twice - both times in a Volvo 240 which was undamaged, more than can be said for the cars that ran into the Volvo.
A hyundai i10 is very strong i would say, my moms one got rear ended a lot in the past 9 years and the car only received a dent during the crash, no major damage, even got rammed with a bull-bar
When I crashed my roommate's '02 Xterra, I was very impressed that both front passenger airbags deployed, and I came out with bruises.

@@manuel.dignani As a romanian I approve,you're better off with a duster or a logan if u want Dacia,noone likes the spring
Dacia relies on good driver awareness to not run over a pedestrian instead of a fancy system that may break down to save down on cost. NCAP wants the fancy tech or you get a bad grade.
Remember people that NCAP have changed their own ratings, so brand new cars scoring 3 star may have scored 5 star on old standards.
Dangerous... lol, any zero star of 2022's NCap test is equal of 5 stars in 2015's NCap tests. Are 5 stars cars in 215 dangerous ?
Surprised about the Fiesta really, I expected a much higher safety rating! But there are millions of these on our roads, esp in UK, driven by mainly young first time car owners, that lack driving experience. Therefore the chances of having an accident is much higher, as there are more of them! I don't own any of these cars, all good then :)
The Fiesta that got 3 stars was the mark 4 in 1997, the last 2 generations of Fiesta got 5 stars
@@jennydonne8946 so that means this video is out of date. Ford could sue the maker for false information
They showed three different fiesta models,research done by 5 year olds.
@@robertwillis4061 possible as they gave false information
The fatality rate is based on US data. Most US cars are huge, while the Fiesta is a very small car. It is certainly awful to crash against a US monster car if you're riding in a Fiesta. The situation is very different in countries where most cars are small. Here in Brazil the Fiesta is very far from being one of the most dangerous cars, and I imagine the same applies for most european countries.
there has been a mistake in the punto ncap tho, I own one and know for a fact that many things that have been crossed out of the safety list, are actually included, side airbags, passenger belt alarm and many more, the Punto Evo has been given the test score of the MK1 or MK2 Puntos that started production in 1995 I think. So yeah there's no way a 2010 car with brakes much better than other VW, Seat and Audi models after 2012, good handling and a proper chassis, have a 0 star NCAP score, 2 less than a Citroen SAXO ffs, so NCAP is complete bullshit.
Man from this video showing 1997 crash rating for punto and comparing now with 0 star and not sharing its 5 star rating and misguiding people that’s it’s been withdrawn from market due to is poor safety rating … punto still has one of the safest strong body shell and where it’s lacks in modern passive safety features
For god sake I know that safety is important but being aware of what happens around you while driving is more important since you are able to avoid such situations in the first place. I have seen a lot of cars mentioned in this video on the road driven by people normally. The simple fact is that the biggest problem in modern times is not cars being unsafe but people driving cars are not paying attention to road and doing many other things while driving. For god’s sake I didn’t buy my car to be a bumper car like the one on carnivals and many people don’t have the resources to buy cars which get great scores on tests.
You're right, I mean people can just put away smartphones when driving... bro, I drive without ABS

To be fair for Spring 49% is probably a lot for a car that drives up to 120km/h max and is for city only, unlike the Wrangler.
At its price it is competing with Citroen AMI or Renault Twizy and those aren't cars, don't have airbags at all, but will be used in same scenarios.
My car has nothing no airbags no safety gadgets but I'm a good driver
Every car is dangerous if the Nut holding the steering wheel is of poor or sub-standard quality.
Safest car in the consumer world is the Volvo
no, its car in the garage,,,
I love how cars in fast and furious gets crashed, no airbacks and drivers not wearing seatbelt, but still nothing happens. Not even single scarth on body.
The Dacia Spring is called the Renault Kwid and it's a decent seller
Ando it’s not actually that unsafe, in this case the problem with EuroNcap is that tech like lane keep assist inflict in the result. I agree that are safety features but should not be taken into consideration since gives biased results towards economy cars vs expensive cars

Now the ratings are skewed by including autonomous emergency braking, and lane-keeping. These can be problematic and I would NOT want them in my vehicle unless they could be turned off.
My take on the ford fiesta is. People look at it like a rally car the same as the focus hatchback and drive them like maniacs. No wonder it has such high fatality rate when the owners drive them like pricks.

Yes i own a 100. The first car in a Ncap test. But that was in 1997 what has it to do with 2022.
This is factually inaccurate - you're showing the European model Fiesta and that has a 5-star Euro Ncap rating - you need to do much better research
Most of these cars like Jeep Wrangler or Dacia Spring are not supposed to have luxurious features, these cars only to go A to B without many problems at low cost (not cheap since cheap means low cost and low quality) (The reason why Jeep Wrangler is still in production and why Dacia sells well in UK)
Mostly all are the smallest cars available. Imagine that.
Poor video - zero stars. Confusing mix of years for the same car - with dramatically diverse REAL NCAP. Ford Fiesta is one case - check the real NCAP scores for various years - shown were vintage Fiesta (poor real score, though in line with many other small cars of the era), followed seconds later with current model which had 5 stars.

It was a panda that killed Princess Diana who was in the back of a Mercedes saloon S class
They found the panda car burnt out owned by a free lance photographer who eventually committed suicide but not in the car....
The Fiat Panda of 1997 was a different car, the panda that allegedly hit princess Diana would have been a mark 2 which is a heavily facelifted mark 1 which dated back to the 1970s, now that would have been fatal in a crash, no safety gear what so ever, not even side impact bars in the doors. That was a mark 4 panda which is a much safer car compared to a mark 1 or 2. I remember it being a Fiat Uno being the car, slightly bigger.

My thoughts
How many 97 cars are still on the road in2022 !
Not really relevant now.
As for lane assist,
Brake assist ect
Both can cause problems!
Driver training is more practical,
Taking away driver basic foundations
Only benefit drunk drivers ect
Lack of lane assist, lack of lane departure control and brake assist (automatic braking) doesn't make a vehicle inherently dangerous. As soon as I saw that I knew I couldn't take this list seriously.
The only reason why there are so many accidents involving Ford Fiesta is only because it's an affordable, GOOD car. Actually the best of B segment among the equivalent other options. Therefore it's super popular. There are tons of them on the roads.
I owned a Jeep Wrangler as a spare car in southern Spain 🇪🇸 for my German Shepard’s
Never had a problem with it a lot of fun value .!
I suppose as long as you don't crash it at 40mlh into a concrete wall then yeah it's good value
You wouldn't know there's a problem until you crash it duh
ncap requirements became ridiculous just to sell mostly useless tech. Even 1 star cars here would have 4-5 stars out of five 10 yrs ago. Passive safety is ok on all cars sold in Europe in 2022 - they dont have lane keeping assist imagine that :) In the last 20 yrs there was almost zero development in structural safety of the cars only gizmos (some useful though). But there is only one active safety system, which is really useful and thats ABS, saved more lives than all the other safety features combined.
Those scores should come from how the occupents inside the car would do in a crash.
Giving a safe car zero starts for not having something like lane keep assist is hilariously weak excuse.
Gee.. maybe the Ford Fiesta is driven by young inexperienced drivers. Duh! Come on people. Try some independent thinking.
Thumbs Up !
Bro, in Romania if a car has seatbealts is consider the safest car...
Lol
the renault is the same as the girls name zoe
You left out the Mustang, that thing only got 2 stars.
Small cars will naturally be less safe . Drive a 6,000 lbs. SUV and you'll be fine .
NCAP is a bs rating
Thing's like airbags and physical integrity sure
But thing's like lane keep assist? Auto hampering cars built down to a price, but will still protect you IF you have a crash
Not to tempt fate, but I've never owned a car with 'Lane keep' and I've never had a crash
Why the hell would I care for small animals and pedestrians? Lane keeping system is something that can go bad in very bad way.
This video is pretty irrelevant, since many of the tests that are cited took place years in the past. The title saying these are the most dangerous cars in 2022 is untrue. It's also odd that the narrator has an American accent since many of these cars aren't sold in the USA.
I owned the Ford Fiesta and it was the best hatchback i had for best 3 years. i needed to get a bigger car due to family. So people who get into crashes are the bad drivers in our society or its just bad timing. no car is bad unless its used differently.

Do you any recommendations( I prefer a diesel one )? Thank you!
And now look a the Latin NCAP result.
1. What are '97 cars doing here?
2. Lane assist is absolute cancer, I hate it with a burning passion.
In the world? So I guess the home manufactured cars in places like Russia, India, China are all good then?
Makes you wonder how we oldies survived the 1960s with thin steering wheels, interior bare metal, external corrosion, no sestbelts, leaky petrol leaded exhaust fumes, dodgy drum brakes and thin tyres etc. Still, at least an Austin Cambridge or Hillman Minx had character and was unlikely to go much faster than 60 mph.
I was seriously considering A Renault Zoe - Until I loked at Euro NCAP.
Renault "ZO HEY" not Renault ZO 😂
what lane keeping system have to do with safety feature ?
Lol,so does my car with only 2 airbag,abs,esc,considered unsafe vehicle?😅
soooo gooddd
My brother crashed a mk 7 fiesta in to a barrier head on with about 100 kph. He came out completely ok.
