Don't crash one or get hit by one eh!
I find that crash test interesting if you look at it in greater detail. In the actual crash parts of the test it didn't do terribly. Not terribly well either, but fairly acceptable.Shock horror

A lot of the low score comes from the lack of crash-prevention technology, which I personally think should be given a separate score independent to the crash rating.
Also interesting is that a pole-test was simply not conducted. There is no explanation as to why, and that knocks a whole 8 point of the adult occupant score for no apparent reason.
I appreciate that it's not the safest score, but I don't think the one-star headline is truly representative.

New Suzuki Jimny - £16k
Plus £500 to get the rear window emblazones with your salon detailsloads of fun when you find that some colloquialisms are well traveled
a friend, visiting the US from Down Under, made a similar remark about another car with questionable credentials
"You guys call it a hairdresser's car, too?" he said
we laughed and laughed -- probably more about our discovery of shared culture than about the car

All of the cars quoted in this article are utterly rubbish to drive on a normal road so unless you live on a farm or have a desire to drive around in knee deep mud they are not worth bothering with ( and yes I have driven one of the new Wranglers when they first came out in Australia it was laughably bad as a road car.
Jk and jl wranglers fine on road; not sure where this view comes from DomRoePhotography said:
Can't help but think it's a pointless article... but then it's a pointless vehicle over in the UK anyway! Same as any Defender argument, the type of people spending £45k on one of these are unlikely to go smashing it around a pay and play every weekend, and anyone else who actually goes off road on a regular basis will buy a Ranger/D-Max/Hilux etc...
This new "Chelsea" Wrangler (same as the posh Defenders) is just for looking flash. This new one looking even more "Kahn" straight from the factory, IMO.
