Get your wife to go for test drive and she will hopefully like it

I would try the 1.3

Dont be fooled in to thinking they are particularly safe...they might have 2 airbags but there 'aint much meat between you and a tree!!

I think you're confusing driver with car - for idiot drivers, either the ones behind the Copen's steering wheel or other cars that may cause this Copen tree scinareo the Copen has ABS and EBD, quick steering, a road wheel at each corner, low centre of gravity etc. to help you avoid such outcomes

For those that must crash into trees then perhaps it's best for them to have as little protection as possible so think they are continuously thinking about avoiding and preventing accidents
