they dont crash well. they crumple really badly and ended up in a V shape.
(was 100km into back of two stationary cars (side by side) on SH1 while towing a ride on lawnmower on a trailer)

The american highway research group (I dont know if thats exactly what they call themself, but they crash test a lot of cars) gave the 3rd gen an occupant safety rating of 'very good' - its one of only a few cars ever to rate that high.
Search 'legacy crash test' on youtube, the video is on there

Yeh - you are wrong. The B4 can be anything, so long as it's got Bilstein shocks.

No your not mad they are a great car thats why there are so many on the road , just get your local mechanic to check it out if your worried , I have a B4 and it has never let me down , pretty economical as well . As long as you have it regually serviced it will be fine .
