Survivorship bias, sure, but I mean I love driving honda ****boxes and I think their poor crash ratings are offset by incredible visibility, great braking, and awesome handling. I know I have avoided a few accidents in my old EF and if I had been driving something like my Astro, I would have stuffed it for sure.

Astro's are not known for safety either. Astro crash test

Yeah they're pretty bad, lol. I try not to think about it and drive careful.

Yes you are correct. But could you not have done the same thing in an equivalent new Civic for example?

I am not gonna lie but I got hit from the side (minor) in my 08 GTI a few months ago by a Sierra. Nothing I could do about it. But it did put things in perspective for me. Having the latest and greatest tech could save your life.
