I can vouch for 2001 51 plate meganes after slipping on black ice this morning, flipping 3 times in a ditch and then going up in the air and landing on the roof!!!! 3 adults and 1 3 1/2 year old got out with minor injuries! Happy days!!

    having spent 5 years in vehicle recovery cleaning up after accidents for the police the safety of cars in the last 10 years has improved greatly

    Glad you were all ok!
    After seeing the aftermath of a similar accident a few years ago, where a Megane was on it's roof, battered and bruised, but with the passenger bit all intact, and the 4 passengers standing at the roadside all well, just shaken; we decided our next car would be a Megane. Renaults get bad press sometimes, but stories like yours make me sure we got the right car!!

    It's only a game

    IIRC the Megane I had a 4 NCAP star rating and was the best in its class at the time - if you're going to crash its probably not a bad choice of car.
