    The concerns were a great deal more than just airbags. The car would crumple like tissue paper and kill everyone inside as well killing most people outside.

    This was done in nineteen ninety-seven, so I looked for a more recent test but that one fared even worse.

    OH MY GOD, a car that scores 17 out of 20 or 4 stars for the kids (or passengers not in the front) (same as zafira 2005) kills everyone inside?

    Calm down dear, it's only an ncap rating.
  • For what the OP requested, the grand voyager is the ONLY choice.

    I suppose you missed:
    The Voyager did so badly in the frontal impact that it earned no points, making it the worst of the group by some margin. The body structure became unstable and the steering column was driven back into the driver's chest and head. The Voyager acquitted itself better in the side-impact test, but there was still a fair risk of the driver injuring his abdomen. Chrysler chose the child restraints used in the tests, but the company makes no set recommendations to buyers. Euro NCAP believes it is the manufacturer's responsibility to provide proper restraint for every occupant and is surprised that Chrysler do not recommend a child seat for the Voyager.

    Front impact
    The steering wheel and air bag were forced upwards and into the driver's face, hitting his head hard and putting strain on his neck. The driver's chest also hit the steering wheel, increasing risk of injury. His knees were poorly protected too, and the chances of him injuring his left thigh were very high. The footwell spilt open and his lower legs and feet were poorly protected. The passenger also ran a considerable risk of chest injury.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
