Stay away from any type of volks and old fords when it comes to safety, volks parts are hard to get and has cheap body old fords that are not muscle have so many factory issues example the pinto or the focus
Fun fact: If the car stays perfectly intact after the crash, that's also bad. To get a good score in these tests, the car's engine bay, and ONLY the engine bay, should crumple upon impact. That way the shock is absorbed by the car and not passed to the passengers.
i saw ppl mention it was the indian verison or smth. Apparently they remove a bunch of features to save costs etc.. hopefully i dont think you can drive too fast over there. But still. VW have some of the safest cars out there so i was surprised to see a quite recent polo here, even tho it performed the best@@quelandil5738
in Brasil/ China in his moment are much popular that i think the chinese car makers copy this quality model car lol and in Brasil because Latin american no have good regulations .
@Juliano Moraesoli Yes, but the dummy's "bones" are made of steel. Which is actually denser than human bones. So the fact the steel neck snapped off like that means that a real driver would have definitely been killed in this crash.
I find it somewhat disturbing to see the crash test with the sierra, as it is awfully close to what can happen in reality with that car. A little over 20 years ago, my girlfriend and I were on a winter holiday in Norway. On the way back to our cabin, we were some of the first on the scene after a traffic accident where a vw transporter and a ford sierra had collided. Almost nothing had happened to the transporter, where the driver had only received a wound on the shin. On the other hand, the female driver of the Sierra had unfortunately experienced the same thing as you see in this video. The steering wheel had completely smashed her jaw, the dashboard had folded around her and her seat had been pushed into the B pillar and bent it. It was therefore not possible to get her out. She was still alive but unconscious. While we waited for the ambulance I tried to make sure she could breathe, but unfortunately she succumbed to her injuries shortly before the ambulance arrived. Hope she could feel that someone was with her until the end.
I was driving back home from visiting family and saw a brand new Ford F-150 in the ditch upside down, hazards still going off. I went up to it and the roof had been completely flattened, looked like the roof was just gone the hood and tailgate were touching the ground, there was no window opening to see inside but the truck was still running so I called 911. While I was waiting for the ambulance they said to find any occupants and make sure they are breathing. I managed to lever the door a bit, and just saw airbag, moved it out of the way and felt someone’s wet shoulder, but all I saw was red, and their shoulder was so close to the ground I realized they had no head and the wet I was feeling was his obliterated skull and all the blood leaking onto the roof… I just sat on the side of the road I was so horrified the ambulance arrived and thought I was part of the accident I was in such a shocked state.
Wow what an awful thing to experience. I guess at the very least, as you said, hopefully you made the woman feel less anxiety knowing someone was there trying to help... :(
That Volkswagen Santana is a whole new level of scary. The fact that the entire front half of the car practically disintegrated on contact is just worrying
Those tests were different than most of the rest. It was a solid full height wall instead of the half wall/median. A tall flat concrete wall is much less forgiving.
Old cars: Built sturdy so as not to take damage when crashed, more likely to injure the passengers Modern cars: Built to crumple when crashed in order to keep the passengers safer Sierra 91: Built to shove steering column through driver's head
9:15 I grew up in China and my neighbor - a lovely mid-aged couple lost their only son, with whom I hung out quite often as a kid, in a VW Satana (Passat B2) in an accident. He was driving under influence, the car crashed into another car and rolled into a ditch, killing 3 out of 4. I cannot forget when my mother told me on the phone "Li is not here anymore." The family soon disintegrated because it was just too heavy for them to get over with. My father told me Li was driving under influence but the car wasn't speeding. It cramped into a pile of steel. It could have been prevented, but Volkswagen, for their own benefit, sold this model with quarter century old safety features until 2007. They praise this car to be a sales legend, but I will never forgive it.
Sorry to hear about that. Wish car manufacturers would care less about sales when it comes to the danger they put their drivers into. It makes no sense, this VW should have even been legal in the first place
ChrisCarGuy - Hi Chris :) it’s okay. Let him say whatever he wants to. This world, including the internet is such a place. Not all things get straight in the end, not all mankind are kind, but that’s okay. It’s more important that you have a happy and safe day, wherever you are.

Hopefully people were dettered from buying these vehicles if they were lucky enough to see any of this footage before purchase.
Someone said the commodore had 1000 kg of sand in it and that is what made the car crash bad My dad was in that car and crashed it and he is still alive so I don’t see it being bad
The Ford Sierra was by far the worst, the steering column/wheel will literally decapitate you. I'm quite shocked at how badly the Citroen Saxo did considering this was aimed toward younger drivers who invariably have more accidents, you'd think closer attention would have been made to the safety aspect.
@@Tezorus well, the next ones must have been better, I bought one brand new in 99 (saxo) it had side impact and airbags. Never crashed it on the 2 years, 38k miles I had it mind. Think this was why they redesign it, the peugeot 106 was the same car.
I remember the time when the chinese "Landwind" made it to the european market in the early 2000s. It failed the important crash tests because the vehicle safety was equal to the safety standards from the 1960s. The dutch importer, who was responsible for the sale on the european market, said that you cannot expect perfect safety for only 15.000 Euro...
13:45 is invalid. The Holden Commodore they used in this test had some of its structural integrity removed and also was run at much higher speeds than normal testing. The purpose in this instance wasn’t to test the safety of the car, rather ensure the testing equipment could withstand the forces of the crashes as it was a brand new facility and they were ensuring the equipment wouldn’t suffer any catastrophic failures. The Commodores weren’t actually near this bad in a crash.
From what I've heard, the crash test of the old Holden Commodore at 13:45 wasn't actually to test the car, it was to test the newly built facility. They ran it at far greater speeds than typical crash tests, and had removed some structural integrity of the vehicle prior to the test.
@@AbderianForge Yeah, but 40 mph to 0 mph in an instant is still going to ruin someone's day! 40 mph doesn't seem that fast these days, but that is still significant momentum capable of doing a lot of damage.
@@1965vw - Walk into the edge of a door at 2 mph and see what sudden stop is like. 40 mph is 400 times as much kinetic energy as 2 mph. ke = ½mv². It's that little ² that's the killer.
Crazy how the A-pillar completely fails in a lot of these, which in turn leads to the roof collapsing. Resulting in the driver impacting the A-pillar with their head=basilar skull fracture=instant death.
The Commodore had previously been in a major accident. The video is to serve as a warning to anyone who might think they can repair two damaged cars by welding the “good” halves together.
I don't know if this is just one of those stories you hear down at the pub, but apparently in the 50s / 60s there was a car that when involved in head-on collision would deflect the glove box open, then the sharp metal would decapitate the passenger, and finally forward inertia would result in the glove box closing it's self again. End result is that in many cases, accident responders would mysteriously find the passenger's head in the glove box. I know it seems far fetched, but back then all cars were death traps, with styling full of spikes and sharp edges.
@@Beelzebubby91 I am glad it was just a mock test though, the car was going more than 120 kph, crashed into a non-deformable wall and had extra weight in the back.
Safety and fuel economy are the only 2 things I give newer cars. Design, ease of maintenance, initial purchase price, customization, comfort and space all go to old cars
With the cars from the 80s and early 90s (before a standardised crash test was introduced) you sort of expect it to be bad. With the more modern cars from the 2000s it is quite shocking. And also a great illustration that with car safety, you get what you pay for!
It's not about years, it's about mandated safety features like reinforced chassis and airbags(lol). In markets like EU and US, these things were mandatory for quite a while while in markets like South America and India (for which a lot of the cars tested here are made for) they are not (at least at the time of filming) and people there don't care as much or just can't afford the safety features so companies cut them, at least from the base model (on which the testing is done).
The VW T3 clip wasn't a test of the vehicle, it was actually a test of the facilities as the vehicle was loaded up with concrete and crashed at over 60 mph.
The Holden Commodore being in the compilation needs clarification. The car was pulled into the barrier at 100 kph (about 60 mph) to test it's "catastrophic crash integrity" after a major repair. Specifically, this was a warning against buying a car created by welding together two donor car halves. At any rate a car hitting a solid barrier at that speed will probably disintegrate.
Quite a few of those tests were done at much higher speeds than normal, that VW pickup was also loaded with extra weight in the back. The videos really for entertainment rather than education.
I had crashed with a Skoda Fabia sedan built in 2002. I was going over 60 km/h. I crashed in a big tree and the front airbags didnt open. The damage was predominantly in the front, the cooler was u shaped. Some people gathered around the car to see if I'm ok and wondered how the damage was smaller then they expected. Because they heard a loud crash. Later i sold the car for parts and the engine too. It was still operational.
@Steve1766 Yes, i was wearing a seat belt. My mechanic told me later that there was a big rock the size of a tire in front of the tree, and i hit it with the front axle and broke it. The damage would be even more if i didn't hit that rock. Maybe the airbags would be activated.🤷♂️
I laughed so hard on the second crash test -- the Ford Sierra -- when the dummy on the driver's side had his head decapitated. I don't know if I've ever seen that happen before.
@@sapnupuas6950 commonity tbh, Im aware of the fact they are well made so their quality is actually solid but.... These cars are just boring of that reason, there's nothing what I'd love about them.
+Puercoespin 500c The polo does have airbags, in every country. Those tests were part of a survey done by the ADAC to demonstrate the importance of airbags. But the idiot running this channel didn't care.
As a rule of thumb: The older the car, the unsafer it is. Btw, some of these cars like the "Comodore" (whatever that is) and the "Volkswagen T3" I am fairly certain are cheap, license built copies built in China in the 90's or so. They seem to have been made with the cheapest and worst steel they could find since these cars have zero rigidity and crumble like tinfoil.
the commodore is a opal ,German car , Holden built and designed there own chassis after 2005 , lol now BMW bought it ,i think in 2018 or 19. RIP Holden
How fast were the Santana and Commodore going?? That wasn’t a standard 35mph/60kph test. I’m guessing they were both going considerably faster, like 75/120.
Looks like, after taking some rudimentry measures and looking up the dimensions of the VW Santana, that the test at 9:17 was taken at a speed of approximately 100 km/h (62 mph), which is much higher than the speed at which standardized full frontal crashtests are being done, namely 56 km/h (35 mph). Take that into account when judging the safety of these cars. For instance, it looks like the Holden Commodore was tested at a similar (non-standard) high speed.
According to another poster on here the Commo was used to test the equipment out and not the car it's self and was indeed run into the test rig far faster than usual. No test dummies in either car as well so it looks like it indeed a test or calibration type event.
Also, another poster here stated the cars were filled with weight in the rear of them to test the equipment. These tests were definitely not for the safety of the vehicles but calibration of a new facility. The speeds were not typical and the extreme weight added to the rear end of the vehicles.
13:10( my uncle lives in el salvador and he has the volkwagen T3 and he was driving and this semi truck was going 90 mph and slammed into him and surprisingly he survived!)
Likewise the Commodore test, wasn't testing the (modified,weighted,100km/h) car at all, but the facility itself. At least one of these cars was rated 3 stars, far from the 'worst'
At the risk of stating the obvious, the A pillar and the roofline tell the tale in the worst of these tests. Crumpling the engine compartment actually is actually helpful. But when you see the A pillar move and the roof buckle, you know the people compartment is getting very small very fast.
In all fairness, the 156, Baleno, Xantia, Saxo seemed good in comparison to the rest on here. The T3 test was actually a test of the facilities, not the vehicle. They increased the speed more than usual, as well removing parts of the structure.
imo, the most violent crashes are:
- Ford Sierra (0:30)
- Volkswagen Santana (9:15)
- Volkswagen T3 (13:05)
- Commodore (13:45)
iirc 13:05 is actually a Chinese work truck
13:05 you can't survive that crash
that truck looks like it’s just molded aluminum as thin as the aluminum on soda cans with nothing porotecting it
Stay away from any type of volks and old fords when it comes to safety, volks parts are hard to get and has cheap body old fords that are not muscle have so many factory issues example the pinto or the focus

From what I've heard, the crash test of the old Holden Commodore at 13:45 wasn't actually to test the car, it was to test the newly built facility. They ran it at far greater speeds than typical crash tests, and had removed some structural integrity of the vehicle prior to the test.
That would invalidate the results
@@garydomaz1849 they weren’t gathering results, they were just checking that the facility could withstand crash forces without failing in any way.
That explains the lack of crash test dummies in the car
BTW Holden shut down operations last year i guess
They had a choice, crash the Commo into a solid wall or leave it out in a stiff breeze. Seems the wall was less dramatic. : )
Moral of the story: Don’t drive cars directly into solid walls at speed and expect to live.
Not even much speed, the NCAP is performed at 40mph
@@AbderianForge Yeah, but 40 mph to 0 mph in an instant is still going to ruin someone's day! 40 mph doesn't seem that fast these days, but that is still significant momentum capable of doing a lot of damage.

Crazy how the A-pillar completely fails in a lot of these, which in turn leads to the roof collapsing. Resulting in the driver impacting the A-pillar with their head=basilar skull fracture=instant death.
Which is why crumple zones and a safety cell exist. Crumple zones crumple and absorb the energy. A safety cell is very rigid and has to stay intact.

I don't know if this is just one of those stories you hear down at the pub, but apparently in the 50s / 60s there was a car that when involved in head-on collision would deflect the glove box open, then the sharp metal would decapitate the passenger, and finally forward inertia would result in the glove box closing it's self again. End result is that in many cases, accident responders would mysteriously find the passenger's head in the glove box. I know it seems far fetched, but back then all cars were death traps, with styling full of spikes and sharp edges.
Lmao

Jeremy Clarkson needs to know.
With the cars from the 80s and early 90s (before a standardised crash test was introduced) you sort of expect it to be bad. With the more modern cars from the 2000s it is quite shocking. And also a great illustration that with car safety, you get what you pay for!
It's not about years, it's about mandated safety features like reinforced chassis and airbags(lol). In markets like EU and US, these things were mandatory for quite a while while in markets like South America and India (for which a lot of the cars tested here are made for) they are not (at least at the time of filming) and people there don't care as much or just can't afford the safety features so companies cut them, at least from the base model (on which the testing is done).

Thats crazy, the back simply kept going
The Holden Commodore being in the compilation needs clarification. The car was pulled into the barrier at 100 kph (about 60 mph) to test it's "catastrophic crash integrity" after a major repair. Specifically, this was a warning against buying a car created by welding together two donor car halves. At any rate a car hitting a solid barrier at that speed will probably disintegrate.
Quite a few of those tests were done at much higher speeds than normal, that VW pickup was also loaded with extra weight in the back. The videos really for entertainment rather than education.

It’s a test for the wall, not an actual crash test thank god.
the Volkswagen T3 was loaded with 200 kilos of bricks, and launched at speeds over 100kph.in the real crash test it did fairly well.
yep also the santana was going 160 km/h
and the santana was also loaded with sand on the trunk
you're dead either way
fair enough
almost correct but it was 2000 kilos
I had crashed with a Skoda Fabia sedan built in 2002. I was going over 60 km/h. I crashed in a big tree and the front airbags didnt open. The damage was predominantly in the front, the cooler was u shaped. Some people gathered around the car to see if I'm ok and wondered how the damage was smaller then they expected. Because they heard a loud crash. Later i sold the car for parts and the engine too. It was still operational.
was you wearing a seatbelt at least ?
@Steve1766 Yes, i was wearing a seat belt. My mechanic told me later that there was a big rock the size of a tire in front of the tree, and i hit it with the front axle and broke it. The damage would be even more if i didn't hit that rock. Maybe the airbags would be activated.🤷♂️

As a rule of thumb: The older the car, the unsafer it is.
Btw, some of these cars like the "Comodore" (whatever that is) and the "Volkswagen T3" I am fairly certain are cheap, license built copies built in China in the 90's or so. They seem to have been made with the cheapest and worst steel they could find since these cars have zero rigidity and crumble like tinfoil.
Commodore - Australia
T3 - Germany (maybe the US too)
Not in the case for an old Volvo bro, that cars are extremely safe

How fast were the Santana and Commodore going?? That wasn’t a standard 35mph/60kph test. I’m guessing they were both going considerably faster, like 75/120.
Someone said they were loaded with concrete and thrown as fast as possible to test the (at the time) new facility

The second test the Ford Sierra was absolutely hilarious it obliterated the driver, completely decapitating. Lmao 🤣
At least the airbag went off... not that it served much purpose.
Looks like, after taking some rudimentry measures and looking up the dimensions of the VW Santana, that the test at 9:17 was taken at a speed of approximately 100 km/h (62 mph), which is much higher than the speed at which standardized full frontal crashtests are being done, namely 56 km/h (35 mph).
Take that into account when judging the safety of these cars. For instance, it looks like the Holden Commodore was tested at a similar (non-standard) high speed.
According to another poster on here the Commo was used to test the equipment out and not the car it's self and was indeed run into the test rig far faster than usual.
No test dummies in either car as well so it looks like it indeed a test or calibration type event.
unfortunately 60mph/100kmh is the speed which most countries highways/motorways are
Also, another poster here stated the cars were filled with weight in the rear of them to test the equipment. These tests were definitely not for the safety of the vehicles but calibration of a new facility.
The speeds were not typical and the extreme weight added to the rear end of the vehicles.

SaTaNeAtChEeSe IV Username checks out
Hm
And the first Sierra I think
Likewise the Commodore test, wasn't testing the (modified,weighted,100km/h) car at all, but the facility itself.
At least one of these cars was rated 3 stars, far from the 'worst'
At the risk of stating the obvious, the A pillar and the roofline tell the tale in the worst of these tests. Crumpling the engine compartment actually is actually helpful. But when you see the A pillar move and the roof buckle, you know the people compartment is getting very small very fast.
Oooo😮
In all fairness, the 156, Baleno, Xantia, Saxo seemed good in comparison to the rest on here. The T3 test was actually a test of the facilities, not the vehicle. They increased the speed more than usual, as well removing parts of the structure.
