The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Where plain vanilla is a virtue.
By Bob Markovich, NewCarTestDrive.com
The mid-size sedan segment is also getting more crowded and competitive each year. And that can mean an often-bewildering array of picks. Still, some meet specific needs better than others. Honda's relatively short, nimble Accord is the logical choice for those who value sporty handling over space. Toyota Camrys offer added room and a more potent optional V6. Unfortunately, pricing for Camrys so-equipped begin where many of their competitors top out. Perhaps the ultimate combination of space and handling at a reasonable price is Dodge's Intrepid and--with the new $18,545 G model--Ford's revamped Taurus. The jury's still out on whether the new Taurus will be the long-ball homerun the old model was. Nevertheless, it's a bold statement in a market where safe is more prevalent than sexy. Then there are those who prefer a car that's good in many areas, instead of great in one or two. A sedan that's big and roomy without being hard to park, and tasteful without being conspicuous. If that's you, Chevy's got your favorite flavor. |
|
Overview:
|
If mid-size sedans sold on looks alone, conservatively styled favorites like Honda's Accord, Toyota's Camry and Ford's last-generation Taurus probably wouldn't have made it into so many driveways. All three compete with the Chevrolet Lumina in the largest, highest-volume hunk of the U.S. car market. It's a place where success is measured less on animal attraction than it is on the inner virtues of space and comfort at an attractive price. And in that sense, Chevy's Lumina rates as one of the most successful midsize sedans of all. Consider these specs: At just $16,895 (including a standard $540 destination charge) to start, the front-drive Lumina comes with over 100 cu. ft. of passenger space, a beefy V6 and a 4-speed automatic. That's about $100 less than a smaller 4-cylinder Accord with an automatic, and some $300 south of a basic Camry with a 5-speed you shift yourself. It's also more than $1000 less than Ford's new entry-level Taurus G. Yet the Lumina offers similar overall space and standard equipment, along with an extra 15 hp over the standard Taurus V6.
