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.

New Car Test Drive Review

|
Summary:
|
And it's practical, too.
By Albert Hall, NewCarTestDrive.com
This car continues to be too cool to categorize. Its affordability greatly increases the appeal of its unique design. It continues to be fun, and the novelty has still not worn off. In the long term, the PT Cruiser offers a highly functional interior suitable for moving people or cargo. Add in the driving enjoyment and it's an affordable car that should keep its owners smiling for years. And if that's not enough, you can always order it with flames. |
|
Overview:
|
It was only a matter of time. This year, as if the PT Cruiser needed something to make it stand out, Chrysler is offering flames as an option. Order the factory optional tone-on-tone flames and experience a throw-back to your misspent youth. Or maybe just go back in time. Flames or no flames, there's nothing on the road quite like the PT Cruiser. Though it has become a familiar site, it still attracts attention., and that's a big part of its fun. Is it a hot rod, a little panel van or a uniquely styled compact car? People from all walks and stations want a better look, intrigued by the Cruiser's difficult-to-define character. It is, as Chrysler says, too cool to categorize. Yet the really great thing about the PT Cruiser is its combination of practicality and reasonable price. Its affordability and practicality make it suitable for everyday use by everyday people. Shorter than many compact cars, it offers the interior volume of a sport-utility vehicle. And it's almost as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in.
