Five stars!
Thanks for the link. |
what about the offset crash test, did they do that yet?
|
They did side impact, but not offset yet. See page for details.
|
THANKS NISSAN!
one less reason to get raped on insurance, and I need all the help I can get. |
oh that poor car...
|
that's some good news!!:icon04: :icon04: :icon04: the video's pretty cool... too bad the side impact video doesn't work....:(

Nice! :D
|
Any chance now that the ratings are out, insurance will lower?
|
the 8 ball says,
No chance in hell |
yeah, not likely, but atleast they probably wont be higher. :eek:
|
I believe the rates are based primarily on the number and value of claims made by 350Z owners.

Whoa....that is so intense...hope I never experience that first hand!
However, my car insurance is really cheap. My boyfriend did some research and we went with a dual coverage on both our cars (my Z and his 2003 Mitsu Eclipse GTS) with Wawanesa for $1300/year with the full coverage and a $500 deductible. It works out that his car is actually the more expensive one...?! Dunno...but we are very happy with them. =) (I'm 31 and he is 27 - so age may play in his part be higher) Yesh, I'm a cradle robber...RAWR! |
Great results for the Z! I'm assuming the two tests were done with a track and side impact and curtains as well. I'm impressed with Nissan so far.... the z's a classic in the making
|
damn that's a gruesome picture above. A....Z.....crashed...into a.....wall :(
|
Great post Intrepid! Thanks for finding that and sharing it with us!
|
notice the door
Notice the door dosent pop out like most cars do, that obviously shows that the z displaces forces appropriately throught the car!
z is me |
