i am just taking a stab at the 2dr vs 4dr = same/similar safety ratings-
i can see alsorts of ways that the ratings could be different-
the same way roll over ratings of a car w/ or w/o sunroof could be different
after all- nowadays- car designers are making all of these collapsable/move the shock of the crash to another part of the car type designs..and the structure of the body has a lot to do with it
kinda like back in the days when some cars had suicide doors-
really- would you expect a car w/nothing but the floor and the roof to keep you safe in a t-bone crash? (and true- you had a beefy frame-but the car is still going to collapse till it got to that frame- esp.back in those days)
too bad kia isnt buying up police crash reports of the koup and displaying that data-
but in real world -
i trust this lil koup to cover my ass if some idiot were to try to kill me again in a crash.
and it appears my insurance company (usaa) trusts it also-
my rate went up about 20 dollars a month (10 payments a year)
compared to my 1 airbag/abs only/discs up front/drums rear 1995 pont grand am.
still-i'd love to finally get a true NTSB rating - just to have yet another reason to brag to all the folks i know that spent more and got less
