Crash and new Yaris

I got my first Yaris in August. On my first long trip, a SUV made a left turn in front of me. The car was destroyed, but the cabin was virtually intact. I suffered cracked ribs, sprains, bruises and scrapes, but I was so impressed with the Yaris safety features that I bought another one.

Ouch! I hate to see all these Yarii all crunched up! At least your air bag went off, some of them don't!

The Yaris does exactly what it's supposed to do. Crumple up like tin foil right up to the cabin and stop. Yes, the Yaris totals easily, as does all modern small cars, but it absorbs much of the energy in a crash leaving the occupants walking away with little damage.
