Front on the Versa is 3 stars, side impact is 2 stars, rollover is 4 stars. The Crown Vic is 5, 5, 5. The door additions were designed to improve officer survival in a crash, not reduce it (I used to work in law enforcement and that is direct knowledge). I'm not sure why you think I'd look at the Vic's safety ratings and just make an assumption about the Versa, that's extremely presumptive of you.
> She wasn’t injured in her wreck
She was injured, she had bruising and a sore hip for a few weeks, as I stated. This was from a 15MPH crash, one which rendered her car totaled with severe frame damage. If it had been at highway speeds I doubt she would have survived.
Also, the Crown Vic is a 2009, not a 80s or 90s car. It has crumple zones, breakaways, and other modern safety features that all contribute to its exceptional crash rating.
