The new R56 MINI Cooper has gone through the Euro NCAP Crash Test and managed to score a 5 Star crash test rating, scoring 13 out of 16 points for deformation behaviour in a head-on collision, and 16 from 18 points in the side-on and pillar collision.

Sound that the mini really tough..
but my dream girl (a taiwan artist) pass away in road accident by driving mini…. wooowoooo….
whatever the crash test performance, the primary key for safety still refer to human attitude……
Well, these tests are done with the assumption that the occupants are not idiots and wore their seat belts properly. Without wearing a seatbelt, in the event of a crash, you will bounce around inside the car and very likely break something.
Back to the topic, 5 Stat EuroNCAP no longer is something difficult to achieve, they used to say it is nigh on impossible to get a 5 Star rating. But, there are already many cars which have been awarded 5 Stars and a many new cars are also getting maximum points.
Way to go!.. that is my car!!…
Btw, do you guys know that Mini was voted as The Unoffical Gay Car of Thailand last year? hehehe….
I must admit, two guys in a Mini will really make them look like gay.
One guy in a Mini is already gay enough.
It is such a hairdresser's car.
Well.. This prove mini is very good in safety.. i heard mini got almost 6 air bags? Well mini can get 5 stars in Euro NCAP. How about P1? I think 3 star i already laughing… Mini last time are tiny mini car, after being bought by BMW they changed a lot. Well foreign company are not making them worst, but are getting their product more quality and value.. Learn it P1! And maybe our P1 car will be more better in safety and performance in future..
After all it is the true art of engineering by the people of BMW~! BEAUTY +SAFETY

Refer to the article in The Star on 22nd April regarding the defensive driving skills class organised by P1. Only cost RM200. A well worth investment.
