If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

They forgot the Fiat Panda, quite the cheapest ride you can have here, but safe and reliable enough. And much better build than most other microcars, I had the chance to compare last weekend on a big local car show and some of those tinies were cheaply build as hell!
Here´s the sad fact about small car safety with the last series Fiat 600 (I convinced my wife to sell it, she loved the design and loves it still, but...)

The Panda does quite well, but there are safer micro cars still (the C1). Economy is not a mater of safety, not only.

Compared to a cheap BIG chinese build limousine:costumes::costumes::costumes:

Even that SUV (at the end) is a desaster.

And if you watched the TV show "Family Matters", you'll remember that Steve Urkel drove a BMW Isetta....:mixedsmi:

With these "safety" standarts our markets do not really have to be afraid of the cheap chinese vehicles. If upgraded they would not be cheap anymore anyway. If you want to be very very cinic: selling those cars seems to be another crude way of population-control for china:isadizzy: These footages give me goosebumps!!! Safety is one main aspect for me when buying a car, especially for German roads.
