Shock. US Ford Mustang only gets 2 stars in AU crash test
 

Ford Mustang gets two-star ANCAP crash rating

This is what Chinese made cars get here.

No shit.

Well, they usually hit people so I think they do a lot better in those types o accidents.

Yeah, they get better crash ratings in America due to the different standards they use here.

Yes, standards by not including electronic safety mitigation devises in your ratings, pretty backward considering most cars have them.
And for a Mustang door to fly open in a side pole crash test is also a big fail, that has nothing to do with standards.
And it failed twice.
ND MX-5 gets a 5 star rating, as does the CX-5,3, and 6 and CX-9.

Another reason to stay away from Ford and stick with Mazda !

Yeah who wants drive fast anyway. Buy Mazda for wrong wheel drive mediocrity.

So 9k you ready to turn in your RX8 for a mustang, I understand completely. LOL

Nah, I love my RX-8. But the Mustang is light years ahead of anything Mazda has or will have. No one who buys a Mustang gives a shit about crash ratings.

Right up until they crash into something, or their kid, who is driving the car tonight, does.

BC.
