Top 10 Cars with Collision claims against them

http://editorial.autos.msn.com/artic...=800518&page=2

1. Scion tC 165
2. Chevrolet Cobalt SS 161
3. Honda Civic Si 159
4. Subaru Impreza WRX 154
5. Hyundai Tiburon 154
6. Mitsubishi Galant 152
7. Suzuki Forenza 148
8. Cadillac STS 145
9. Mazda RX-8 144
10. Infiniti G35 143


Now, honestly, most of these make sense but... what about 6-8?

So the number to the right of the car is the % compared to the average number of claims/year. So a tC has 65% more claims per year than the average for all cars.

Just because the SS 8's came standard with a cloaking device doesn't mean they're cursed.

I have owned a few silver cars and all three were hit. The A4 was hit and run 3 times. The 9-5 Aero was hit by a flying piece of plywood. The color is cursed!!!

I will say though it is the best color for cruising at a fast pace on the freeway. The color does not stand out and just slips through traffic.

I haven't been in an accident in 10 years! It's all about the driver(s). And I for one am a firm beleiver of defensive driving!

I agree! I've never been in an accident... where I was driving. I've been in 6 as a passenger.

- Hit nearly head on by an idiot making a left right in front of us (black eye, broken blood vessel in it. Looked awesome)
- Rear ended someone
- Was rear ended
- Spun in a civic, ended up in a ditch
- Spun in another civic, clipped a stone wall
- Spun in a saab 900 turbo, pushed part of a guardrail down a cliff (but was fine).


My friends back home claim I'm bad luck, I only *haven't* crashed with 3 of them.

I just wish that I could bear the defensive driving method that my uncle use to taught me. Even if you're careful then the driver beside you isn't, there's still a risk & chance for an accident to take place.

Apparently this is not just with 8's, cause I had a silver cougar before my 8, and i was totaled once and hit 3 times while I owned it. Each time I was not there for the event. Just got to pay for the aftermath.
