I have to admit that Consumer Reports has a thing for Toyotas as they are
always recommended by them.


Mrs. Wave bought a Subaru station wagon (against my wishes I might
add) based on Consumer Reports. She felt it was safer.


One day she's driving along at 30 mph on Thompson Dam Road when a two
kids who stole a 125 Honda dirt bike shot out from a ditch and she hit
the bike broadside.


End result - $6,280 worth of damage to the Subaru - totaled. The
owner of the dirt bike showed up after a call from the SP, picked the
bike up off the ground, started it and drove away.


So much for Consumer Reports.


How did your wife fare? If she wasn't hurt, then the car must have been
fairly safe. Good decision on her part.


What, cause it barely survived an encounter with a 2-300 pound dirt
bike??

Not it, *her*. She wanted the car because it was safe.
