And a better roll over rating than a Tribeca!


Actually, the Corolla scores an 8, while the Tribeca scores a 6. The
Tribeca is tested with vehicle stability and traction control turned
off as with all tests of vehicles of this type. That means the Tribeca
exceeds the rollover rating of the Corolla....and is safer in every
way. No one picks a Corolla for any other reason but low cost. As a 3rd
car, it's still to cheap to deal with.
No thanks. The numbers don't lie. A side impact rating of 3 is awful.
The tiny Kia did better!

Traction and stability control don't help roll overs unless they lower the
center of gravity or the roll over is end to end.

The Corolla is my 5th car.

Numbers don't lie, nor do they make conclusions.

Curious how published ratings don't match what you claim:

The Tribeca:

As one can plainly see the roll over rating of the Corolla is 4 and the
Tribeca is 6. Also the Corolla ranks 4 or 5 for side impacts. Plus it is
faster through the cones than the Tribeca, even when the Tribeca uses the
traction and stability control. Wings on a pig don't make it fly.

Rob, stop hitting yourself in the head with folding chairs. Even Krusty
tripped over the ropes climbing into the ring.

So tell me about your bicycles.
