3 star side impact???? Holy christ!!! And the new Corolla is touted as
the safest yet!!! No way would I trust a Corolla in open traffic.

If you really did any research you'd know the safest Corolla is the 2004. In
2005 the seats were changed and in a rear collision they would collapse.

Where are such factors as seat collapse in your research?

With the side airbag option all your test results become null.

Corolla + open traffic = 44 mpg!

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.

Wow, Bob. Did you actually write the comment above? Most rollovers are
preceded by a loss of control, followed by lateral sliding combined
with suspension pumping. Traction control, anti lock brakes and
stability control all help a driver regain control BEFORE this happens.
One reason testers defeat TC and ESC when possible is so they CAN get
the chassis in the air to make the numbers.
Do more research and get back to me.

Why? Regardless of traction and stability devices, the rolling moment of the
Tribeca is a function of weight and geometry. Once the correct moment is
applied to the car, it rolls.
