I'd just not read them if you like your Xantias :-)

Of course there will be those that say NCAP doesn't matter because they don't intend having a crash. That does take into account other morons who might crash into you.

I have no room to talk. I drive down the M1, around the M25 and up the M40 in a low slung bathtub made of aluminium and wood, with a wheel missing....

Yea I've known for years the xantia isn't too good unfortunately.

However the c5 one big plus point is it IS a safe car. Look at the crash tests for the c5..Zero roof buckle on them now that does impress me ...

I do mean in head on collisions. Side impacts a slightly different story..

Well thanks for destroying my love of the S1.

Looks like the passenger suffered a broken wrist (or a limp wrist) in the BX crash test.

Having a rethink now!

Might buy one of these.
