Now granted the Rover 100 apparently had a really poor rating even at the time (1 star) but look at a Xantia, which only scores 1.5 stars:

The 2017 Honda Jazz on the other hand with a 5 star rating maintains complete structural integrity of the passenger compartment when the 1997 Rover and Xantia both basically crumple up like an accordion.
I'm not a fan of modern cars in general (except Tesla's of course

It will be a sad day when the Xantia has to go but I am looking forward to my next car having a lot better crash safety, especially now that we have a small child.
