That's amazing, A Pillars weren't even compromised and the cabin seem to have held up well, doubt there was much moving around the footwell area to injure the driver or passenger. Hopefully the coupe ranks just as well.

Your concern over the crumple zone seems odd to me since the Civic aced the test. What are you worried about?
Sure looks like they crumpled to me.
Looks good to me, just like the 9th gen. tests. The front is supposed to crumple in the small offset test. It's what keeps the folks in the passenger cabin alive. The air bags look good to me also. I'll chalk it up to a plus for the 10th gen.
Exactly. As long as the structure of the cabin isn't comprimised, i'm goodLooks good to me, just like the 9th gen. tests. The front is supposed to crumple in the small offset test.

Looking good. Wonder how it would take a side shot, like you see in my avatar pic. I was OK in that wreck, just a broken back but I lived. Can't help but think if I had a passenger, they might not have made it.
Looks good to me, it got the highest markings you can get. Can't ask for better than that.
Too bad I couldn't find a video of a side crash test but the Honda civic scored G in that area so I assume it's just as safe as a frontal crash. My main concern was footwell area being compromised in a frontal hit.
I expect new vehicles to be pretty darn safe. With all the stuff in the news recently, I think that the newest vehicles are likely the most safe ones you can buy.
Seems like all that happened was the dummy was pushed to the side, as can be seen from its arm... not bad.
Given that I have such long legs, this is great news.
