| While OK, the Mini's results are not outstanding. Compared to the VW Lupo, similar in size to the Mini, but an older and lighter design. Front Mini 10 Lupo 12 Side Mini 14 Lupo 14 Also, changes had to be made to the Mini's airbag sensors and side impact beams. Does anyone know when these changes were introduced? |

| You could argue that Lab Tests don't mirror real life, but hey they have to start somewhere. NCAP will be including assessments of active safety soon - ABS, handling, steering, seating, traction control, EBD, bonnet stripes, tinted windows and MINI2 stickers.  Hopefully the MINI will score highly.What is shocking is the pedestrian score for the Range Rover @ 6%! At least I'd rather be hit by a MINI.

| I'd have to agree with that, give me the choice of being hit by a Range Rover or a MINI, I think I'd choose the MINI too Currently driving: Silver Volkswagen Lupo GTi, 6 speed, 125bhp |
