The steering wheel and pedals swap sides, but the bits under the bonnet that don't relate to steering and controls stay put, y'see.

It scored less points than the Toyota Aurion, and even with the side pole test and maximum points scored, the Toyota Aurion would have missed out on a 5-star ANCAP rating by less than one point.

However, There are often differences between Euro NCAP and ANCAP when the airbag count and positing is exactly the same. Thank for saying Alborz.

Holden should now since the 6 airbags are std and a 5 star result would prettyy much be in the bag now. Joober i dont know the exact reason but i read that Toyota also didnt give one for the Aurion.

Rich - why did Holden refuse to give a car for the pole test? Great small cars, good results.

Rich – why did Holden refuse to give a car for the pole test?

Euro NCAP gave the i30 4 stars (still very good) but it shows differences. The Barina gets 2 stars by the way and the Barina Sedan (Cheverolet Aveo) only gets one and a half stars by Euro NCAPs testing! What I dont get is that by Holdens standards today, the Daewoo Lanos would be the Barina if they were still making it and in 1998, the Lanos got two and half stars in a crash test! Bit odd. You should be geneally safe in either of these cars though - especially the Lancer. Euro NCAP havn't tested the Lancer yet but when they do, it probablly will get 5 stars because of the build quality and all the airbags. This is why I dont trust ANCAP.

Either way if you want to buy a safe car then don't but one regardless I thought i had read in a wheels mag that they had restested the barina sedan and gave it 3, but could be wrong.

Its currently showing the Barina as 2 stars and the Viva as 4. The Barina would score 5 stars if the pole in the pole test was made of jelly. “Does anyone know the results for the current barina and viva? jus curious…”
