FRONT
The rating for the vehicle was limited to 1 star due to the unacceptably high risk of life threatening injury to the driver’s head presented by the steering wheel. The protection offered to the driver’s lower legs was weak due to high rearward clutch and break pedal displacement. There were hazardous structures in the area of the fascia that could be impacted by an occupants knees. The body shell was not capable of withstanding further loading. The ruptures to the footwell threatened the driver’s feet. The car has an airbag control tell-tale (light) in the instrument panel which will be illuminated after turning the ignition key and making contact. Unfortunately there were NO AIRBAGS in this car. The tell-tale may mislead consumers.
