Hey, I am so incredibly bored tonight, so i decided to look at random info on svx's posted around the net. I noticed that Alacrity and Jamsvx have posted there on their opinions of the car. I just thought i would share the post of a lady who was very happy with her SVX and how she believes it saved her life. I am constantly amazed and proud of how well these cars hold up in accidents.

Yesterday, September 19th 2000, a guy ran an intersection as I was traveling 45mph. I had no time to stop. The next thing I know my air bag deployed, and my 3 year old daughter was in the back seat. I always thought if you hit someone head on you would be seriously injured or dead. But I was fine, except for the bumps and bruises. I couldn't believe it. The guy I hit was in a Full size Dodge extra cab pick-up, the collision flipped him upside down. He is OK too. The front end collision to my car made the engine drop down. The SVX motor is in sideways and is designed to do this in a front end collision. This car is built so well I had no interior damage, and because of the well contured seats I sustained minimal injures. The firemen said I walked away from this accident because of my air bag, and the way the engine exorbed the damage. My car is totaled!! But, it saved me from serious injures. If I was in a car that did not have these features, I would be in the hospital right now. My daughter is ok too, she was just shaken up.

That is pretty cool! I always hoped my SVX was a safe car but never really heard any reports one way or the other about it. Thanks for sharing that with us

Cigar,

I have read accounts of SVX rollovers, SVXers driving into trees, and being hit by other cars.
With one glaring exception, all SVX drivers and passengers walked away.

Unfortunately, the exception was fatal. However, in this incident the SVXer was very DWI, going way to fast, and doing all the wrong things.


Subarus are quite safe. My wife totaled her '96 Outback and walked away. I was on cloud nine for about a month.
