Spark rates best among mini cars, a couple of unfair comparisons. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/minicars-fare-worst-vehicle-frontal-051956429.html

I would think you would die in this crash.

Do you agree or not agree?

This is the problem with designated crash tests, engineers can produce a car to pass the test, mix it up and things start to fail. Changes to tests will make things better though.

You might get out of it, remember not a 100% frontal so the middle nad righ side would be OK, probably need all the airbags.

The small offset frontal crash tests are the worst possible type of accident. Not many vehicles pass the small offset test very well, even many larger cars and suvs perform poorly in that test. Look what happened to the Kia Soul in the iihs small offset frontal, and compare to the Spark.
