Yeah i would have rather been in more of a frontal collision with it the way the drivers side door caved in to the steering wheel made me think twice about side shots in these cars after all the are kinda little. she was driving a 2005 impala she got air bags and went to the hospital with a broken wrist .... I climbed out the passenger side shook the glass out of my hoodie and i was good to go . The cop est her speed at 30-35 mph upon impact witch is moving ! since i was sitting still ... and even the body shop was amazed that the side air bags did not come out. but they did tell me that toyota air bags take a little more of a shot without deploying than most domestics if the upper ball joint would not have broke Im sure it would have drove home it never quit running never leaked anything in fact it ran until the tow truck driver shut it off " i kept warm it was -3 out side " but never the less i still own a Is 300 and i still feel safe enuff to drive it daily if that says anything , PPl need to slow down just B/C you got snow tires on your impala dose not make you super winter driver . i bought this car with 9,000 miles on it almost new it was a great car got me thru 4 years of college with a kid i never had one problem ever! Its sad to see it go .
