Default Re: Honda Insight Most Deadly Car in America

I had a 1988 CRX HF - the closest thing to an Insight. The HF had the narrowest tires of the CRXs and would be hazardous on slick roads. Strangely, I have not had that problem on the Insight.

Oh, and the Airbag Hazard....

A defensive driver instructor was trying to scare me into sitting as far from the steering wheel as possible. The first airbags deployed at 195mph - they now go at 110mph. I'm still not convinced that you need over three feet from the steering wheel.

He was telling the class that the airbag could tear your face off, so I might look like this.

....or maybe that would be cool.
