I was very disappointed to see the rear-end collision test rated only "marginal". I guess the fact that the headrests don't tilt may have reduced the score. One thing I loved about my Passat was the tilting range of the headrest. I will say, though, that the Carmy headrests just HAPPENS to fit me pretty well, so I am hopeful that my protection would be a bit better should I ever be rear-ended. Of course, if anyone else happens to be driving my car, then "marginal" may have greater meaning.
