Powdered Toast Man Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Very cool. I actually feel safe driving the Journey. I used to have a Neon, and one of the big reasons I got rid of it was I never felt safe on the road. The car was solid, but I always dreaded getting t-boned by a large SUV because I knew I'd be dead.

Appalachian Journey Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 They should've put ear muffs on the dummy to go with his gym shorts and oxford shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briando Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks for posting the video - had not seen it before. Guess that is what makes the Journey an IIHS Top Safety Pick! Hope I never have to take advantage of all those safety features... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMR Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Recently in Alberta Canada, a drunk driver in Range Rover was driving on the wrong lane on highway 2, and collided head-on with a Journey, 4 people in the journey died, and fifth person has critical injuries. The driver of range rover has minor injuries and has been released from the hospital. I know it's no fair to compare Journey to Range rover since they're in different price categories, just want to remind all fellow journey owners drive defensively, you never know who's out there on the road. http://calgary.ctv.c...hub=CalgaryHome Edited March 7, 2012 by DMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air1rfc Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I travel often to Calgary for work for weeks at a time. I read the Calgary Sun. Seems to me like the folks that way have not figured out that drinking and driving don't mix. There many cases of that on hwy 2. We even lost a coworker in an accident like the one above. Sad. I completely agree that defensive driving is far better than relying on the vehicle to save your life. So here are the Five Seeing Habits 1. Aim high in steering. 2. Get the big picture. 3. Keep your eyes moving. 4. Leave yourself an out. 5. Make sure they see you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleO7 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm wondering what year the Journey was and wether the people in the Journey were wearing seatbelts? But as air1rfc says defensive driving is still the best method then relying on the vehicle to save your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMorang_4609 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The problem with the Crash Tests are that they are controlled experiments. I think a lot of companies have become very good at doing well on the crash test, without really increasing the safety of their vehicles in uncontrolled situations. If you look at cars like Mercedes or Volvo, you have car makers who try to make their cars safe in real life situations, like loosing control at 100 mph on the Autobahn. In order to do that, you have to plan every piece of the car, everycomponent, steel strengths, etc. with safety as priority one. Unfortunately, that costs a lost of money, which not everyone can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caperinmuskoka Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 My auto insurance agent told me my 2012 Journey has the higest safety rating for there rates that affect my cost..........I switched over my 2005 Chev avalanche over to the brand new 2012 Journey R/T AWD and the rates were about$ 60.00 year cheaper...........Go figure?..........They also told me the smaller compact cars have a bad safety rating ..........Caper....

Mcgusto82 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Different things will impact the survivability of a crash. Seatbelts probably wouldn't save the front passenger, should've saved the rears. That range rover is around 1k lbs heavier, likely speeding (therefore carrying larger energy), and that was worse case scenario. The dreaded off center front impact. The farder off the center the impact is, the more intrusion there is. It's sad to see accidents like that, specially drunk driver accidents. I hope he gets the book thrown at him. Rot in jail.

zmttoxics Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 When my 5' tall fiancé walked away after writing off (air bags deployed and all) our first journey in a t-bone accident (other driver at fault) we knew we would buy another. Crazy safe car and the insurance rates reflect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
