In our lives today we work hard for the money that we earn whether it is mowing lawns and doing yard work as a teenager, or being adult with a full-fledged career. We put long, and many hours of our day into our work, whether we enjoy it or not, in order to make sure we have that coveted paycheck coming in as it is suppose to. While some individuals enjoy saving we now as a society are very into spending our money on items that we truly want, and work hard to deserve.
Pretty, or Problem?
One item that many individuals either save up to afford, or make monthly payments is that of a vehicle. Today, many people are turning to more expensive name brand vehicles with the money that they work hard to bring it. Although this vehicles certainly know how to make an impression, and are very luxurious are they actually protecting you from accidents, or the road itself?
How Tests Prove The Value of Your Purchase
Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released a study showing a few figures that consumers, or car buyers may need to know before writing that check for your luxury class vehicle. The study took eleven 2012 model year luxury vehicles from different companies and tested their safety. However, the study concluded that eight out of the eleven scored “poorly” within the test, which is well over half.
Yet, why is this? The study tested multiple types of crashes with different impacts and then recorded the results as they occurred. The test included different collisions such as low-impact, front, side, back, and high-impact collisions. The study concluded that the “crush zones” of these vehicles were not built sturdy enough, and broke easily with almost any blunt impact. Today, these luxury automobile companies are currently working on these “crush zones” to handle more impact than before, but you could not see, or hear about it for another 10 years due to entire body schematics having to be redone completely.
Although we tend to go for the more luxury type of vehicles make sure to check into the safety of the vehicle as well.
