Ouch! We were smashed into in Emma's old MK3 at 50mph head on. Both of us walked away with minor injuries.

Didn't Top Gear deliberately crash a Clio III to demonstrate the safety?

Dafuq?! :001_huh:

i reckon he was aiming for the cone :001_rolleyes:

 

[Willis]

Looking at it sensibly (strange for me), it seems like he's hit the lampost side on.

I'd say he's then span up and around the lampost from left-to-right on the photo, and only stopped because the railing killed the momentum...

 

[Foxspeed]

its on a down hill section of 40mph - the bus lane ends just before the impact and the normal traffic switch lanes - its a left/right

under normal circumstances it isnt an issue...

 

[930Tech]

Not saying this is the cause but why is there a steel wheel on the back/alloy on the front?

Some people can't afford to run these cars and scrimping on tyres is a big no no.

Or fitting the original spare thats like 10 years old, recipe for disaster.

10 out of 10 for effort though.

poor tree!

I've crashed a clio mk2 just like this one into a wall when I was 18 and surprisingly - only the chasey bent and the drivers front end was heavily smashed. other than that it was fine. it drove away. it was even sold. No air Bags deployed and at 45mph, my friends and I escaped in harmed just a little neck ache. That crash taught me a lesson! But the clios can take a beating, or so it appears!

Scarey though!!!

You know it's not an RS Clio?

We know its not a sport, but renault in general do appear to build safe cars (crash resistant to some degree).

I know a person who rolled his 4-5 times in the Yorkshire dales, mk2 ph1 non sport, and survived - bruises at most.
