Consumer Reports Comparisons this month

[Nomen Nescio]

Read the article through and through. Notice the Honda has comparable performance parameters as the others, but does it with a smaller engine and lower fuel consumption.

It is also several hundred pounds lighter which goes a long way towards explaining why it can do it.

Some of you equate weight with safety, yet the Probe weighs a lot more than the Honda but flunked out on safety. A non-technical reason why weight has little to do with safety is the fact that while heavier is stronger, a heavier car hits harder, the two being exclusive conditions. Or put another way, when a 6900 ton nuclear sub recently ran aground at speed, a submariner was killed and 23 others injured from the impact and the sub severely damaged.
