ANCAP 5 star safety rating
 
The BRZ has scored a five star rating. No surprise really. Shame to wreck such a nice car.

Subaru engineered the unibody, no surprises here. I'd be more surprised if it got a 4 star. Shocked to hear it got 3. But 5? That's a normal day for Subaru. :)

Good and valuable info.
Off to google to see how ANCAP differs from EuroNCAP and US NCAP.

i havnt notice any members that got the red BRZ which is weird. that would have been my second option after WRB.

Am I the only one that notice that machine that hit BRZ was wearing Legy's 17's wheels? lol

Anyways, that's awesome to hear

Three BRZs had to die so we would know what we already suspected.

Pretty sure all the cool kids don't give two spits about crash ratings.

That's why a mature mod should have picked that up. If this truly is a
forum for enthusiasts owning or interested in byuing a particular car the decision should be a no-brainer.

That's what I was thinking. Most likely took them off a car it mashed.

Reason new cars are safer even though crunch on impact

And here I'm still waiting on my Lighting Red and they have the audacity to crash one instead of sending it to me.:thumbup: to Subaru/Toyota Engineering.
