This puts it on par with competitors such as the Peugeot 206 or the Opel Corsa C. An equally significant result was achieved by the small car in child protection, which was evaluated with 37 points and four out of five stars.
Far worse it looks, however, in the pedestrian protection, which leaves you with five points and one of four stars clearly room for improvement. The test was carried out in 2004. However, since in the course of facelifts neither the body structure are other safety-related parts have been changed in the fall of 2005, this result can also be applied to this model.
