American Institute of Road Safety (IIHS) conducted a series of tests of compact cars to find out the cost of their repair in case of mild accident ...
The subjects of cars struck on the non-deformable barrier around every corner at a speed of 5 km / h, as well as front and rear bumper at a speed of 10 km / h. The test results were very disappointing for owners of compact cars. Despite the very low speed, the cars get very serious and costly damage. It is connected primarily with the fact that in a very confined space, put together a large number of elements.
The most expensive repairs proved Volkswagen Golf (pictured) - the complete elimination of damage worth U.S. $ 9510. The cheapest was Ford Focus - repair it with the same injury in 3031 cost a dollar. Slightly more expensive was the youngest model Toyota - Scion, its repair and nearly reached up to $ 4000.
Wonder brought results Hyundai Elantra. At cost (in dollars) below $ 14,000, its repair cost only $ 600 dollars cheaper than Volkswagem Golf, that is a little cheaper than $ 9000. At that time, as the more expensive Mazda 3 was renovated less than $ 5000. That is, it is clear that the cost of the vehicle completely is not an indicator of the cost of repairs.
