Ford Fiesta shatters small car safety myth

Ford of Ocala, a leading Ocala, Florida Ford dealer, is aware that small cars often face the criticism that their efficiency is at the cost of safety. Nonetheless, the latest crash simulation and testing technology has ensured that the truth is out. The 2011 Ford Fiesta has received a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), shattering the misconception that small cars can't be safe.

The Fiesta is the first mini car to get the superlative ranking since IIHS introduced new roof crush requirements to its rating system. Advanced computer simulation has allowed engineers to study the effect of an impact on resilient steels and conventional steels and decide on a structure that provides maximum safety to passengers. The aim has been to keep the passenger cabin intact so that doors can open even after the collision.

Fiesta features the most standard airbags in the mini-car segment and standard stability control, which is a requirement for any Top Safety Pick vehicle. Ford has earned the maximum number of Top Safety Picks among leading automakers. Fiesta is an exception to the concept that says making a car safe involves adding heavier body parts and making bigger models. Fiesta is a small car that combines safety with good design and a smooth drive.
