2.3.3) Is the RAV4 safe?

Crash testing of vehicles is done by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Agency (NHTSA) <http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/>.
The following was summarized from their web site information; go
there for complete details.

The RAV4's crash test performance was about average. Cars are tested
against other cars in their size and weight class. The RAV4 rated
3 Stars (out of 5), indicating a 21 to 35 percent chance of serious
injury in a head-on 35 MPH crash with a similar vehicle. These
overall results combine the head and chest injury measurements,
and the same rating was given to both the driver and front-seat
passenger.
