Consumer Reports Comparisons this month

Read the article through and through. Notice the Honda has comparable
performance parameters as the others, but does it with a smaller engine and
lower fuel consumption.

It is also several hundred pounds lighter which goes a long way towards
explaining why it can do it.

Some of you equate weight with safety, yet the Probe weighs a lot more than
the Honda but flunked out on safety. A non-technical reason why weight has
little to do with safety is the fact that while heavier is stronger, a
heavier car hits harder, the two being exclusive conditions. Or put
another way, when a 6900 ton nuclear sub recently ran aground at speed, a
submariner was killed and 23 others injured from the impact and the sub
severely damaged.

 

Forget Consumer Reports.
