Behold the great news:

2015 Audi A3, S3 Sedans Earn NHTSA 5-Star Crash Rating

I believe one of our fellow forum members already found out how tough these A3/S3 really are.

Yeah, he's in the 10% or so that got the thing to rollover! Glad it proved its worth for him.

I have to say, I'm a little annoyed that collision avoidance features are included in the rating as it doesn't speak solely to safety IN a collision.

As an owner, I want to know what happens when I'm hit by a someone else and want to know how safe myself and passengers are when a collision happens I don't want the rating clouded by collision avoidance features (which I also resent, but that's a different thread topic altogether).

I thought the IIHS rating was made including pre sense front but the NHTSA rating IS collision and rollover tested; ie how well the occupants will fare in a collision.

Ah, good distinction… guess I should research before I whine… I'll check it out.
