Very random question but does the S4 score identically to the A4 in crash tests? I assume so because it uses the same frame. I recently got into a bad accident am considering the S4. As a result, safety has become a big thing for me. The A4 scored poorly in the small overlap frontal collision. (https://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/ve...oor-sedan/2016)

Thanks for the post DrGP, and I am happy to hear your daughter escaped the accident without extremely serious injuries. Sounds like a pretty serious accident.

Does anyone have any anecdotes regarding frontal crashes?
