Default There have been quite a few that have been totaled. One guy drove his off a cliff a few weeks ago...

He lived, and apparently everyone told him he was lucky to be alive. The was a guy a few months ago who rolled his on an on-ramp. Both basically walked away. German cars are known for how safe they are. Audi is no exception. I'm not sure if there are crash test ratings on the S (its a rare car), but I guarantee it's safer than the average american car. (which isn't saying alot.)

NHTSA info on an '87 A4. I would think they are structurally similar to the S.<ul><li><a href="http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/testing/ncap/cars/47.html">http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/testing/ncap/cars/47.html</a</li></ul>

Default remember that the tests on the '97 A4...

were in models without side airbags or side
window head curtains. The car is even more crashworthy than before.

Default German cars are great. My moms manager drove her brand new in '89(m)

536i BMW. He swerved to miss a deer and rolled it down a hill. He and the other guy walked away. Car was totalled severely. Damn deer. Those are terrible mods for your car. The front end mod.

Default Both Consumer reports and the MSN site rate the Passat as one of the safest cars of all time.

I'd imagine we share the same level of safety.
