You really can't tell if a vehicle is safe just by looking at it. Remember when the Maruti 800 was launched, people used to call it a toy car. Comments like it would crumble in a heavy wind and other similar things were said about it. Premier Padmini drivers would say that the Maruti is an unsafe car.
However, the fact is that although the M800 is small, it is still far safer than a Padmini. Yes, it crumples up easier, but then thats what it is designed to do. Thats what absorbs the impact instead of passing it onto the passengers inside.
Seeing 3-4 accidents of one particular vehicle and then questioning its safety is not the most educated statement to make. NO car in the world can protect its occupants from everything.
