Was really surprised to see the new crash results. Since they only crash test the driver's side, they only reinforced the driver side to get good results. Passenger side in some models ended up with poor test results! As a recent Hyundai owner, surprised to see that they didn't cut corners here... unlike their MPG scandal.
However, I'm surprised to see Toyota really don't care about Japanese customers in their own country I guess. Our passenger side is their driver side!!! I can understand you can't have completely symmetrical structures, but with this much discrepancy between the 2 sides?
Currently my wife and kid both sit in the back, maybe it's better to keep it that way until regulators force all of these companies to stop cutting corners...
2016 Hyundai Tucson: Good, good
2015 Buick Encore: Good, acceptable
2015 Honda CR-V: Good, acceptable
2015 Mazda CX-5: Good, acceptable
2014 Nissan Rogue: Good, marginal
2014 Subaru Forester: Good, marginal
2015 Toyota RAV4: Good, poor
