Even the least safe cars in the USDM are still safer than some local offerings.

Kasama din Mazda6 and Hyundai Elantra.

Hyundai Elantra - old design, not surprised, no side airbags, I suppose.

Nissan Sentra - old body. The US Sentra is still on the B15 chassis, which isn't even as stiff as the N16 we get. Both are too old though, and can't compare with cars like the new Mazda 3 or the Civic.

Kia Optima - old design, again.

Suzuki Forenza - [size=4]Chevrolet Optra[/size], rebadged for the US. And this is supposed to be a new car/platform... another reason not to get one.

Mazda6 - the oldest of the new Mazdas. Surprising results... would be interesting to know why... ???

Toyota Corolla - What???

The 2005/06 USDM Sentra is based on the recently discontinued B15 JDM Sunny.

The B-cars are usually the standard models, while the N-cars are usually the sportier, more stylish models like the Almera, Bluebird Sylphy and Pulsar.
Both parallel models use a common platform and share the same basic dimensions.

The USDM B15 Sentra is based on the B15 Sunny but has the same dashboard as the N16 ASEAN/RP Sentra...
