Tough call. I wish they'd compared their respective fuel consumption. The Ford's awfully nice, but you really have to wait until we see the official US-spec.

I wouldn't take either. My Civic weighs 2800 lbs as it is and that's light enough - a 2400 lb car is downright frightening, IMO.

What's so difficult to understand? Small cars don't fair well in accidents, especially ones that weigh 2400 lbs. Do you want to get into an accident with a 6k lb SUV in a car that weighs less than half as much? I sure as hell don't. |

Seriously, though, your logic fails. Safety should not dictate the size of the vehicle you choose. Choose the vehicle that meets your needs and then choose safety within that category. As for being scary.. |

You're an engineer, right? It's simple physics. Bigger cars are usually safer than small cars. How well do you think a 2400 lb car is going to do in a collision with a much larger object? |

Also, in the case of the SUV versus a Fit, Fiesta, or Civic -- it isn't the extra weight in the SUV that is going to kill you, it's the fact that the bumpers aren't at the same height. The SUV could weigh 3000 pounds and it'll kill you just as dead when it goes over the top of your Civic or the bumper comes through your driver side window. |

you are going to choose a heaver car because of the if/when you get into an accident, the car you hit might be a suv? According to the Experian Automotive's AutoCount Vehicles in Operation database, SUV's makeup a mere 11% of the vehicles on the road today with trucks making up another 20%. While no one can predict the possibility of your next accident, we can predict that odds are on your side that if you get into an accident, it'll most likely be with another car.
