Own a Mazda CX-9 or Honda Pilot? IIHS Has a Horror Movie For You

Mazda CX-9

This year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety started a new crash test, the “small overlap test“. Effectively, this tests what happens when a front corner hits an obstacle, like a light pole or tree. Many, many cars have failed this test, but the videos of the Honda Pilot and Mazda CX-9 may scare you away from driving all day!

Check out the CX-9 crash test:

Scary, right? Drive safely out there, and you can see how various cars have performed in these tests at the IIHS site.
