I liked the videos of the tests!! I got mine with side airbags, just hope that I'll never need them.

I was actually happy when I saw the test on the front end, the cars that scare me are the ones that the front tires go way back during that test. Some of them go so far back that stuff goes into the cabin and will break your legs, I thought the Mustang took it pretty well.

The frontal crash tests are done at 35 MPH.
