NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Few small, fuel-efficient cars performed even marginally well in a recent round of side-impact crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The organization gave an acceptable rating to only two: Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Cobalt.

If I get hit... two things:
1)If I live, i can sue!
2)If I die, no more work/taxes/bills

I am a fatalist. If it's my time, it's my time. No amount of side impact this or airbag that is going to save my hide.

Nice to know that the car will hold together ok though.
