Yea, German cars are usually really good with safety and road feel, at least thats what I've been told. I had a friend who was driving his vw through the woods and had to dodge a jogger and ended up flipping his car and hit a tree such that the top of his car hit the tree drivers side down and the whole car wrapped around the tree. They had to rip the side of the car open in order to medivac him to the hospital. The paramedic said he was on angel's wings and he should have died. He ended up getting 200+ stitches in his head because the left side of his face was cut off from his scalp so it was sagging down, and he has a bunch of steel rods in his arm, but if he was in some japanese car, he would definetly be dead.
