Another note about Crash ratings: To be honest, I did not know what my Cobalt XFE's Crash rating was before I decided to buy it. HOWEVER- I did take comfort in knowing how many air-bags were in the car, especially the side / curtain mount car bags, which a YouTube video of an Insurance Company test of simulated large SUVs crashing against small cars showed side/curtain airbags made a BIG difference in harm reduction, so I partially based my choose based on the air-bags.

Now that I think about it, I did glance at how many stars the car got for a crash rating and if it was much lower I would of likely changed my mind at the last moment and backed out of the deal. After all, I just had a major wreck in a pickup truck last July and safety was in my mind, as well as MPG.
