However, just because I drive a car (Insight) that happens to have a fairly high crash rating, it doesn't follow that that is the crash rating I'd accept. I bought the Insight for a bunch of other reasons. As I said, I didn't even know its crash rating until long after I bought it, but I would have still bought it if it had a 1.
