Mini Cooper 40 mph small overlap IIHS crash test
Overall evaluation: Good

...and "Good" is the highest ranking that IIHS gives. Here's the ranking with competitors. Only the Cooper and Scion iA got "Good" across the board.

I love watching the parts fly off when the cars hit the wall. Pretty cool in slow motion.

Look at the difference.

At about 1:45 in this 2009 video they do a similar offset crash test. The video shows the car just crumple. The Gen 3 car glances to side after the impact. Maybe the Gen 3 car is made a little stronger in the foot wells.

0:28 to 0:36 - the flying chrome headlight trim. So perfectly positioned it almost looks like some CGI work
