if we were to avoid patronizing 0 or 1 safety rating vehicles, many of us will have to walk to school or the office.

Exactly. Remember the buying profile of most cheap cars - most are first-time car buyers.
Kung galing ka sa jeep or UV Express na walang safety features, just having seatbelts is already a big step up.
And speaking of seatbelts, those safety ratings are based on the assumption that all passengers are wearing their seatbelts. Ilang % lang ba ang nagsusuot ng rear seatbelts? Passenger seatbelts nga hindi pa 100% compliant.

a 1 star difference in safety rating should never be a big deal breaker in buying a car.
its like the insurance policy you will get for that car. its good that its there when something bad happens to you and the car but sometimes you never get to use it the whole time you own the car.
Ganda ng Rush. I didn't expect it from Toyota
Yung Xpander parang pang mommy and datingin![]()
1 star could be the difference between life and death
but of course you have to look deeper. the rating system these days are heavily dependent on gadgets like stability control, automatic emergency braking, etc. so check if the xpander has been penalized simply because the test unit wasn't installed w/ all the safety features. i.e. not a bayabas-to-bayabas comparison
by the looks of it the adult and child ratings are close enough that i wouldn't choose one over the other based on the star rating alone
