Is Zen Estilo safe on highways?

Question

I hve heard in some television reviews that Zen estilo has bad aerodynamics which causes estilo to be unstable on highways at highspeed. Also from safety point of view how much estilo has given thought on side door impacts?

Answer 1

As long as you follow rules of the road every single car is good. The most important thing to bear in mind is never overtake a vehicle in front of your vehicle unless you clearly see there is nothing coming in the opposite direction. This is the main reason for every single head on collision on Indian Highways. In a hurry most of the motorists ignore this rule and land in head on collision often with a heavy vehicle. The result you know I don't have to tell you. Till our govt make our highways divided like in other countries this situation would be there and one should follow what I said above.

Answer 2

In comparison to heavier cars, lighter cars are relatively unsafe on the highways because
1. during an impact their momentum is less and hence suffer greater damage
2. When a large vehicle passes them, they get drawn into the 'Wake' i.e.the air-void created behind a heavy vehicle with a flat rear, such as trucks
3. Their higher center of gravity makes their handling suspect at high speeds

The above is true for Estilo, WagonR and Santro. You can be sure that at Indian prices (after tax), not much protection is given for side impact, though ARAI does have some regulations for this. Amongst the small cars the Swift 'handles' the best on the highway, though in terms of safety I'd rank them as
Palio
Indica
Swift
Getz
All other smaller cars are relatively unsafe
