from babelfish...


The Honda S2000 is not as pedestrian friendly for three years on the market and as youngest Hondas. Passanten are exposed to a high injury risk with a collision. Apart from it, the quirlige Honda harvests praise predominantly: The body is extremely stable, the passenger space hardly deformed and after the front impact could the door problem-free be opened. Steering wheel lock and shroudings threaten the knees of the driver. Welding seams in the floor space should be strengthened. Despite absence of Seitenairbags the protection proves with the Seitencrash as remarkably good. Largegrown drivers will get themselves however at the folded slab roof framework a dent. Keyword child security: The warning references for the assembly of a Reboard seat beside the driver are not obviously enough.

Here's the whole thing in English. With a score of 27, the S2000 did better than 80% of the cars tested.
