I was wondering on how safe is the impact on the driver/passenger side doors. Ive been doing research for about 4 hours now and I couldnt find anything besides the front crash results. If any of you know of an exact URL to take me to see the rating, or have a story from an accident or anything please tell me. Im trying to decide whether or not its as safe as it is reliable =/

Well... I've had an expierence with crashing my lude.
I took a corner to fast an wrecked the front, side and back.:(
I crashed with the drivers door into a lamppost. Pretty hard.
Now as for the safety, I didn't really feel a lot of shocks, bumps, etc.
But as I got out of the car, I saw that it was pretty banged up (totalled)
The door couldn't be opened anymore (15 cm pushed inwards)
Conclusion: I crashed pretty hard and didn't get hurt. (except for the glass that gave me a little cut here and there)
RIP my 92 SI
But due to a 'mistake' at the insurance compagny, I was able to buy
a 93 VTEC 4WS :D

Preludes are very safe. A friend of mine wrecked his 1998 SH twice. Both were hits to the driver side and he wasn't hurt in either impact.
