"The Chrysler PT Cruiser is unattractive and not terribly safe - it has a 3/5 star rating from Euro NCAP and 6/16 points in the frontal impact test. In 2009, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the PT Cruiser a rating of ""Good"" for frontal crashes and the lowest rating of ""Poor"" for side crashes."
Crash tests are conducted at varying speeds depending on the type of test being performed. Typically, crash tests are conducted at speeds ranging from around 30 to 40 miles per hour for frontal crash tests, and up to 70 miles per hour for side or rear crash tests. The speeds are chosen to simulate real-world crash scenarios and to assess the safety performance of vehicles.
