The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 small cars subjected to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s small overlap front crash test.
Two electric models and a hybrid are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine “range extender”) earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating. The Ford C-Max Hybrid, a small four-door wagon, earns an acceptable rating. Another small four-door wagon, the gasoline-powered Mazda 5, is rated poor.

http://www.osv.ltd.uk/kia.php Let’s face it, drivers looking for car lease deals on superminis aren’t exactly faced with a lack of choice. It pays to consider all your options, and the Kia Rio certainly deserves to be up there on your list along with the likes of the Ford Fiesta. It’s rather stylish, deceptively spacious and continues to impress as one of the greenest and most economical to run cars in its class..See More http://www.osv.ltd.uk/kia.php
