The four stars given to the Mondeo does not reflect the comments about the strength of its bodyshell.........the new Vectra is apparantly a much stronger construction.

latest NCAP safety results - Simon Templar

I noted that the current C class got its 5th star for "seatbelt warning" thats a bit rich!Surely theres more to it than that?
Front & rear points were very good though.
