Audi First Company to Earn Three Double Best Picks in Crash Tests
When the Audi A3 earned high marks in crash tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety [IIHS], the carmaker became the first to have three of its vehicles earn "Double Best Picks."
IIHS has also rated the A4 and A6 as double best -- what this means is all three vehicles scored very good performances in front and side impact crash tests.
In the same round of tests, the Volkswagen Passat and Subaru Legacy also earned double best picks for front and side crash tests. The Fird Five Hundred and Mercury Montego earned a best pick for frontal crash tests, and a good rating on side impact when the cars were equipped with side airbags.
