Considering the exorbitant
prices of most luxury cars, it's a veritable
godsend for many cash-strapped consumers when
genius car manufacturers have invented cars
worth their sticker prices.
Thus it strips off the
word luxury, bearing the meaning that it holds
up to its name because of its price and nothing
else.
Today, prominent car
manufacturers like BMW and AUDI had been
ravishing the limelight after they received
recognition from Consumer Reports on its latest
models.
The cars were among the
safest cars on the road.
BMW 330i's general safety
features that placed it on the top of the list
are panic button alarm, side guard door beams,
and child-safety door locks.
It is also equipped with
driver airbags, a passenger air bag cutoff
switch or sensor, a passenger airbag, front side
airbag, and side head curtain airbags. The
second row side airbag is optional.
For added protection, the
BMW 330i is equipped with anti- theft prevention
features. These features are the selective
locking or unlocking feature, the locking fuel
filler door or cap, valet lockout, and the
vehicle anti-lockout device.
It is equipped with a
stability control that effectively protects the
driver from any swerving or uncontrolled motion.
Moreover, because of the
many incidences wherein sudden inflation of
airbags had caused accidents, mostly children,
BMW 330i airbags are endowed with smart
dual-thresholds, sensor, and dual-stage
deployment that curb any airbags inflation that
were uncalled for.
On the other hand, the
Audi A4 luxury car also speaks of genuine
craftsmanship.
The safety break features
enable the Audi A4 to safeguard its occupants in
the event that an accident happens or whenever
the road becomes slippery.
A dual-stage and
dual-threshold airbag supplemental restraints
with occupant sensors were also provided.
It also has a new system
of seat belts management and usability that
features a safer way of employing seat belts
while on the road.
Plus, it has
child-friendly safety features like LATCH or the
lower anchorage and tethers for children system
situated at the rear seats, and child safety
rear door locks.
With all these safety
features, no wonder they were among the safest
cars on the road. This is not just mere
recognition for most buyers but also a way of
saving more money when getting insurance.
It is because most auto
insurance companies charge lower premium rates
to drivers who drive safe cars. There are also
auto insurance companies that offer additional
anti-theft or vehicle tracking discounts.
Moreover, cars, like the
ones mentioned, who performed well on car crash
tests will keep you safe in an accident and as a
side benefit most likely get you lower auto
insurance premiums.
