On the Today show, it was reported that the PT Cruiser was rated **** (4 stars out of 5) in rollover tests.
Five stars is the best rating (least likely to roll over), so the PT faired pretty well!

Just thought I'd pass this info along.

Yeah, and *very few* vehicles (two, I think) got the five-star rating. Four stars is good.

To compare, the GMC Jimmy and Chevy Blazer only got 1 star, the Expolrer got 2 (that's what I drive now) and no SUV got more than 3.

To compare to cars, the Impala and the Taurus got 4 and the Honda Accord got 5.

I feel a little safer now.
