There's some stuff in cars that really are bad. My friend Pat died of a very rare cancer in the spine that could have been caused by a chemical in the dash pad of a car (when exposed to sunlight they all emit dangerous chemical). Thanks for posting this site. I'll have to take a look.

I ride a motorcycle about 95% of the time, so I get the benefit of being exposed to everyone else's toxic cars mixed in with a little fresh air every now and then. Laughing

3.3 for my car. I guess not terrible, just not great either. Funny part is that it is the worst in it's class. LOL Oh well, but I love my car. It's fun to drive and I love it's looks.

They also rate infant and child carseats. I'll have to pass it along to my daughter before she buys hers.

My husband's truck rates at a 2.5, and the truck he's looking at getting rates at a 2.0. (We're not getting rid of the once we have.)
The SUV we have (that we are getting rid of) is not even listed. Then again all of vehicles are older models than what they are listing. My Monte Carlo is the closest as a 2003. The Ranger is a 1987. Not sure what year the Tundra will be other than it will be the older body style not the new one. Our SUV, Izusu Rodeo, not listed, is a 1992. So I'm not even sure those would be accurate to what we even have.

It only shows 2006 and 2007's. I have an '08 GMC Sierra, hubby's GTO is an '06 and his small truck is a '98, so it wasnt even listed.

1.6 for my truck model in an '07, low concern

1.9 for hubby's GTO. It said it was Best In Class.
