Netizens were immediately stunned by the fact that the Perodua Viva looked completely crushed, whereas the damage sustained by the Bentley was minimal. This is stirring up a debate on the sturdiness of not only Malaysian cars, but cars that are generally made economically, given that Malaysians as a whole are quite attached to our cheap but reliable cars.

Some even expressed their horror for whoever could have or might have been sitting in the back of the Viva, while others highlighted that hatchback cars generally have softer rear framing.
Either way, it does make you think twice about safety when it comes to purchasing an economical car. Not everyone can afford a Bentley, though.
Well, I guess I’m taking the train.
