"Pole test (Side impact to a pole - Indicating a car has slid from the roadway) at 29km/h"

This speed should be at least doubled I reckon, even 50k's would be better.

I completely agree mate.. I don't know where they got 29km/h from but that to me isn't even indicative of a car losing control on a 60km/h bend in the wet. Allowing for decel due to angle you're right 50km/h would be better.

Not to bag out ANCAP as the tests are in line with what are performed world wide. Understanding the speeds of the tests make you realise that the 5 star safety rating is a bit of a marketing scam..
