How to read these ratings

Every figure on this page is copied from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program database without reinterpretation. Three things trip people up:

Stars are comparative, not absolute. A five-star car is not "twice as safe" as a two-and-a-half-star car. NHTSA compares vehicles within size and weight classes.
Not Rated is not zero stars. It means that particular test was not performed on that particular build.
Older tests were easier. Frontal and side protocols were tightened repeatedly, so a 2005 five-star result is not the same test as a 2024 five-star result. Compare within a model year, not across decades.

Common questions

Has the 2001 Honda S2000 been crash tested?

Yes. NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program tested 1 configuration of the 2001 S2000.

What does 'Not Rated' mean?

NHTSA prints 'Not Rated' when a specific test was not run on a specific configuration. It is not a zero-star result and we never display it as one.

Why are several configurations listed?

NHTSA tests structurally different versions separately — a two-door and a four-door, or a car with and without side airbags, can earn different stars. Averaging them would invent a rating NHTSA never issued, so each is listed on its own.

Sourcing

Star ratings, equipment declarations, rollover probabilities and crash test media are retrieved from the NHTSA New Car Assessment Program API (api.nhtsa.gov/SafetyRatings) on 2026-10-27. Photographs and videos are linked at their official NHTSA addresses rather than copied. Where NHTSA publishes "Not Rated", we reproduce that string verbatim.
