Had I been in a miata, I would have been crushed.

How do you know that ?

In European tests the Miata (MX5) and Jeep performed very similarly:

Jeep:

Test Scores: Front 9(56%) Side 15(83%) Overall 24(71)% Pedestrian 3(8%)

MX5:

Test Scores: Front 11(69%) Side 14(78%) Overall 25(74)% Pedestrian 7(19%)

(higher scores are better)
