When do I give up? 850 1995

haha you might be surprised by the Fiesta's crash test results. Also remember you're dealing with a car that's ~15 years newer than your 850... I would be impressed if a brand new 95 850 was actually safer in a crash than a brand new 2010 Fiesta, let alone one that is actually 15 years old (with all the corrosion and weakening that comes along with that)

Larger cars don't guarantee safety by any means.

Look at the test linked above between a '09 Malibu vs. '59 Bel Air... pretty scary stuff.
