Euh, no. Used to have a renault clio, which was a lot safer than a car from the 80's like, lets say, a vw beetle. Lighter too, as back then cars were mostly made of steel, while its a combination of steel, aluminium and plastic now.
Same size of car too, so size doesnt matter either.
1990 Clio 930kg vs 2020 Clio 1090kg
1985 Polo 730kg vs 2020 Polo 1181kg vs 2020 Lupo 975kg (the Lupo is actually smaller)
1980s Corolla 940kg vs 2020 Corolla 1395kg
Need me to go on?
