MY original contention was that sitting in the distant end of the car, made worse by rear facing seats, was that escape was unlikely when the rear is crushed inwards. The mention of the crushed Ford van fire illustrated the likely body damage in case of a crash with any speed involved.
His diesel VS gas argument was a later attempt to claim that no fire was likely. I disagreed. Whenever I have been confronted with a hotel airport shuttle van, I never sit in the last row.
