German Autobild made a crashtest with the Logan und compared the results with a 5-year old Golf IV(with same price). The conclusion is that the Logan has conderably worse results.
Especially the seatbelts are criticized for being not modern enough, but also for example the footpedals and the doorlock show clear shortcommings.

Autobild also compared the cars for other things, again Golf the clear winner.

Especially Logan's brakes are criticized for lacking power and the car is very noisy at higher speeds.
Some personal comments:
- Renault never promised more than 3 Eurocap-stars, still unclear to me is whether and how much the Logan underscores this.
- In general Autobild is VW's patriotic big friend. Some comments are really just for laughing (or crying), for example about room for legs in Golf's back, yeah right it's comfortable there......
- Autobild tested a Romanian Logan, the West-European version has modifications anyway
- Nevertheless Renault should be prepared to learn from enemies, it seems that Renault saved a bit too much on some items (brakes, belts),if really so, don't hesitate to correct!
