Is this car as safe as MINI claims?

The design of this car really appeals to me but how safe is it? You always hear those stories about the dangers of small cars but I just want to know how dangerous it really is.

    The MINI is a VERY safe car. I say this because of a recent accident where the mini was hit from the side by a car coming out a driveway, and it spun and went straight through a brick wall. By the end of this the mini has a big dent on the outside where the other car hit it, but it did not go through to the inside. and the front of the car? well, that looked totally the same. it was not crumbled, or smashed in at the front. unfortunately the under carriage was damaged.

    the mini is a very solid car. if the mini was replaced with a holden, or a toyota, in that aaccident the front and side of the car would be smahed in all the way

    My friend i own that car since december,08. I used to don't believe that little car can be safe as told by Bmw. But about a month ago, a bus hit my car with a speed of 90km/h while i was turning my car to another way. My left air bags and the one in my seat blew off and three ppl including me, didn't even have a little injury... I'll try to post the car's photos. You cannot believe, how strong it is.
