In a car with better safety you probably would have sustained fewer or less severe injuries. There's also a heavy dose of survivorship bias in your story.

    Sure, if I had a €60k car, I probably would have sustained less injuries, but I had a 15k city car because that's what I could afford. And because this kind of car wasn't probably designed to withstand a semi-trailer impact at 80-90kph. Yet it did, I've seen people in similar city cars and even bigger ones get wrecked way worse than me with just another car.
