Crashing in a vehicle is a bit of a worry, and something that you have to deal with if you own your own car. But if we cannot escape accidents then what are the best cars to have them in?
The Daily Telegraph has run with this idea and carried out tests on the popular cars on the market; the ones that people love and the up and coming vehicles; and they are as follows:
Executive = BMW 5 Series
Small family = Alfa Romeo Guilietta
Small off road 4x4 = Kia Sportage
Small MPV = Toyota verso
Supermini = Honda CR-Z
The BMW 5 series is popular as it has been in production since the seventies, with its safety features being updated over the years. In 2008 the five millionth car in this range was produced.
The Alfa Romeo Guilietta is manufactured by the Italian company and has proved to be a firm favourite in car circles over the years. The car was restyled in the late nineteen fifties, and is known for safety.
The Kia Sportage is a compact SUV made by the Korean producers. The first generation of the vehicle was released in the early nineties, but it has been adapted over the years and now wins in the small off road four by four category for safety on the roads.
The Toyota verso is a five seater with additional fold down seats in the boot. It is the safest small MPV on the market, and is recently new, only being unveiled in 2009. It's only available in Europe and South Africa but has been very popular and awarded for its safety features.
The Honda CR-Z is a compact hybrid that is sold as a sport hybrid coupe'. It is one of the least polluting cars available in the United States, and although it is slightly less easy to come by here, it is still a great buy if you are looking for something safe to get you to work in the morning.
If you are choosing to drive any of these vehicles on the roads in the UK then you will need validCar Insurance which is readily available online.
