subject: Safest Cars in Auto Accidents [print this page] When you are driving on the open road with your friends and family members, you want to know that you have a vehicle that is safe enough to protect everyone in the vehicle in the event of an automotive collision. While nearly all of the vehicles that are on the road today are required to have some basic safety features included in their design, some automobiles are clearly much safer than others. In order to minimize the chances of anyone in your vehicle being seriously injured due to improper driving of another driver, you might consider making an investment in one of the three safest vehicles that are available to today's drivers: the Volvo C30, the Mini Cooper and the Volkswagen Rabbit.
Volvos have gained a hard-earned reputation for being one of the safest vehicles on the road for generations, and the new Volvo C30 is no exception. The Volvo C30 has a laminated, shatter-proof windshield, padded dashboards and top-notch seat belts. The vehicle is also ranked very highly for safety during front and side impacts.
While the Mini Cooper has become terrifically popular amongst certain demographics due to its unusual design, relatively few people are aware of the fact that this vehicle is also consider by safety experts to be one of the safest cars that are available for less than $20,000. The European vehicle safety regulatory committee known as the NCAP has given the Mini Cooper a five star rating for passenger protection.
The new Volkswagen Rabbit is another low priced car that is both very cool looking and surprisingly safe. The United States NHTSA has given the Volkswagen Rabbit a rating of four stars for front and side impacts, and the vehicle is also well known for having excellent brakes and handling that make it easier to avoid accidents.
