[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a smaller Subaru Crosstrek. I think the Mazda might be a good option but I would look at its quality and safety record for the specific model and year. I think you need to understand that how cars look after a serious accident does not tell you if they are well-engineered. The front of the car has the crumple zone. How it looks when crumpled can vary from car to car. It has to differ because vehicles have all different weights, proportions, and engine sizes (plus EVs have less in the front due to being battery driven). The crash-testing, not how much crumple you visually see, is what determines if the car is good in a crash. This also applies to how solid a car feels. The heavy steel cars of the past were not safer than today's lightweighted cars. I would not do VW or Ford recent models. I would carefully research repair issues for these before buying. Toyota hybrid might be worth looking at.[/quote]
