[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever you pick make sure it has up to date safety features.  When my daughter was learning to drive she whipped a hard right turn once that kicked in the stability control.  She hit the curb and blew out a tire, but would almost certainly have rolled the vehicle without the stability control.[/quote]

Honda CRV BTW; great vehicle.[/quote]

Stability control has been around since about 2004.[/quote]

And yet my 2013 vehicle doesn’t have it.  [/quote]

You may not understand stability control. I think it is required now. I remember consumer reports had an article years ago saying people needed to get rid of their older cars that didn’t have it. As op said it became standard around 2004.[/quote]

ESC was mandated in late 2014 on all new vehicles. It’s entirely possible a 2013 didn’t have it. It may have been an available option back in 2004 but it was only available on high end vehicles and/or top trim levels. I had to go out of my way in 2007 to find a minivan with it.

Take a look at the IIHS top safety ratings. For 2023, both the CRV and the Tucson are rated top safety pick +. The RAV is top safety pick, so a little lower.

You want all the active safety features - automatic emergency braking (with pedestrian), lane keeping, blind spot detection, etc. [/quote]
