[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've driven wranglers for almost 30 years and comfortably passed one down to my daughter (and will be getting one for her little sister soon). They are plenty safe if you drive them properly. If they scare you, don't drive one and don't give them to your teen. They are not terribly practical or comfortable but they can go places and do things that your Volvo can't. Plus, there is nothing better than taking the doors and top off and enjoying a warm, sunny day driving on the beach. [/quote]

OP here. It’s not that I’m worried about her driving it safely. I’m worried about somebody else driving in safely and hitting her.  And flipping the wrangler.   Or the airbag not deploying.  Or the passenger hitting the roof.  All the things the IIHS notes.  [/quote]

Any and every accident is different.  Sometimes rolling is the safest option.  A kid from my daughter's school was hit in the side with a VW. The sun basically drove over top of him and he had to be cut out of it. Major life changing issues for him. He most likely would have been better off rolling over a couple of times.[/quote]
