[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Literally LOL.  If my son is very, very lucky, my '04 MDX will survive until he is ready to drive it.  Otherwise, he'll get a beater old Volvo -- cheap, safe and ugly as hell.[/quote]

When I spoke to our insurance company they told me if we bought used to not go back more than 3 years. Safety wise old cars dont have the safety features that newer cars have especially side air bags and traction control.[/quote]

Definitely agree with buying relatively new-ish, but my 2007 CRV has all those safety features.  And I didn't get a high trim level.  Even older cars at high trim levels have those things.  [/quote]

Yes but there are a few other things that your 2007 honda does not have that increase safety exponentially. A 2007 Honda CRV does not have side air bags

That's incorrect information (first link doesn't work for me)

Here's my manual online. Page 23. Front and side airbags (which cover rear passengers), side impact sensors, and roll over sensor. Back up power system in case electrical system fails in crash.

Also has antilock breaks and traction control.  It does not have a back up camera, which is one of the newer safety standards.[/quote]
