[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m inclined toward a hand me down with a known history, as compared to a regular used car or a new one. It needs to be new enough to have strong safety features and crashworthiness ratings. I personally think a lot of the “safety” technology is just distracting. Size is a double edged sword. Bigger is usually safer but smaller is easier to drive and park. I think perhaps the most important thing is that it be in good repair in terms of reliable starting and running, good brakes and good tires. It needs to be powerful enough to get out of its own way but not a rocket ship. The more boring the styling the better. [/quote] Bigger is not safer. All modern cars have crumple zones and a protective cage. Bigger cars are more likely to crash because they are a larger target and less agile, and more likely to cause more damage (liability).[/quote]
