I buy cars that I will enjoy driving, either because they have higher performance, are visually appealing to me, or otherwise make the time spent behind the wheel worthwhile. Life is too short and we spend too much time in our cars to sentence yourself to serving time in something you don’t enjoy.

What about NHTSA? You never checked the safety rating of the car you were purchasing?

Interesting. I looked up Suburban and Yukon and they were not on this IIHS list of top safety picks.

No, but I stick with brands that have a history of being rated safe (i.e. honda, toyota, lexus)

Or will you buy just plain Top Safety Pick? Or you don’t check/don’t care?
