Be Informed
Informed For Life uses a sophisticated statistical analysis of risk factors that includes both National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ratings, as well as analysis of fatility data. They recommend driving vehicles that rank 70 or less (below average risk). Some 2007 vehicles at the safe end of the spectrum include (less points include lower risk): Hyndai Entourage (51 pts), Kia Sedona (51 pts), Honda Odyssey (57 pts), and Subaru Legacy-4dr (61 pts). At the other end of the spectrum include vehicles such as the Ford Escape Hybrid (166 pts), Subaru Outback-4dr (146 pts), and the Buick Rendezvous (161 pts).
My 2005 Honda Pilot does fairly well, at below average risk, at 83 points.
