Safest Small Cars for 2012
Downsizing doesn't have to mean disaster when choosing a smaller car. So says the compact testing team at the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). With their stringent testing that includes rollovers and front-end collisions involving test dummies, they don’t squander their allotment of high ratings. What they did find that in 2012, there were simply more small cars that were safer, thanks to improved technologies and manufacturing practices. If you’re in the market for a smaller vehicle, you’ll have plenty of options.
