So you've decided to buy a car, minivan, SUV, or pickup. Now the question is, which one? If you factor safety into your choice (most people do), then you probably want to know, what's the safest vehicle to buy? Safety has numerous aspects, so there's no direct answer, although it's clear that some vehicles are safer than others. You can find safer vehicles in various price and style groups. Start by recognizing that safety involves avoiding crashes to begin with and then protecting yourself if and when a crash occurs.
