Subject: [MBZ] auto safety information sources?
Anyone have any good suggestions on researching auto safety records?
I have been looking online but it seems to be more difficult than it
ought to be. I keep coming up with information on new vehicles but
little on used ones.
The powers that be want me to believe that a tiny new car is safer than
a larger old car because it has some new fangled electronic doodads that
might prevent me from wandering into an oncoming lane etc.
I am really more interested in something that will provide superior
protection if some texting driver happens to run into me when I do not
have time or space to dodge out of the way.
I know you folks think that the older MB's are wonderful cars when it
comes to safety but I am curious as to how they and others compare.
For example, I always thought that the Ford Crown Victoria should be
reasonably safe as it is a larger car etc but apparently the fuel tank
is in a bad spot and serious rear end collisions are bad news with them.
I assume it would be similar for the Lincolns which were built on the
same chassis.
I have no interest in buying a new car but I am interested in finding a
larger used car. I have been driving the Honda Civic that I acquired
from my mother and it is a nice little car but a bit too little for my
tastes. It gets good fuel mileage but I do not want to be in it if it
gets hit by something bigger.
