A friend of mine is a very high paid attorney who specializes in automobile accident deaths. He's won hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients and knows everything about every possible statistic and how almost every car on the road is rated and built. We were talking about this very thing while I was down mediating a case in Austin Tx last week. He's basically "seen it all" and when I asked based on the accidents he's seen/studied what he considers a very safe car, he simply said "I've bought every one of my 4 children a Subaru Outback or Forester when they got their license"...'nuff said. Basically the Subies are built with an integral roll cage frame. If you look at them you'll notice the lack of a door frame. The window is "free". That's because in other cars, the door frame IS a part of the structure whereas the Subaru's are basically a "box" which needs no added structure on the door for strength. When you get into certain aspect accidents and the door is compromised...the entirety of the passenger compartment is greatly weakened. Not so in the Subaru's.

The key to safely drive a small car is to drive defensively. Always anticipate what could go wrong in any driving situation and be prepared. If another driver is acting erratically or aggressively, give them plenty of room. Some drivers are obviously intoxicated, adjust your position accordingly. On the highway, drive slightly faster than the slow drivers, but slower than the fast drivers, a substantial space can open up between these two groups and this space can be safer than the congested areas.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Accent. I accidentally rear ended a lady probably only 5mph but my car had no damage and not a scratch and hers had minor paint chips. So I don't think the Hyundai Accent is necessarily dangerous, I think since it's a cheap, efficient car a lot of parents buy it as their kids first car and we all know how damn hard it is for teenagers to get off their freaking phones while driving. Just my two cents.

I have a 2008 Hyundai Accent hatchback. In 2011, I was at a stop light in the left lane, an old F-150 was crossing in front of me and turning left, it was raining, he fishtailed and smushed the front left corner of the car, did considerable damage, the costs were just shy if a total. I didn't have a scratch, the front end crumpled, none of the impact transfered to the passenger compartment. As far as I'm concerned that car's design certainly saved me from injury, may well yave saved my life. Hyundais are great cars. The body shop of the Hyundai dealership in Salem, OR rebuilt my car, did a fantastic job, I still have it, am getting ready to sell only because I now have a problem with my left leg that makes it unsafe for me to drive a clutch.

Having no more steering or brakes, the car slipped 90 degrees and i ended up in the opposite way with a semi truck braking and stopping 1 inch of my door.

I'm from South Korea where this car was designed and the Hyundai Accent is my favorite compact car available here. The Accent is used for driving school tests in Korea and is loved by those who want a fuel-efficient and low-priced car. I think it's a very good car for short distances and city driving. One thing to remember before you buy this car is that the Accent is designed to fit the narrow Korean roads and small Asian bodies. Of course, if you're a driver who likes to cross Texas every day at 75 mph driving a heavy three-ton Chevy pickup or SUV, you'll definitely hate this car. The smart way to choose a car is to buy one that fits your budget and circumstances. If you don't like small cars, buy another big and nice car. The important thing is not to choose a safe car, but to be a safe driver. For example, Japanese drivers drive small vans that are much more dangerous than this car. Interestingly, they rarely get into an accident.

For some reason whenever I rent an economy class car, I'm always given a Versa. I guess as a rental I don't care, but I know what you mean by them not being all that safe or feeling all that safe, not to mention they are under powered. I mean they'll get you going on the highway but passing, especially in windy weather might be a challenge, plus I found you can get thrown around a bit if it's really windy out side. Not the same as driving a slightly heavier vehicle like a Focus or even a Chevy Cruize. I personally wouldn't buy a Versa, partially because it's a Nissan but also because they literally sound like a tin can when you close the doors, etc.

I live on a winding dirt road that I used to treat as a rally course leaving for work at 4am. My driveway itself is over 650 ft long and on a hill. It gets washed out heavily after heavy storms. I can't always fix it very quickly so it can be rough and jarring. I have only had to replace one wheel bearing and the stabilizer links during 6 years of this treatment. Like Scotty says about the Scion though, the numbers don't lie. I'm pretty sure the bigger issue is the small cars sharing the road with the people buying trucks the size of their egos and half the size of their insecurities.
