In this interview, our General Manager Richard goes over the criteria for the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) to make their top picks. First is cars with less horsepower are safer for newer drivers as well as perform better in wet, snowy and icy conditions. Second, size and weight are huge factors in vehicle safety and data shows that the larger cars perform better in accidents and people who drive bigger, heavier vehicles also tend to drive safer. No small vehicle made the IIHS safety list.

Third on the IIHS list is the ESC (electric stability control) feature, assisting driver in avoiding an accident! Last, and also super important, is the original top safety rating when new. We are happy that our Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was an IIHS Top Pick Plus!

Our used vehicle selection includes two of the top-ranked vehicles, the  2011 and newer Chrysler 200/Dodge Avenger. The two most affordable small sport utility vehicles/crossovers on the list are our 2011 and newer Outlander Sport and the 2014 and newer Outlander!
