Top Safe Cars for Teens

As parents I think we can all agree that our children's safety is foremost on our mind.  What parent doesn't get a bit nervous at the thought of our teenagers starting to drive.  In a recent article from the Wall Street Journal they ranked  the top vehicles based on safety crash-test data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as well as reliability scores from Consumer Reports.  They recommend staying away from sporty vehicles as it may tempt young (as well as older) drivers to drive too fast.  They have also recommended to stay away from large SUVs as well as pickups because they tend to be easier to roll, and to avoid subcompacts as there's just  not enough metal between the driver and whatever obstacle they may hit.  Of the safe choices Honda leads the way.  The Honda Pilot scored top marks followed by the Honda CR-V in second place and the Honda Accord tied for third.
