Top Safety Pick for Moderately Priced Passenger Cars: Honda Accord
Priced at between $15,900 to $28,500 MSRP, the Accord is one of the most popular sedans on the road. A recent upgrade to the model included a bevy of standard and optional safety equipment, as well as good crash test ratings from the IIHS and NHTSA. One drawback is that not all Accords are available with side curtain airbags. Features include front airbags that deploy at various stages, depending on how severe the crash and whether passengers are buckled in.
