So what would you say is the safest car? Looking to buy a new car just want to sell my small lotus the car is to small i'm scared to risk my life with it. Heres what it looks like it's very very low to the ground it didn't cost me that much got it for 30k, has a good re-sale value. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lotus-Elise-2006-Lotus-Elise-Laser-Blue-No-Reserve_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ116481QQihZ012QQitemZ220087175855QQrdZ1

A volvo or the newer renaults other than the clio.

They generally get 5 star safety ratings.

Edit: Your car looks nice :)

well that smashing might just save your life.  I'd say in almost every crash it's not the car crushing in on you that kills you but  the secondary impact of the crash (the one where your body crashes), with cars that tend to smash they lessen that secondary impact and tend to save more lives.
