Here is a list of safety features that you want to ensure that your new car has.

1. Anti lock Braking System (ABS) - Antilock Braking Systems eliminate the need to "pump the brakes" when you have to stop quickly, preventing you from locking the wheels and skidding.

2. Airbag Shut-Off Switch - Because the force of airbag deployment has the potential to injure a child or small-stature adult, many vehicles now come equipped with an airbag shut-off switch.

3. Airbags - Passenger and driver-side dual airbags are now required in all vehicles sold in the United States.

4 Back Up Sensing System - Remember when your parents backed over your bike in the driveway? This system prevents just such occurrences. A proximity sensor in the rear portion of the vehicle senses when the vehicle gets too close to an object and warns the driver.

5. Child Safety Seat Tethers - Now referred to as the LATCH "Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children" system, the new safety seat tethers make it easier for parents to know they have installed a child safety seat correctly.

These are just 5 of the many things needed to ensure a safe vehicle.

Well the first thing to consider is how reliable a car is. What's safe about a car if it won't start at 0300 while your visiting the hood? How many airbags, what does the NTSB say about the car, stopping distance (60-0), & etc.... Many of these facts can be found on web sites like Edmunds.com
