The 13 Safest Cars for Your Money

Even before price, one of the more important decision factors when it comes to buying a vehicle is just how safe it is.

Forbes has recently listed what they consider the top 13 safest cars for your hard earned cash, using the moderately-priced and entry-level luxury vehicles that were "Top Safety Pick+" award winners by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The list includes the Acura TL, which earned top marks in all five crash tests condused by the IIHS, the Dodge Avenger, and both the Honda Accord Sedan and Coupe.

As always, I recommend you start with the  to get the best deal on any of these vehicles.
