To help cut through some of the confusion, our friends at BankRate.com recently put together a list of six vehicles with top safety ratings. These are cars that all have the highest ratings on crash tests administered by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
On the list? Popular vehicles like the Honda Accord and the Subaru Outback. The other good news is all six vehicles are under $40,000. Considering one of these top safety picks? Remember to use the free RydeShopper to get the biggest discounts on these vehicles.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and Ryde Shopper are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
