Is your car safe? Every year, some automobile manufacturers enhance the safety of their vehicles whereas others produce cost-conscious vehicles that are not nearly as safe. Each year manufacturers also have to recall cars that were created with an error and can facilitate accidents of some kind. Insurance providers evaluate the safety of a car when providing a rate, and often raise the insurance costs for a car that is hazardous in some way. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has ranked cars as either safe or dangerous and has put them on a helpful scale.

One of the most dangerous vehicles on the road is the Mitsubishi Lancer. This is a car that has had horrible rates on all crash tests. The car is also a four-wheel drive, and passengers and drivers have a high possibility to suffer a head injury in the event of a collision. The car is popular with young buyer's because of its economical price, which makes it even more dangerous as young drivers are often more reckless.

Another dangerous vehicle that is still on the market is the Cadillac Escalade EXT. This vehicle is a modification of the Cadillac Escalade ESV, but has its rear cargo area removed for a smaller feel. The reason that these vehicles facilitate so many accidents is partially because they are equipped with a bed which can carry heavy cargo. When the vehicle is overloaded, it can cause significant damage to other cars. Most often, individuals who drive these vehicles are injured in the collisions. They do not file claims for property damage as frequently.

In addition to this, a Toyota Scion is considered a dangerous vehicle. This small car ranks as one of the worst vehicles across the board because of its tendency to crumble when involved in a collision. Specifically, the Scion tC has poor durability in the event of a crash, and this can facilitate serious injuries.

Despite the fact that it's considered a luxury car, the Mercedes S Class is considered a dangerous vehicle. This four-door Mercedes has exceptionally bad marks in comprehensive insurance. This is partially because it does poorly in the event of a collision. Another dangerous Mercedes model is the Mercedes CLS Class, which tends to have a good safety record but can be extremely damaging in a crash. These cars can cause serious rear-damage if they are involved in a rear-end crash.

The Dodge Charger is also listed as a dangerous car, through insurance companies speculate that the crowd that is drawn to the charger may have something to do with the numerous accidents that occur as a result of this vehicle.

Both 2-door and 4-door Chevy Cobalt cars also have high danger ratings and can facilitate serious injuries. The Pontiac G5, a vehicle that is related to the Cobalt, is one of the worst offender cars for personal injury, medical payments, and bodily injury liability in the two-door compact segment. Some of the premium features that come in larger cars do not come standard and the overall demographic driving these cars contribute to their danger.

Also, the Kia Spectra is considered a dangerous vehicle because of its poor side crash tests and front impact ratings. It is ranked highly for injuries and other medical problems for the drivers of the cars when they are involved in a car accident. The Spectra is cheaply made and commonly used by inexperienced drivers.
