=Car Buyer's Guide=
So you want a buy a car... welcome to the world of options.
If you're looking for a car that leaves others in the dust at the red light, this guide is not for you. I don't care about showing off in a car or [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=nhzFU0Crleo|roasting tires]]. I do care about staying alive if one of those who do show off, hits my car.
I wrote the guide below for myself, while I was shopping for a new car. I hope it helps you too.
==Criteria, in order of priority==
# Safety
** "Whiplash injuries account for approximately 60 per cent of all personal injuries caused by car crashes." - [[http://www.folksam.se/english/reports|Folksam - How safe is your car, 2007]]
** 200,000 medically serious whiplash injuries per year in US - [[http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/car-safety/car-safety-reviews/rear-collisions-8-07/overview/0708_collide_ov.htm|Consumer Reports]]

==Sources for safety ratings==
* [[http://informedforlife.org/|InformedForLife.org - SCORE]]
* [[http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx|IIHS]]
* NHTSA - the star-rating [[http://www.safercar.gov/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=c276c95372935110VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCRD|brochures]], or if you're a maniac, the [[http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/database/aspx/vehdb/queryvehicle.aspx|raw reports]]. Note that NHTSA's "4-STARS is typically 3x risk vs. 5-STARS" (according to [[http://www.informedforlife.org/viewartcl.php?index=23|Informed for LIFE]]).
* [[http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adac.de%2FTests%2FCrash_Tests%2FAutomodelle%2Fdefault.asp%3FComponentID%3D87715%26SourcePageID%3D8645&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=de&tl=en|Germany's ADAC]] - mostly European cars (e.g. no Lexus). All information seems to show up in EuroNCAP as well, but without mention of model years, AND with slight differences (see EuroNCAP below). [why didn't ADAC use English so the whole world can benefit from this, literally, life-saving information?]
* [[http://www.euroncap.com/testresults.aspx|EuroNCAP]] - see ADAC above for model years. For example, EuroNCAP's [[http://www.euroncap.com/carsearch.aspx?make=ef018b8a-892c-4abb-92b0-24103a2c81be|Audi A4 2001]] represents ADAC's [[http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adac.de%2FTests%2FCrash_Tests%2FAutomodelle%2Fcrashtest_audi_a4.asp%3FComponentID%3D4645%26SourcePageID%3D8650&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=de&tl=en|Audi A4 2002-2004]], **but** note the slight difference in protection for the driver, possibly due to steering wheel placement (right vs. left side). Doesn't test for whiplash injuries.
* [[http://www.ancap.com.au/|Australian New Car Assessment Program]] - doesn't test rear impact (whiplash injury)
* [[http://www.nasva.go.jp/mamoru/english|Japan's National Agency for Automotive Safety and Victims' Aid]] - only Japanese cars; bad user interface; star ratings from 1 to 6
* [[http://www.folksam.se/english/reports|Folksam Insurance, Sweden]] - aggregates EuroNCAP and includes "the results of two independent car seat tests carried out by Folksam/National Road Administration and IIWPG (an international association in the insurance sector)"
==Sources for reliability==
* [[http://consumerreports.org/|Consumer Reports]] (CR) - subscription required
* [[http://www.jdpower.com/autos/used-cars|JDPower]]
* MSN Auto - uninformative (almost all vehicles have 5/5 ratings)
The following are the cars from InformedForLife's SCORE ranking list for 2008 that ranked 65 points or under (the safest level). Any vehicle that had a 'Marginal' or worse ratings by IIHS or EuroNCAP, in any of the front, side or rear crash tests has been removed.
