Top Vehicles for College Graduates<\/strong><\/p>\n

August 24th, 2016\u00a0— Martinson Agency LLC — Chaska, MN<\/strong><\/p>\n

While younger drivers might be most interested in a vehicle that conveys a sense of the style or sportiness they ascribe to, safety should really be the primary consideration for those who are just exiting college. This is due to the high rate of accidents among youthful drivers.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a government entity focused on population health management and safety, found younger drivers between 19 and 24 years old cause 28-30 percent of the damages<\/a>\u00a0related to motor vehicle accidents in America. This is despite the fact that they represent only\u00a014 percent of the population.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, let’s take a look at some of the safest vehicles available on the market today:<\/p>\n

Subcompact<\/strong> The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety – a group devoted to roadway safety – ranked the 2016 Scion iA<\/a> as the safest subcompact car in its 2016 Top Safety Pick rankings. This car is also highly fuel efficient and easy to maintain.<\/p>\n

Small Sedan<\/strong> The 2016 Honda Civic 4-door was recognized by the IIHS\u00a0as an exceptionally safe automobile. This is also a long-lasting, affordable vehicle, making it a great\u00a0choice for younger drivers who look\u00a0to get as much value as possible for their dollar.<\/p>\n

Midsized Sedan<\/strong> The 2017 Ford Fusion is another affordable vehicle granted\u00a0the highest possible safety rating from IIHS in this year’s awards.<\/p>\n

Full-Sized Sedan<\/strong> The 2016 Toyota Avalon stood alone in the full-sized sedan category of IIHS’ power rankings for safety this year.<\/p>\n

Small SUV<\/strong> If you’re on the adventurous side and need a car that will take you into the mountains, the 2016 Subaru Forrester earned a Top Safety Plus rating from the IIHS this year\u00a0and is a highly affordable option available to younger drivers.<\/p>\n
