How safe is the car you're buying?

Before you buy, look up the car's crash-test ratings and check for open recalls. NHTSA is the federal agency that rates vehicle safety and tracks recalls. IIHS runs its own, tougher crash tests.

    These are planning estimates. Model prices start from each model's published starting price (TrueCar, November 2026), raised by an estimate for mid-level or top trims; used prices assume a 3-year-old car. Sales rankings are US sales from January to September 2026, from GoodCarBadCar. Loan rates are averages for each credit level, and insurance and repair costs are averages for each type of car. Your real numbers will vary with trim, location and driving record. Get an insurance quote and a loan pre-approval before you shop.
