For most second-hand car buyers, safety is the first element they consider: can your car protect you well when inevitable collisions occur? But second-hand car ads on the market tell you more, this car can be very good to prevent collision accidents. And the emphasis on "strong brakes, excellent grip" is not just a buyer's focus, but more important today is driving aids, such as automatic emergency brakes (AEB).
Automatic emergency brake (AEB) has pedestrian safety system, reverse rear crossing object warning and blind spot monitoring function. While these technologies are not yet fully available, in the current used-car market, some basic AEB have been installed on the car, such as the 2016 Mazda6, which sells for $20,000. A five-star safety rating for the Australian New Car Assessment Program. Mazda6 safety performance will be further improved in the near future, equipped with a full set of driving aids technology, so the price of 2018 and 2019 models will be increased. The fact that Mazda's safety performance technology has become a sign of it, you can enjoy a reliable, fully functional and very safe Mazda used car for about $20,000, do not need to spend a lot of money to buy a car Volvo. In fact, many of the cars rated as four stars in the impact is also good, the only difference between the five-star level and the only one is the lack of the driving aids we mentioned earlier (driver-assist technology).
Safety comes first for family cars, so it's best to choose the highest price in your budget. European cars can be your first choice, nearly five years of BMW or Mercedes-Benz have met extremely high safety standards, with good anti-collision performance. renault (Renaults) has been performing well in ANCAP assessment in other european cars. Certainly, volvo (Volvos) also has excellent reputation for crash safety performance.
ANCAP can be a standard for choosing a second-hand car, and you can pick your seat in a five-star vehicle that ANCAP assess for safety performance, eliminating a lot of cumbersome processes and entanglements. Of course, it is impossible to rely solely on driving aids to save lives when serious accidents that are truly unexpected occur. But the smartest choice to buy a car is to make a decision against the safety of the vehicle. Here are a few tips: for example, copy a description of the security performance of an ad on a used-car website, paste it down in a form, and eliminate the security-independent performance. Which car has the longest list is the most likely vehicle to buy. Don't forget that safety is n' t just about airbags and stability controls, lights, cruise control systems, automatic emergency brakes, climate monitoring systems and so on.
You will often hear the saying that high-performance cars are unsafe. Actually, a lot of accidents are just because the driver's control is out of order. Many big-horsepower cars are likely to be better equipped with safety, such as V8 cars as safe as V6, and V8 cars have better ground control capabilities. And high-performance performance will make you more vulnerable when overtaking. Overall, high-powered, high-performance cars will be safer because of higher prices and better equipment. Certainly, safe driving has a lot of relationship with drivers.
