The most dangerous car is the one being driven by the people leaving the bar at 2 AM.
AMEN!
Don't know where you live but in my neck of the woods, nobody's goes to bars anymore, teenagers, young adults are going to each others houses and they have a meal wine I don't see many people goin to bars theses days... I don't think that's the problem anyway, if a guy wants to drink and drive after, he'll do it anyway bar or not.

s3xyScorp yes Scotty is biased among Toyota’s
True statement, but that's not the topic of this video
Very true , Nevada drivers seem to be the worse , no courtesy , of thank you when you let someone move in the lane on the HY, or they see you backing up & won't let you out , as what's the big rush 7 cars ahead stopped at a damn stop sign .. next to a neighboring state, usually just go into NV, sense I'm only 9 miles from the Border.
@America TheBeautiful true that , as most drive cars, that will connect to the Bluetooth, and they're on the phone talking , to dumb to set up probably 😅
@@mohammedbedewy9102 so, we the people can conversate off topic , what's your problem bro ? 😜
A friend of mine is a very high paid attorney who specializes in automobile accident deaths. He's won hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients and knows everything about every possible statistic and how almost every car on the road is rated and built. We were talking about this very thing while I was down mediating a case in Austin Tx last week. He's basically "seen it all" and when I asked based on the accidents he's seen/studied what he considers a very safe car, he simply said "I've bought every one of my 4 children a Subaru Outback or Forester when they got their license"...'nuff said.
Basically the Subies are built with an integral roll cage frame. If you look at them you'll notice the lack of a door frame. The window is "free". That's because in other cars, the door frame IS a part of the structure whereas the Subaru's are basically a "box" which needs no added structure on the door for strength. When you get into certain aspect accidents and the door is compromised...the entirety of the passenger compartment is greatly weakened. Not so in the Subaru's.
I owned a Hyundai Accent 2014 hatchback which I traded it in 2018 for a Forester. The differences are like day and night as far as build quality and safety. So you're right.
bought each of his kids a Subaru Outback ! wow My choice of car but after saving for yrs the price went way out of my league.
I do agree I rolled my just and walked away like It was nothing..
I have a 2008 Hyundai, only thing that had to be changed was oil and the spark plugs. It shows 200000 km, but I think it is more like 300000 in reality. I would recommend Hyundais.
hahahahahahahaha
That has nothing to do with it not being safe......
I feel like that the Scion TC was on the list because it was a car for teenagers. Teenagers crash cars as often as it rains
Well, yes. Souped up teenager cars get crashed all the time. That's why the Honda Civic is wrecked the most out of any car. They're cheap and easy to rice out. However, I'm a teenager who's an actual car enthusiast and I work on old American cars. I've never been in an accident, never gotten a ticket, never had any problems with driving and I drive 15k per year on some of the iciest road conditions in existence, especially this last winter. Are all teenagers bad drivers? No, not all. Only some.
i’m a teen and i drive an SUV following all traffic laws
@@nathanjones9586 you may be a fantastic driver. But its all statistics. Teenagers have less experience, and therefore have more crashes.
@@nathanjones9586 shut up Nathan
@@patrickptmonk8673 very true. Insurance wants to know which drivers are higher risk. :P
My neighbor’s Chevy Aveo is one of the safest cars I’ve ever seen. Been sinking into his yard the last 5 years I’ve been his neighbor
Is that it under the old swing set with the motor hanging by a come along?
Ah yes the Chevy aveo, the culmination of everything that was wrong with GM at the time
Chevy is gm trash
i drove my aveo for 12 years..and got $1500 on the trade in.for a car that i paid $9095 for brand new ,well i think it was a great deal!
@MerksPintSizedPenis i live in a small town..i liked it so much i now have a chevy spark i bought the spark when it was three years old..for $7300!it sold brand new for$13,000..almost half off!
I love watching you ring that bell. Cracks me up every time. I don't know why
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
The key to safely drive a small car is to drive defensively. Always anticipate what could go wrong in any driving situation and be prepared. If another driver is acting erratically or aggressively, give them plenty of room. Some drivers are obviously intoxicated, adjust your position accordingly. On the highway, drive slightly faster than the slow drivers, but slower than the fast drivers, a substantial space can open up between these two groups and this space can be safer than the congested areas.
Exactly on that fast/slow/space things. Let those other drivers via for an imaginary pole position. Lol
I have you to thank for saving my life! 😄I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately because I’m looking to buying a used car and I decided on either a Civic, Corolla, Camry, or Fusion at the moment! Wish I would have came around your videos when I first started looking
Lora buy any of the 3 cars you mentioned except the Fusion. The only ford you should be buying is a truck if you need; otherwise, Chevy trucks are better. Good luck
Thank you very much for this informative video Scotty
I have a chrysler i dont have a engine to rev
Then you have a very safe car.
Jim Nesta 😂
Yes there the safest type of cars

put in a 1980s corolla engine and drive happily ever after!
The problem isn't always the car, It could be the person driving it.
He did tell us why they are dangerous! A cheap car, especially, these Korean ones, are cheap for a reason. Regardless who is driving, the quality of the steel in the car will save your life in a crash!
So you're telling me that Kia and Hyundai minicar owners are more inclined to drive recklessly? yeah, good one...
@@Hakkapell lmao he right , I have the red one Honda 2017 accent and he right lol vro thinking it’s a race car
@@marinazagrai1623 right but its the diver who usually determines if there is a crash or not. id be curious at what percentage of those deaths were the drivers fault vs being a victim. i bet the majority were the drivers fault.
@@Hakkapell Slow snails pace of acceleration? LOL : )
My Dad drives one of those Accent and/or Rios to deliver parts all day. Those things are not very good, but they are not death traps.
I had a first year Soul. It was a great car. Very reliable, nimble, fuel efficient, roomy, and fun to drive. I did total it this Nov when a giant buck stepped in front of it- 70 mph impact.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Accent. I accidentally rear ended a lady probably only 5mph but my car had no damage and not a scratch and hers had minor paint chips. So I don't think the Hyundai Accent is necessarily dangerous, I think since it's a cheap, efficient car a lot of parents buy it as their kids first car and we all know how damn hard it is for teenagers to get off their freaking phones while driving. Just my two cents.
Agreed
Adults too..every 2nd person I pass or drive next to me, are on their phones..TEXTING?! Really..texting?!
I was thinking the same thing as well. Since these cars ranked the highest, it's probably because that is what people ultimately purchased. Some people use their wallets to make decisions for them.
@@rosiebrough8918exactly, they act like only younger drivers do it.
I have a 2008 Hyundai Accent hatchback. In 2011, I was at a stop light in the left lane, an old F-150 was crossing in front of me and turning left, it was raining, he fishtailed and smushed the front left corner of the car, did considerable damage, the costs were just shy if a total. I didn't have a scratch, the front end crumpled, none of the impact transfered to the passenger compartment. As far as I'm concerned that car's design certainly saved me from injury, may well yave saved my life. Hyundais are great cars. The body shop of the Hyundai dealership in Salem, OR rebuilt my car, did a fantastic job, I still have it, am getting ready to sell only because I now have a problem with my left leg that makes it unsafe for me to drive a clutch.
Scotty is a guy, who says to buy Celica, and behind always have Celica hood opened.
Scotty is obsessed with Toyota and he thinks the other makes of cars is rubbish.
I almost bought a Versa but ended up with a Sebring. Its super safe too, since you can't wreck your car when it's in the shop.
Underrated comment lol
You are spot-on about the Versa. My wife rented one of those tin cans with wheels we drove from Maryland to Illinois and back I don't know if I prayed more that we would survive or that it would just get us there and back.
I owned 30 cars in my life and the most dangerous ones were clearly the 93-97 Corollas. When it was not catching fire, it could stop running/lighting/braking/turning at any moment. It once happened on a slippy icy road in winter. Having no more steering or brakes, the car slipped 90 degrees and i ended up in the opposite way with a semi truck braking and stopping 1 inch of my door. Let me tell you i don't feel unsafe in my 2016 Accent now...
I learned to drive manuals in a 94 Corolla. One of the best cars I've ever owned. Cheap and super reliable . I'm shocked you went through all that, but I'm glad you're still with us!
@@bryantdeleon7462 I,m glad you had no problem. I had 3 of them and they were all costly to repair and broken all the time. Engines and transmissions were reliable, everything else was VERY weak. Have a nice day man! ;)

Thanks Scotty for doing your research so I don't have to! Love to watch your videos. 😎👍
Thanks! My options for my next vehicle have been narrowed down!! Definitely getting a turbo charged Kia soul.
I agree with Scotty. That Versa is horrendous!
I have a 2007 Hyundai Accent SE. It corners like a boss and is very fun to drive. I've been impressed with it's toughness and reliability. I live on a winding dirt road that I used to treat as a rally course leaving for work at 4am. My driveway itself is over 650 ft long and on a hill. It gets washed out heavily after heavy storms. I can't always fix it very quickly so it can be rough and jarring. I have only had to replace one wheel bearing and the stabilizer links during 6 years of this treatment.
Like Scotty says about the Scion though, the numbers don't lie. I'm pretty sure the bigger issue is the small cars sharing the road with the people buying trucks the size of their egos and half the size of their insecurities.
Now Scotty, I know I'm only one person here, but I've owned a couple Souls and I had a base model 2011 and I got in a pretty bad accident with it in the winter a few years back and went into the ditch and spun it around. I ended up getting out completely untouched. I bought another '11 after that, this time with the 2.0l in a Standard Transmission and I had plenty of fun with that one. They are alot more fun to drive with a Standard than they are with Automatic. And I'd say in my own opinion they've been pretty safe.
Me: See's that Hyundai doesn't make the "safest"car
Also me: Buys Hyundai i30N
These are older models. Everything from 2017 onwards is much better. Cars like elantra and i30N are definitely safe.
That’s a sick car

*buys a q60*
Question: Scotty, I have a 1997 Ford F150 with a 4.6 engine. Itas around 270,000 miles on it. It runs great doesn't smoke but uses a little oil. The problem is that it runs great for about fifteen minutes but then loses oil pressure at idle. When I rev it back up the oil pressure returns. I was told that if the wrong size oil filter on there may cause this and sure enough it was so I replaced that and changed the oil but it still did it. (These quick oil change places will put a smaller size oil filter on there because its easier to get in the tight space). ThenI heard it could be the oil pressure sensor so I replaced that too but it still does it but after I did that the check engine light came on. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks
Scott you be saving lives!
You're good Scotty, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Scotty I am thinking of buying a used 2014 Mazda MX-5 GS for 23k CDN (40k -kms); buying automatic transmission with the theory being that the owners probably went easy on the car and it will be less appealing to steal. Thoughts?
Great content as always!
Remember the old days when the Gremlins, Mustangs, and Crown Vics used to explode on impact?
Great advise Scotty 👍🤭👌
Thanks alot Scottie. I only bought my 2011 Dodge Challenger because I thought it was one of the most deadly cars in America.
Ironically though these six cars probably still will hold up better in a wreck than that Celica Scotty drives 😎
Thanks Scotty. Youre always a wealth of knowledge
I'm from South Korea where this car was designed and the Hyundai Accent is my favorite compact car available here.
The Accent is used for driving school tests in Korea and is loved by those who want a fuel-efficient and low-priced car. I think it's a very good car for short distances and city driving.
One thing to remember before you buy this car is that the Accent is designed to fit the narrow Korean roads and small Asian bodies.
Of course, if you're a driver who likes to cross Texas every day at 75 mph driving a heavy three-ton Chevy pickup or SUV, you'll definitely hate this car.
The smart way to choose a car is to buy one that fits your budget and circumstances. If you don't like small cars, buy another big and nice car.
The important thing is not to choose a safe car, but to be a safe driver.
For example, Japanese drivers drive small vans that are much more dangerous than this car. Interestingly, they rarely get into an accident.
Well at least the PT Cruiser didn't make that list 😂😂
Theres only like 10000 still on the road...
Ava Gates yeah me 2..if they rear end someone or someone from behind pushes them into a car in front of them they can't escape through the front doors..have to climb to back and get out the back doors

@@glengerdes2447 my friend in Wellington Kansas has two PT Cruisers 2001 first generation and 2006 second generation beautiful awesome cars just maintenance nightmares cheers
PT Cruisers are incredibly safe cars. They're always broken so you can never drive and get killed in them!
car deaths increased because of distracted driving in the modern era
Also they're handing out Drivers license's like candy
Mike Litoris Most young people now lack common sense.
Master J I agree, most accidents I’ve seen lately are due to cell phone texting.
All of these cars are most likely to be driven by women... coincidence? I don't think so.
@Sam Santos Its just simple fact.. Look it up.. Women take up 68% of all crashes.. That's not even close to being an even split. I don't know about you; But I know several crazy women drivers that make me wanna walk.. They're out there, believe me.
Idk man... my 2014 Hyundai Accent has given me 2 accidents with fairly rough impacts. One with an F350 and the other with a Ford Focus. No airbags went off and no injuries(besides a couple minor bruises).
Many years ago I came across an accident on a two lane highway, where a 1996 Cavalier passed a Park Avenue on an icy road. The Cavalier lost control and was t-boned by the Park Avenue. It cut the Cavalier in half and killed the boy driving it. The Park Avenue people had their front end crushed in, but lived.
I had a work emergency about a year ago and was going 95 down the interstate at 3am. I was passed by one of those smart cars like I was parked. Must have been going 150. I have no way of knowing if it was modified but I didn’t think they could go anywhere near that fast.

Scion TC - young people car that's why lol
The whole roof of the Scion tC is tempered glass, so (A) it's glass, and (B) it's not safety glass. I know that's true of the first generation (with no choice of a different roof), and I'm pretty sure it's true of the later ones.
Why is Chrysler not on this list?
Because they are all in the shop.
S Tho good one ☝️
Being in the shop does not equate the most dangerous. That's the topic.
Michael Self you can't rate a deadly vehicle if people are never driving them.
lol
For some reason whenever I rent an economy class car, I'm always given a Versa. I guess as a rental I don't care, but I know what you mean by them not being all that safe or feeling all that safe, not to mention they are under powered. I mean they'll get you going on the highway but passing, especially in windy weather might be a challenge, plus I found you can get thrown around a bit if it's really windy out side. Not the same as driving a slightly heavier vehicle like a Focus or even a Chevy Cruize. I personally wouldn't buy a Versa, partially because it's a Nissan but also because they literally sound like a tin can when you close the doors, etc.
The Chevy Spark and the Mitsubishi Mirage are pretty sure to end some existences. Great vid Scotty!
Don't hold your breath no deaths in neither yet.
I’ve been in an accident with a 2014 Accent (that was also a rental) that happened from hydroplaning on a wet highway in the middle of the night trying to avoid a deer in the middle of the road when I was heading back to my campus after an emergency I had to deal with. Didn’t hit the guardrail as hard as I thought at first, but the right rear of the car was completely destroyed and was undrivable. Thankfully I was only shaken up from the wreck, nothing more.
Well, that's more of a tire problem than the actual car imo.
I got a 2010 hyundai accent hatchback for my first car, I believe i'm in the clear.
What was the mileage
i have the safest car in the world, its sitting next to my house and cant move under its own power.
Love this comment
Thanks for you videos I really like them,but I would like if you can say something obout Volvos from 2000 to 2008,thanks again!!
Scotty- They impressed me with their flimsiness!😂😂😂
My son was driving a 2013 Kia Rio, in March a deer hit HIM! We noticed the airbag didn’t deploy, we figured it might be because the deer hit his fender. Anyway, the deer didn’t make it but thankfully my son wasn’t hurt. The insurance company totaled the Rio, now he’s driving a 2017 Honda Accord, he’s much happier...
Same thing happened to me and the Deer was uninsured of course.
Steven Roland Bwaahaaahaaa
Honda's are Lovely to drive and well built too
Joseph Wallace - a huge buck landed on the hood of my 2000 El Dorado up in the mountains about 10 yrs ago, the deer didn’t make it; the insurance company paid me $6500, I had paid $2500 cash when I bought it the year before - lol
Do not compare a rio to an accord...totally different cars.
Greetings, Scottie,
Been listening to your videos for about 6 months and pretty much enjoy the knowledge that you bring to people.
The question that I have is in reference to the vehicle that I own and how do I go about creating a class action law suite.
I have a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan GT, 64,000 miles and the "check engine" light came on. I have taken and had the vehicle code checked and tuned up due to code P0302=cylinder 2 misfire.
Seems to me via different plogs that this is a common problem with the 3.7L VVT engine and people have paid big money to correct a factory problem (no warranty or factory recall).
How and what do I need to do to create a class action law suite?
Thanks.

Good luck with this !
Word of advice although too late...NEVER buy any Dodge Caravan after 2007 which was the last good year. After this they were an all new vehicle which are complete garbage. 2005-2007 with the 3.3 V-6 are the best. Find one of these if you like Caravans like I do.
Love the new intro video
Put your safety belt on. Airbags won't protect you well in a rollover.
Or any other crashes really because they are built to work together with the safety belt.
neither will a seat belt...
You're still gonna bang your head on everything around you and crack it open like an unboiled egg.
If you roll over on your side the the curtain airbags should help
How hard is it too put a seatbelt on to use indicators and to put away the cell phone really how hard is it. Takes two seconds to clip the belt in not even a second to flick the indicators on and no seconds to put down the phone cause you shouldn't even be touching it at all why'll driving
@@anthonymolina7416 a rollover usually means a 360° or many of them.
Right now, given the trouble I'm having with my Xterra, I'd give my soul for a Kia Soul -- bad safety rating or not. At least the bloody thing would run well enough to get into a wreck.
Manuel Garcia My Xterra sucked too! Well, it did take me across the country from Maine to California twice. But gas mileage sucked. As did the fact that the transmission was horrible! Don’t try to put in in reverse, unless you want to hear it grind like a mo fo!! I thought it was just the way my fiancé drove, but no...it did it to me too. And then, because of the way the engine is set up, it costs a small fortune to get the transmission looked at because they have to drop the engine(or, that is just what they told me because they could never fix that grind in the transmission!) Oh, can’t forget the air conditioner crapping out on me, over and over again. I feel for ya, man. Get out of it while you can!! That is my best advise for you! Resale value on it is $h!t, so make sure you make it SPOTLESS inside before you sell it!
All these cars are 10x safer than the Celica ‘96 😂
You're right!
I like that ending, "& I'm heading in the house because theres a storm brewing."
I'm thankful to beat the odds. I was in an accident in a 2016 Hyundai Accident in March of 2017. Survived with a hairline fracture of my pelvis. No small feat for a 6'2" driver in a near t-bone collision. Most of the vehicles are cheaper to buy and most are probably driven by young people and old people. Those two demographics are charged higher premiums for reason.
Anyway love your vids Scotty
@@user-zd9fc4vs4q Like OP said, it's probably the demographic, not the car. Cheap cars = lots of teenage drivers = stupidity = lots dead. I haven't been checking individual cars these days but Hyundais have done pretty well on crash tests for almost two decades.
@@user-zd9fc4vs4q Elantra are really better built than accents in almost everyway, and then it also has about 2.5 to 4 times less deaths per million depending on the year made, about 18 model there is no data yet ? But generally elantras do not compare to accents
One of the safest small cars out there that actually looks pretty nice in my opinion is the Kia Forte.
Nice rationalization for the Toyota Scion TC! Of course, all others are "flimsy".
omg god all the cars on this list is exactly what i was looking at buying for university. thanx scott for being honest. my first car i brought when i started university was a Nissan altima. and of course the transmission failed. wish i saw these videos before.looking into a toyota or honda for my next purchase
