If you’re a mum on the lookout for a new car to ferry your
family around in, then you want to know it’s the safest option, without any
doubt. It’s a safe assumption that top of your list is economy – both with the
car itself and its running costs. A comparison site like
Moneysupermarket has car insurance quotes a-plenty and is a great tool to
help keep your car insurance costs to an absolutely minimum – something you
should always find out the cost of
before buying a new car.
So being the lovely people we are, we’ve decided to give you
a handy lowdown of which of 2011’s latest cars have been voted the safest in
town, and why. Here’s a list of the UK’s five safest cars in 2011, as voted for
by to car-safety experts, European
New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP).

This year’s rigorous testing program began in 2010, and
involved crash testing 29 cars of
varying makes and models, after which Euro NCAP then awards a safety rating,
with five stars being the safest.
