How can I be sure that a cheap car is a safer and better option for me?

 Well, safer it won’t be – today’s cars are designed with the best levels of crash safety and collision avoidance technology there is, and while much of the gadgetry on modern cars is superfluous, anything that preserves life most certainly isn’t. However, it’s fair to say that the bangers of today aren’t like the old clunkers of years gone by. Our Mondeo has front, side and curtain airbags, ESP, ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution and a computer-designed crash structure that’s generations ahead of cars before it – it’s still a safe and strong car, and certainly one that will save you a lot of money long-term.
