Lets be a little more cost-minded:

So it looks like you are going with safety/girth over mpg 🙂

Are you looking for an old car to rack up miles, or a new car?

Tesla.

This. That way in case the head-on collision doesn't take you the fiery, explosions of the batteries will. 😉

This is the safest car on the road. Throw in the MPGe and you're golden!

"Safest car" is a collection of ratings across many crash test categories. Doesn't mean it is the best for head on.

Unless you are getting a big truck, then a Tesla has the largest crumple zone.

Dont forget the crash avoidance factor that Teslas bring as well.

4/12/19 12:54pm

do you work for Tesla or just own one?

Ha, neither. I'll be getting a Model 3 soon, but I don't have it right now.

Tesla Coug

Will get a Model 3 Y when it comes out.

4/12/19 1:06pm

I'll get the 3 first. Maybe Y later when I have kids.

you changed your name to TeslaCoug but don't even own one?

You will die in a highway head on collision, better to make it quick & painless.

A 2008 to 2019 Ford Taurus is not a bad option: Built on a Volvo Chassis

I think the F150 would be a good option. Are they reliable?

I love my King Ranch F150, but I will say that I have had to fix a lot of dumb crap on it.

"Reliable" is not what it used to be. Meaning most cars today, even the "crappy" ones, are more reliable than
