Hondas do very well in the tests - but tend to have different names in the US to here - a Honda CR-V gets 4 stars for occupants, and 3 for pedestrians,Accords get 4 and 2,and post 2002 Civics 4 & 2 - pre 2002 civics get 2 & 2 - but I would guess Civic are too small for the American market anyway.
And I've just noticed something called a Chevrolet Aveo only gets one star for occupant safety - but three for pedestrians, so better be walking than in it! I think it is probably not a real Chevy though - probably one of the ones that used to be Daewoos.

It looks as if a German Merc,or BMW or a French car (Renault, Peugeot or Citroen)or a Swedish Saab might be the best bet, on average!!
