Newer cars are provably much safer compared to older models. They have both active safety systems, such as pre-collision braking, lane tracking, etc. as well as passive systems such as airbags and superior crumple zones.

You can buy a good, safe, and reliable second hand car from a manufacturer like Toyota, Honda, etc.
