Sindawe:
Those that are parked and have the parking brake set.

The five safest cars of all time:

Buick LeSabre (model year 2000)
Honda Civic (model year 2001)
Lincoln LS (model year 2001)
Volkswagen Passat (model years 2000 and 2001)
Volvo S80 (model year 2001)

I wouldn't hesitate to state Volvo--any of them.  I think Ford's latest F150 scored pretty high on the NHTSA's frontal crash...not sure about other tests.

The big Renault's do very well in the NCAP tests here in Europe.

Of course I don't like Renaults.

It's a love it/hate it prospect, but I bought a classic 240 for my 15 yr old daughter's first car.  Not very fast, but VERY safe, and you can pick 'em up these days under 3000.
IMO, it's the perfect 'first car'.  Just make sure you get one with a driver's side airbag.
