However, results of a new study indicate how misguided that notion is.<\/p>\n<p>CNNMoney reports that new statistics released by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that someone driving a 2009 SUV is almost half as likely to die in a rollover accident as someone driving a 2009 sedan Experts believe the declining rate is due to the implementation of electronic stability control, which is a computer-based technology that provide drivers with the ability to maintain better control of their vehicle even if they find themselves on slippery roads and other dangerous conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The new statistics paint SUVs as being among the safest vehicles on the road, behind only minivans. With the public perception of the large-sized vehicles likely to change, many prospective buyers looking for a safe way to transport large amount of people, cargo and other items may have just been given a reliable choice.<\/p>\n<p>But what SUV is the best one to get? According to Edmunds auto analysts, there are a number of factors to take into consideration if you are looking for a new or used SUV. Price, of course, is a big sticking point for many drivers, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Chevrolet\" class=\"dnautolink\">Chevrolet<\/a> Equinox is one of the most affordable options on the road today.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Honda\" class=\"dnautolink\">Honda<\/a> CR-V gives prospective drivers a suitable option for navigating the suburban streets with the entire family in tow while still offering a modicum of class and elegance.<\/p>\n<p>Although price is certainly an important factor, some drivers are looking for a vehicle that comes with plenty of power as well. In terms of size and strength, few SUVs have proven to be more reliable than the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=GMC\" class=\"dnautolink\">GMC<\/a> Yukon, which has the capacity to seat as many as nine people, all while providing substantial towing capacity. But for those looking for greater fuel economy, Edmunds suggests <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Buick\" class=\"dnautolink\">Buick<\/a> Enclave, which still offers the truck-like qualities of SUVs but with a more relaxed and refined look.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether or not you are looking for seating, towing or style, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\" class=\"dnautolink\">New Jersey Auto Auction<\/a> carries used SUVs at affordable prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks in large part to their larger size and the fact that they sit higher of the ground, SUVs have earned the ignominious reputation of being a high rollover risk.
