You have kids. You want to save money, but you also want to keep them safe. As a conscientious parent, you would prefer an eco-friendly vehicle, too. Are all of these criteria possible to meet in one car?
The 2016 Toyota Prius has all the answers.
Despite its compact size, the Toyota Prius is surprisingly sturdy -- earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. This award signifies that it passed five separate crash tests with the highest-possible marks for injury-prevention and structural stability. When equipped with Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, it was able to fully brake from 12mph and 25mph in time to avoid a crash.
For Montana families with small children in particular, the new "Prius open-access concept" is a game-changer. This system allows convenient access to LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children), making child seat installation so easy, it was one of only three models to earn a Good+ rating for LATCH ease-of-use.
