Consumer Reports says Mazda is the safest brand

Quote: "Mazda's strong results demonstrate our long‑standing belief that true safety comes from the seamless integration of advanced engineering, intuitive technology, and vehicles that respond predictably and confidently to the driver."

Sounds about right to me. I am consistently impressed with how playful and lively Mazda's chassis is while being downright stable and predictable, at a broad range of different speeds.

It's really impressive to me that I can routinely get my FWD Mazda 6 to oversteer in slippery conditions when equipped with winter tires. In the odd time that I have to be evasive and experience oversteer unintentionally, the vehicle is still composed and easy to control, even at higher speeds.

I believe the vehicle's neutral handling and composure play a large role in safety.
