While no one wants to be involved in a crash, the IIHS believes it would be wise to choose a vehicle in which your chances of survival are improved.



While no subcompacts received the TSP+ rating, the Chevrolet Spark is the only vehicle in its class to receive the Top Safety Pick rating, which is just one step below TSP+.
