Safety Systems & Braking
Only the most important part of a car. Fortunately, more and more safety features are coming standard these days. Be sure to check what's standard (side air bags?) or optional.

  • Air bags?
  • Up-to-date child restraint system?
  • Does the brake pedal movement smooth and even?
  • Is the vehicle equipped with ABS (Anti-Lock Braking Systems)?
  • Does the vehicle have traction control?
  • Noises?
  • Shimmy on brake?
