Would you feel safer in a Buick Enclave that gets 5 stars in the NHSTA, but no small overlap test or auto braking or the Mercedes GL450 with all the safety features, but no crash tests at all?
The smaller Buick SUV gets a poor small overlap rating...doesn't help my confidence, but I guess all models are different.
I am mostly trying to decide between the Honda Odyssey or the Acura MDX, but LOVED driving the Mercedes and the Buick is awesome in that it's more luxurious. quiet, and smoother than the minivan and still can seat 8 with decent cargo space. However I was hoping to get a car that had passed the small overlap and a 5 star rating plus extra space so I could feel better about trading in a 2012 BMW with very low miles (way too small)! But would put both on the list of consideration if the safety gurus think they are worthy!
