The IIHS or Insurance Institute for Highway safety is the leading organization in North America when it comes to determining vehicle safety. Now, the IIHS has teamed up with Consumer Reports to bring us an extensive list of the best used and new vehicles for teenagers. Mazda vehicles feature prominently on this list.

In order to compile their ranking, the IIHS and Consumer Reports combined their data to create a list of the vehicles that offer the highest safety rating along with the best reliability scores. Given that the safety of a given vehicle and its reliability are two important criteria for parents looking for a new or pre-owned vehicle for their teenager, this list is telling and certainly relevant.

We are sure most parents would agree. And if you are looking for a vehicle for your team that offers both safety and reliability, the following Mazda vehicles were highlighted by the IIHS.
