Though more expensive than in previous years, you’re really just paying for more advanced safety features. Like the Buick Lucerne, the LaCrosse attracts mature drivers.

1) 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis

This car is heavily based on the Ford Crown Victoria, the safe cars most of the countries police officers still use, so you know it’s safe. Grand Marquis drivers are also statistically safer than the average driver.
