Oops! Only Honda did their homework!
The Honda Odyssey was the only minivan to earn the highest safety rating in new crash tests by the insurance industry.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says the Nissan Quest, Chrysler Town and Country, and Dodge Caravan all garnered the lowest rating on the small overlap front crash test. In each of those tests, the crash caused the minivan's structure to collapse. The Nissan Quest was called "one of the worst crash tests we've ever seen" by a lead executive at IIHS, according to CNBC. Test dummies riding in the Quest had to be pried out of the wreck with a crowbar.

And that's why I always have a crowbar in the trunk.
