Don’t know where you’re getting the “fuel thirst of a large car”. It’s a 4 cylinder. and, many small cars arent’ going to have the crash protection of a large car, but it does have: Dual front impact airbags and Dual front side impact airbags.

<p>The 2008 Suzuki Reno was near the bottom of its class of 2008 small cars in both EPA fuel economy (19/28; see <a href=“http://www.fueleconomy.gov”>http://www.fueleconomy.gov</a> ) and IIHS crash test performance (acceptable front, poor side; see <a href=“http://www.iihs.org”>http://www.iihs.org</a> ). Reviews indicate that its handling (which affects crash avoidance) was not very good. There are not a lot of reasons to choose that model over almost any other comparably priced used car, assuming good condition.</p>
