    I mean what's a relatively cheap, and safe car to be in in case of, let's say a 60kph collision. This should go for both the front and rear passengers.

    anything that passes the crash safety test is good enough for me. yon nga lang syempre may ibang mas matibay kesa sa ordinary.

    let's say 1.5-2M price range.. do we have cars with rear and curtain airbags at this price range?

    is volvo the safest? or have the other car makers caught up in the safety department?

    They still are. Check this out. US auto-insurance group introduces new front-crash test - News | TopGear.com.ph

    Ang maiisip ko ngayon na kotse with that kind of safety features would be the Premium variants of the Tucson and Sportage, Lancer EX GT-A, and the mid to high variants of pretty much all currently available midsize executive sedans.

    A second hand Volvo may not cost that much. They have SIPS (Side Impact Protection System), they also have side curtain airbags. They may even make an airbag for the gas pedal if they can get away with it ...
