Honda and Subaru are making the safest cars on the road, according to a new report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety - which has spent the last year smashing and mangling countless 2014 vehicle models to see which provide the best protection for drivers and passengers. Out of the IIHS' 22 vehicles that received the Top Safety Pick+ rating - the highest rating the nonprofit can give - five are Hondas and three are Subarus. The Audi A4, the Toyota Prius V, Kia Forte and Nissan Sentra all fared among the worst for this year's models. Scroll down for video
