A new car is better, but I'd argue that driving defensively is a far greater factor than what car you have in determining your odds of making it home.

True, but I'm not talking about buying a big hulk so I can confidently watch TV while driving. I'm talking about replacing an old car with 310,000 miles (by the time I'm ready to buy a new car) with a significantly safer car, which also has a combined average 9 mpg higher.
