Looking for a SAFE cheap car

I was in a bad car crash a week ago. The frame of my 1999 Camry saved my life. The car was totaled and I won’t be getting much for it. I might be able to add one or two thousand to what I get. I think I might have about $5,000 to $6,000 to spend.



Understandably, my biggest priority in my next car is the best car that will protect me in an accident. Next is good mileage. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
