Any car is safe on an expressway, these are the safest roads that exist.

There is no substitute for a good driver. That said, if you are worried
about passive crash safety, I'd suggest the usual Saab or Volvo.

However, you really don't want to drive a Volvo.

Remember to adapt your speed to the road conditions, and look ahead. And
look behind, and look to the sides. Really aside from a freak idiot who
rams into you going 30 mi/h faster than you, I don't see how you can be
rear-ended, IF you were driving properly. Many people make mistake
accidents, but they are rare.
