Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
Ok, out ouf all the cars you listed, the VW Jetta is the safest, being the toyota corolla only has 2 airbags v.s. the jettas 6, the mustang is a great car, just not a car you want to be driving in the snow (if that effects you), because the sway bars are a tad stiff, especially getting on to hard packed snow with the amount of understeer and stuff, not too safe, but great car

well, since all the cars execpt the ford bese are made out of light-weight alimunim, if you ever get into an accident, the base would crumple up, which is a good thing. would u want the car to crumple or you? it costs alot to fix, but its safer. the ford's base is made out of steel ( especially ford mustangs, my favs) so the base will crumple, sure especially if its a head-on, but not as much.which mean more of the force will be transferred onto you and the passenger, but costs alot less too fix. so the question is pay more for every fender-bender and be safe, or dent up other peoples cars, pay insurance, and be less safe. i hate to admit it, but the mustang isnt the way too go. especially if you have kids.

Either the toyotas or the hondas would be the safest.

i would say the Ford Mustang would be the safest. But the cars under 1970 are more safe then the new ones... DEFINITELY dude.

Of the cars you've listed, the VW is probably the safest. Stay away from the Ford - it may look cool, but American cars are still a lot poorer quality than most imports (and many "imports" now are partly or totally made in the USA, so that's a distinction that's losing its meaning).
I've owned a Civic and a Corolla in my time, and they're both great cars.
Of course, there's more to safety than just crash survival. For example, the Civic I had had the best visibility and handling of any car I've ever owned - ideal for avoiding accidents.
And no matter what car you end up with, you can do a LOT to improve your safety. For example, get into the habit of never even STARTING the car until your seatbelt is on. Make sure that you're wearing your seatbelt properly, and that it's properly adjusted. Read the car manual - it might be boring, but you'll get some really useful information from it, too. It sounds corny, but it could save your life.
I won't go into the obvious stuff - keeping your windows clean, always driving sober, that sort of thing - but I will suggest this: DON'T park your car on the street if you can ever help it. I've had two cars badly sideswiped and one straight-on rammed while they were parked in front of my house. In each case the person who hit my car took off without leaving a note.
Oh, and one other thing: if you ever get into an accident (and the odds are that sometime in you life you will) WAIT at the scene until the police arrive and take your information.

I'm currently working in Motor Insurance Claims in the UK. Not taking into account the Mustang (it's not a car that is avalible over here) i would say that the VW Jetta is the car that i've had the least claims for.

my dad is crazy about the most efficient (fuel) and reliability and that sorta stuff (comsumer reports magazine is his life) and he has a toyota corolla. hope that helps! but if your still not sure, compare them on the actual articles in the consumer report magazine. <3

well honda civics aren't that safe i've heard my dad say...honda accords are much safer but any honda is gonna be a very dependable car. out of all those i'd go w/the mustang cuz they're the coolest.

Get a Toyota Celica or a Honda Civic. I haven't heard anything bad about them. They are all pretty safe expect i've heard alotta bad things about ford mustangs. And the Corolla's-trix
