What car flips or rolls the easiest?

There's no single car model that's definitively the "easiest" to flip or roll. The likelihood of a vehicle rollover depends on many factors far beyond just the make and model:

* Center of gravity: Higher center of gravity increases rollover risk. This is why SUVs and trucks are statistically more prone to rollovers than sedans. However, even within those categories, individual models vary.

* Speed: Higher speeds dramatically increase the risk of a rollover, regardless of the vehicle type.

* Driver behavior: Aggressive driving maneuvers like sharp turns and sudden braking are major contributors to rollovers.

* Road conditions: Poor road surfaces, slippery conditions (rain, snow, ice), and uneven terrain all heighten the risk.

* Vehicle condition: Faulty tires, suspension problems, or improper loading can significantly impact stability.

* Impact type: The type of collision can also determine the likelihood of a rollover.

While some vehicle types are statistically more prone to rollovers (like higher center of gravity vehicles), it's impossible to name a single car model as the "easiest" to flip. Focusing on safe driving practices is far more effective in preventing rollovers than worrying about a specific make and model.
