This year Honda has a New Year's resolution of its own: to keep drivers safe with its new Honda lineup. Those of you in the greater Fairfield area will be delighted to know that Honda is in fact holding true to its promise. This is because the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has recently chosen the 2013 Honda Accord as one of its Top Safety Picks of the year.
How did this model earn its title? Well here at Steve Hopkins Honda we are devoted to bringing you the latest details. To name the safest cars for 2013, IIHS developed stricter standards with its Top Safety Pick+ award. This was done to ensure superior crash protection. The tests included moderate and small overlap front, side, rollover and rear tests. In order to pass, vehicles had to receive a rating of "good" in four out of the five tests, with the fifth earning a rating of no less than "acceptable."
"Models that earn Top Safety Pick also offer outstanding protection in many crashes," says Adrian Lund, President of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. "These vehicles are much safer choices than most vehicles on the market just five years ago."1
Safety is a factor of major importance when it comes to selecting just the right vehicle. At Steve Hopkins Honda we are proud to have one of the safest cars to drive amongst our 2013 lineup. If you are interested in learning about other safety features like the rear backup camera available on models like the 2013 Crosstour or the 2013 Odyssey, then stop in and see us at 2499 Auto Mall Pkwy Fairfield, CA 94533 today!
