You don't need to work at Piedmont Honda to know that the auto brand's 2013 Civic is the most popular small car with individual new car buyers. While the sedan's solid fuel economy, refined ride, and numerous powertrain options to satisfy your power hungers are all favored features, we are big fans on the Civic's safety scores. The beloved Honda model recently earned the highest possible overall safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as well as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The Honda Civic was also honored with the 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score, with five stars being perfect, in the NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program as well as the highest possible rating for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick.
"Car shoppers cannot find a small car with higher overall safety ratings than the 2013 Honda Civic," noted Art St. Cyr, the vice president of product planning. "Safety ratings leadership across product lines is a fundamental part of not only our strategic business plan, but also our philosophy as a company."1
Some of the many advanced safety features that aided the Civic in landing such superior rankings include its entirely new Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, which proved to be advantageous during crash testing because the Honda's reinforced framework improves frontal crash energy. Even the standard Honda model boasts stability control, antilock brakes, front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, and front 3-point seat belts with automatic tensioning system.
With such first-class safety ratings, we can be rest assured that you, our customers, are leaving our dealership in Anderson, SC in good hands when it entails leaving in a new Honda, especially the 2013 Civic sedan. Be on the safe side and visit us today for your test drive.
