Five Honda Models Earn IIHS Safety Accolades

This won’t come as a huge surprise to those that have been Honda owners for some time, but Honda models continue to be among the safest automobiles in the industry, as proven once again by safety tests performed over the course of the last few months by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

These tests, which look at all the most common ways that a vehicle can be involved in an accident, look at how advanced safety features and designated crumple zones work when a vehicle is pushed to its limits. Since Honda is known for working in cutting-edge safety tech and performing extremely well on these tests, it’s no shock to see that four 2016 model year Honda vehicles already have been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, while a fifth has been named a Top Safety Pick.

2016 Honda Pilot Models Rock SEMA

In a lot of ways, the SEMA show held annually in Las Vegas is one of the most unique and entertaining auto exhibitions in the industry today. Since it focuses on aftermarket customization and crazy concepts, there really is very little limit to what an automaker will bring for the viewing pleasure of the masses. Even relatively conservative models can look fairly outrageous (and awesome) when put on display at SEMA with a handful of personalization options added.

Drivers Keeping Honda Models for 10+ Years

One of the things that really sets apart Honda from the rest of the automotive competition is that they produce vehicles that consumers tend to keep for a very, very long time. A lot of that is tied to the reliability of Honda cars and SUVs, but whatever the reason, Honda is one of only two makes of vehicles that customers keep for a decade or more, according to a recent survey of 400,000 vehicles organized by iSeeCars.com. That is truly elite status for our beloved machines, and a list of the “Top New Cars Owners Keep for 10 Years” showed just how many Honda models stick around longer than a two-term president.
