The 2013 Honda Civic Sedan Earns Five-Star Safety Rating

Online, May 30, 2013 (Newswire.com) - There are few things that give an automaker more pride than hearing that their vehicles keep people safe, so it is with great excitement that Bommarito Honda announces that the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan has earned the highest safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Taking home a five-star overall rating for crash safety, Honda's famous compact sedan now has safety accolades from the two biggest organizations in the industry, having earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's coveted Top Safety Pick+ ranking. The Civic Coupe also earned the Top Safety Pick+ ranking from the IIHS and netted a four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.

The five-star overall rating is a composite of other safety tests performed by the NHTSA, and the Civic Sedan earned four stars for frontal crashes, five stars for side impacts, and four stars for rollover safety protection. This is far from the first time that the Civic has earned such praise from industry leaders, however. In fact, last year's model earned the five-star NHTSA overall rating as well.

Drivers are flocking to the 2013 Honda Civic for more than just safety, though. The latest model also represents Honda's push toward causing drivers and automakers to rethink what features should be included as standard. The 2013 Civic Sedan LX - the entry-level trim - includes a suite of amenities that most automakers are charging drivers extra for, including:

• Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, letting drivers stay connected and doing so safely while behind the wheel.

• An innovative infotainment system; Honda's i-MID offers a unique experience, controlling all of the vehicle's technology in one convenient place.

• A rearview camera system, making backing up and parallel parking easier than ever.
