The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
The benchmark for mid-size sedans.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com
Honda's new Accord sets the standard for mid-size sedans. It is a great family sedan, at or near the top of its class in every measure. Accord offers a smooth, quiet ride quality, and an attractive interior with front and rear seats that are roomy and comfortable. Its handling inspires confidence and its VTEC engines are smooth, powerful and efficient. To those ingredients are added Honda's reputation for quality, durability and reliability.For these reasons, the Accord is extremely popular. Don't expect to own the only one in your neighborhood: Honda sold more than 400,000 Accords in 1999. And don't expect bargain prices because this vote of confidence puts dealers in the driver's seat. Even so, those who buy a Honda Accord should enjoy many years of pleasant, trouble-free motoring - important qualities for great family sedans. |
|
Overview:
|
Honda Accord is arguably the best mid-size sedan available. It does everything well. The interior is roomy and comfortable, the suspension is responsive and well damped, the brakes are excellent, and both of its VTEC engines-a 3.0-liter V6 and a 2.3-liter four-cylinder-are incredibly smooth. It is a remarkably easy car to drive and every aspect of it is user friendly. But most people buy an Accord because they feel it is a safe choice. It is, after all, a Honda, so reliability should not be an issue. The Accord is a car that a family can buy, then turn its attention back to the other concerns of a hectic daily life. An entire generation has grown up with Hondas and the Accord has been one of America's best-selling cars for the past 10 years. For 2000, all Accords feature Honda's patented dual-stage inflator airbag technology, which automatically adjusts the deployment of the front passenger airbag based on the severity of the crash and whether seatbelts are being worn. Top Sedan trim levels are also fitted with a side airbag system; the system is capable of deactivating the passenger's side-airbag if a matrix of seven sensors determines the passenger is too small or out of position.
