The Honda Accord sedan has received top safety marks.
(prHWY.com) September 14, 2011 - San Josh, CA -- Drivers trust third party institutions to analyze vehicles on the market for many things. Interested in Initial Quality rankings? Check out J.D. Power and Associates. Wondering what Sunnyvale used cars are worth? Kelley's Blue Book has the estimates you need. When it comes to safety, however, Santa Clara used Honda Accord shoppers rely on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The NHTSA is responsible for helping consumers make informed car-buying decisions.
Shoppers of Sunnyvale used cars will be thrilled to know about the 5-star rating given to the 2011 Accord Sedan by this very same organization. The rating is especially impressive considering that the regulations used by the NHTSA have become even stricter.
Many elements went into making the Accord Sedan such a stellar vehicle for safety. For added stability, engineers at Honda included Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA). In situations that require precise control to avoid an accident, VSA steps in to sense over/understeering and even regulates brake pressure.
Standard safety features include Anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). Both work in sync to ensure control during extreme braking. Integrated into wheel safety is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to keep Santa Clara used Honda Accord drivers aware at all times. Also standard are multi-located airbags. Passengers are protected from the front, front side and the side curtain areas.
Yet another consideration was made by Honda when designing the 2011 Accord. The Advance Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure was pivotal to its score. With ACE in place, energy produce by a crash in the front is dispersed more extensively throughout the vehicle, rather than the impact focusing where passengers are located.
