2003 Accord is "BEST PICK" in Crash Test
just watched it on DateLine, big improvement from the 6th gen's "Good" overall back in '98.
In 1998 the Honda Accord received an acceptable rating. “The kind of forces we recorded were sufficient to cause a leg fracture,” says O’Neill.
Now five years later how does the Accord do? The 2003 Honda Accord also gets a best pick.
“And now we have very good structural performance everywhere, including the foot well region,” says O’Neill.
Never has the Institute had a group of cars in one round that did so well in the crash test. Not only did every car get a good, it also got a “Best Pick.” And at the Insurance Institute that means you’re the cream of the crop.
