Top Safety Pick+ Rating Presented To 2016 Honda Pilot

We understand that teaching your teen to drive can be both a rewarding and terrifying experience. Handing off the keys to your teen can be difficult especially when you know that at this point driving seems more like fun to them than the serious task that it really is. While it is up to you to instill the proper level of respect for driving that they need to keep them safe, we can help out by providing you with a vehicle that will help to keep them protected at all times. Edmunds.com has released a list of the 10 Best Cars for Teen Drivers and the 2016 Honda Accord was one of the vehicles to make the list! The 2016 Accord is a midsize sedan which is ideal for teen drivers because their sedan status makes them easy to navigate for newer drivers, but their slightly larger size means that there is more vehicle surrounding your teen to help keep them safe. "Midsize sedans are the best choice for teens," says Tamra Johnson, manager of public relations for the Automobile Association of America. "Small cars don't offer as much protection in crashes, sporty cars may encourage speeding or recklessness, and SUVs and pickup trucks are more difficult to maneuver and more likely to roll over." The 2016 Honda Accord comes equipped with standard features that include Front Side Airbags, Side Curtain Airbags, Active Front Head Restraints, and a Rearview Camera. There are also many other available safety feature options such as Blind-Spot Monitor, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Front Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking.
