These three family friendly Honda vehicles earned the top crashworthiness ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  The experts we also impressed that each vehicle is equipped with a standard rearview camera.  These three models were selected out of hundreds of models because they excel in the key areas of safety, convenience features, performance and value.

The Accord was recognized as one of the top sedans for families for the third straight year.

The 2015 CR-V was recognized as one of the best crossovers for families.

The spacious, fuel-efficient and versatile 2015 Honda Fit was chosen as one of the best budget cars on the annual list.

Honda Is Tops in Holding Value

2013 Accord

American Honda Motor Company wins ALG's 2013 Residual Value Award for Best Mainstream Brand, besting competitors in long term value.  What that means for you (and me) as Honda owners, is that Honda retains its value even as it ages.  When it's time to trade-in, or sell your car,  you'll get far more for your Honda vehicle, than your friends who own some other make.  (Something I noted in this post on getting the most for your trade-in.)

2013 Odyssey

"Long-term value and reliability are both hallmarks of the Honda brand and we are honored to be recognized by ALG as the industry leader in these key qualities," said Michael Accavitti, vice president of national marketing operations at America Honda.  "The Honda engineering philosophy not only delivers immediate value to our customers, but will pay off in the long run as well."

The Honda brand's award of Best Mainstream Brand, recognizes the entire Honda lineup for exceptional vehicle quality, strong brand desirability, and long-term reliability.  In addition, The 2013 Accord, the Honda Odyssey and the Honda Fit, all received top honors in their individual categories, which were Best Midsize Car, Best Minivan and Best Sub-Compact Car, respectively.
