Car-buyers and critics alike have good reason to love the 2012 Honda Civic. After all, the sixth most popular car on the road today has quite a bit to offer consumers. It is offered in a wide range of trim levels to adhere to all budgets. On top of that the Civic is always fuel efficient, comfortable, and stylish at any trim level. But, perhaps most importantly, the 2012 Honda Civic is safe. And, when we say safe, we mean it is one safe ride.
But, car-buyers are smart folks, so we figured you'd be looking for proof of the Honda Civic's safety, and we have it. The 2012 Honda Civic has, in fact, been chosen as a 'Top Safety Pick' by the IIHS (Institute for Highway Safety). When testing vehicles, the IIHS puts the vehicles through crashes that focus on the front, side, rear, and roof of the vehicle. To become a 'Top Safety Pick,' a vehicle must earn a top 'Good' rating on all tests and offer car-buyers electronic stability control standard on all models.
In total, the IIHS surveyed thirteen vehicles when testing in the small car segment. And of those thirteen cars tested only six were designated as being 'Top Safety Picks.' That makes the safety of the Civic seem even more impressive.
