When people first walk into our facility here at Gillman Honda San Antonio, they almost always come in expecting to test drive the 2015 Honda Accord because they've heard such great things about it. When a vehicle is on as many "top ten" and "best of" lists as the Accord, it's natural for consumers to wonder what all the fuss is about it, and while we don't have a quick easy answer to that question, one of the main reasons behind it is that the Accord is a great midsize family sedan because of its extensive and advanced safety features.
Back in the 2013 model year, every new Honda Accord model started coming standard equipped with a rearview camera, and that has become a very popular feature since. Also that year, Honda debuted the LaneWatch blind spot system on the EX trims on up, and that involves a little camera on the passenger side mirror that sends an image to the 8-inch display screen every time the right-side blinker is engaged.
Other optional advanced safety technologies include a lane-departure warning that lets drivers know when they've drifted into dangerous territory due to drowsiness or distraction, and a forward-collision warning system keeps passengers safe by predicting an imminent collision and making appropriate adjustments to minimize damage.
All of these features have earned the Accord a five-star overall rating from the federal government's crash tests, and it also has aced the tests performed by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, earning a Top Safety Pick+ designation along the way.
