This means the IIHS determined the Fit as a “GOOD” rating in four crash test modes, with an “ACCEPTABLE” score in the new small overlap frontal crash test. In that regard, the Fit becomes the highest rated vehicle in the subcompact segment with this IIHS testing guideline.

Modifications to the front bumper structure make the newest Fit safer than ever before, with Honda engineers quickly adapting to the challenging small overlap test.

Hilton Head Honda Dealer Promotes Teen Driver Safety

At Stokes Honda Cars of Beaufort, our Honda dealer serving Hilton Head, we are proud to announce that Honda has appeared multiple times on a brand new list—a list of safer used vehicles for teen drivers. Numerous model years of pre-owned brand vehicles have been acknowledged on this list created by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Research conducted by the IIHS discovered that motor vehicle collisions are the primary cause of death among teenagers. Their findings have further suggested that the type of automobile driven has an immense effect on the degree of the risk. Most teens drive used vehicles missing vital safety technology and, as a result, this list was assembled to help guide parents when in search of vehicles for their teenagers.
