The Honda Accord, Civic, and CR-V all Make the List of the 10 Best Family Cars of 2013

BARRINGTON, Ill. - June 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com have released their list of the 10 Best Family Cars of 2013, and three Honda vehicles — the Accord, Civic, and CR-V — have all earned top honors. At Motor Werks Honda, a premier Honda dealer in Barrington, IL (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/honda-dealers-barrington.htm), the news was greeted with a great deal of excitement. This official recognition is further confirmation that these Honda models are among the very best family vehicles on the market.

In compiling their list, the experts at Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com evaluated hundreds of vehicles from a variety of automakers, rating them in the target areas of safety, fuel economy, technology, and connectivity — all of which are important criteria in judging how family-friendly a vehicle may be.

Here’s a look at the three top rated Honda vehicles as chosen by Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com:

2013 Honda Accord Sedan – Topping the family sedan segment, the Accord has earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), as well as a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score* from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Fully redesigned for 2013, this sophisticated 4-door features a roomy and comfortable interior, a powerful and efficient engine, and available tech features such as the Honda LaneWatch™ blind spot monitor.
2013 Honda Civic Sedan – Voted the top-rated family car for budget shoppers for the second consecutive year, the Civic has received a number of important upgrades for 2013, including Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink™, SMS text messaging, and a rearview camera. Like the Accord, it too has earned the Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS, as well as the 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the NHTSA.*
2013 Honda CR-V – The top family crossover for the second year, the CR-V, with its versatility and wide range of standard features, is still an ideal small SUV for families. And as with the two other top-rated Honda vehicles, it also is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and has an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score.

All three of these class-leading, family-friendly vehicles are currently available at Motor Werks Honda. Contact their dealership (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/contact-form.htm), conveniently located at 1475 South Barrington Road in Barrington, IL, for more information.
